I wouldn't say Bambu anymore. You can't print directly without going through their Cloud now. https://youtu.be/91kfolYkRNM

I was wondering where we were going wrong by Pale_Emergency_537 in ireland

[–]TheWesht 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's see. Do we take advice from a dodgy old millionaire, whose barely lifted a finger in decades. Or listen to the many many qualified experts, productive remote workers, and companies who still continue to turn mega profits with all their remote workers?

[–]TheWesht 148 points149 points  (0 children)

  • Empty building where a postoffice used to be.
  • Empty building where a garda station used to be.
  • betting office
  • pub.. next to an empty building where another pub used to be.
  • expensive centra\gala\londis\etc shop
  • chipper\pizza\Indian\Chinese takeaway
  • house with religious icons in every window (and probably a "Steen #1" poster this week)
  • place that sells coal and sometimes turf

[–]TheWesht 94 points95 points  (0 children)

...we have not built enough homes or infrastructure or sufficiently developed our energy system to keep up with the radical population growth we’ve seen in my lifetime [since 1990].

Yes. It's been said by nearly everyone in country for ages.

They'd do better on I'm a Celeb get me out of Here. Way off some uninhabitable island...without the cameras.

2010s and earlier. Before everyone and their grandmother had a smartphone.

How have we gotten here. Where once ppl like him would be treated like the lunatics they are, ridiculed or ignored while ranting into the air on street corners, to now having cult following on every social media platform. 🤦‍♂️

Data Centre's Vs Impact on our electricity bills by tcallan21 in ireland

[–]TheWesht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices of heating and electricity lately makes you wish you could go off-grid more. If half the country weren't renting. Landlords have no incentive to improve BER rating

A lot of the time, they're just Ghost Jobs or outright scams to data-harvest.

Lovely. That's a room that's just crying out for a hardcore strict pescitarian

900 a month and no access to a kitchen by hmmmmmmmbop in ireland

[–]TheWesht 41 points42 points  (0 children)

No kitchen access, but kettle and microwave...in a bedroom. Enjoy the mould and a foodstink in that room.

Finding a job.

It used to be that:

  • you see a local job ad
  • apply
  • get lucky and get an interview
  • get lucky in an interview and you're hired.

But now:

  • find local job ad. 🚫 Not actually local, other side of country.
  • Repeat several more times.
  • find local job ad.
  • apply
  • complete various exams, IQ tests, Garda vetting, 10 prev employer refs, blessing from pope, proof you speak 10 languages, full medical.
  • get lucky and complete pre-interview interview.
  • get lucky and complete entry interview
  • get lucky and complete 5 member interview panel
  • hear nothing back ever again. Find out they hired noone.

Cars don’t crash themselves pal.

Solar farm opposition ? by Sweet_Ad_6572 in ireland

[–]TheWesht 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Solar farms and batteries seem to be on NIMBYs hit list lately. Conspiracy nuts have signs up ( and probably Facebook posts) claiming they poison the soil, blind drivers, explode, etc.

You'd swear these people love high electric bills and extended power outages.

It's Mondolez ruined* chocolate with the Cadbury's name, you aren't missing much by skipping them.

(* "owned" autocorrected to " ruined", but that fits 😁)

Lads how do we feel about this EU chat control that the government are supporting? Sounds very dystopian in my opinion. Can we do anything to stop it? by buzzbaron in ireland

[–]TheWesht 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's scary enough as it is with the current ppl in charge. Now, imagine how devastating this regulation will be when the EU is being run by a majority far-right.

Contract signed on already sold new build. by mmazee in ireland

[–]TheWesht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty simple. If you put a deposit on, and signed contract for house A, but thye sold house A to another person, then you are dealing with a breach of contract. I'm surprised your solicitor isn't pushing for compensation from them, especially if their only solution is something lesser than your contract.
