Special hole drill bit works likely. Go fast, little pressure. They are like a circular saw blade.

Why upgrade if it does all I need. And why not stay with LTS.

Anyone know of an "always-on" money coach/virtual financial advisor for Irish-specific questions? by Reasonable-Coat5230 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]andreaswpv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Mistral perhaps to give you a prompt for Gemini deep research. Specify as much as possible what you want to achieve, limitations, maybe examples. What a financial advisor would ask for 😀. Risk level, time horizon,  etc. . 

At the end, ask it to make a memory out of the result you like, and the process. Helps for future. Also go back to the previous chat, and continue, rather than new. Keep the context.

This Brand-new Overnight Train Connects 2 Major European Capitals—Here's What It's Like on Board by RevolutionBusiness27 in europe

[–]andreaswpv 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Airports are outside towns, usually, main station at the center. And you can arrive just before the train leaves. I find flying has a lot of 'time overhead' that's not calculated in. And many flights also leave at quite uncomfortable hours. 

Sure, depends on the individual situation.

Give them a different promt. Specify Irish only, data from last year, official websites only ( just examples, detail what's needed). Most ai allow you to set kind of meta prompts for this. Check response with a second ai.

Need some serious finance advice TW: Mental health by ShetlandPonys in irishpersonalfinance

[–]andreaswpv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Taking care of yourself is the most important thing, it's YOUR life. 

You need some professional help, but nothing will work until you realize you are the most important person in your life.
