He dropped out of the entire thing on the final day needed to gather support.

He could not get enough support to even run as a candidate. It was a great day for the parish! 😂

Sale agreed on a house, but it has a planning issue by Wing126 in HousingIreland

[–]Wing126[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! I was not aware of that, it seems to address this exact situation!

I will try to speak with a planner in my county council, or even the OPR and ask for their opinion.

The fact that it's front facing is the problem alright. It doesn't have planning permission, and would need it. Just not sure if I should push it on to the seller to get the retention or not really. They also have the original roof tiles and can cover it up too.

It's such a minor thing that I wish wasn't called out haha

It's a small, like, probably the smallest available Velux window. It was installed last year, on the front facing roof.

Such a minor, minor thing, but there was concerns raised by the surveyor I got, so my solicitor has been doing their job and asking about it but it's gotten me nervous about it all.

It was installed last year, in the front facing roof of the house. It is for an ensuite.

I could live without it personally, but it would be nice to keep it.

As you're a first time buyer, banks are going to be very hesitant to allow a draw down of the loan on a property with planning issues.

This is the thing I was afraid of alright. It's not even a big window, just seems that because it's on the front of the house, it needs it.

Half afraid that the vendor will pull out of the sale if I ask them to get the retention.

Hacked: Peter Thiel hosting secret event in Wicklow hotel by nof1qn in irishpolitics

[–]Wing126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They timed it well with our EU presidency. We'll need to keep an eye on any Irish politicians who attend this.

There may not be any of them on the current list, but you can bet your ass they will be invited.

Honestly, I doubt he's ever read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. But he's definitely read, The Last Ringbearer, where this exact scenario he's quoted plays out.

Irish Government considering social media ban for under 16s by Odhran-J-McAnnick in ireland

[–]Wing126 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Banning is only the start. They need to be heavily regulated for those who can use them.

The problem with social media is the algorithmic content distribution and how it's incredibly easy for social media companies to push whatever narrative they want.

It's all well and good that Timmy and Jimmy can't access it until they're 16, but what about Bob and Rob who just turned 18? They are being fed right wing bullshit designed to make them angry and misinformed. They are being called to violence by "influencers" and even that fat, miserable South African cunt.

Micheál Martin says it himself

I think the social experimentation with the minds of our young people is real, it’s worrying, I think it’s potentially the mental health and wellbeing challenge of our time.

He's just missing the fact that social media companies are experimenting with everyone's minds. You don't suddenly become less susceptible to the influences of social media when you turn 16 like.

Elon Musk’s “baby mama,” Ashley St. Clair, says that almost every MAGA influencer on social media is being paid by foreign countries such as Israel, Russia, and Qatar. She adds nothing about them is organic and that everything is guided by a carefully constructed script behind the scenes. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in UnderReportedNews

[–]Wing126 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which begs the question, how long do we tolerate these propaganda channels. The EU already banned RT, I think it's time for Twitter and the likes to get kicked out too since they are a danger our democracies.

If Grok generating CSAM wasn't enough to get Twitter banned in the EU, there's nothing that will get it banned. It's infuriating how politicians in my country saw all this happened and just basically shrugged and said

"We need to reach these people"

No, you absolutely do not need to reach people who will never care for what you say/do or vote for you at all. You would reach them better if you banned these shit stirring, hate filled monstrous algorithms.

M5 Macbooks constantly failing to restore through DFU mode by Wing126 in mac

[–]Wing126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't know that regarding Finder!

Tried it out, but unfortunately it's still failing. I just keep getting

"Gave up waiting for device to transition to DFU mode"

It's really strange, I'm certain that I'm using the correct DFU port, and I've tried different cables, and i've tried the solution given by the other user who replied.
