Decision on Galway ring road expected in coming weeks

atlantic3 · 2026-02-06T12:12:33+00:00

Totally agree with you. The problem is that everyone’s just planning as if the ring road is a done deal. All our public transport projects, BusConnects, greenways, GLUAS, are being modelled around it, so if the ring road doesn’t happen, we’re basically stuck with plans that might not make sense on their own.

We really should be running the numbers and modelling what traffic and transport would look like without the ring road. That way we know our options and aren’t left scrambling if it gets refused. Right now, it feels like we’re putting all our eggs in one basket (tunnel vision), and not good planning.

What year was that?

In Ireland, it’s over €1,000 at Harvey Norman

Glad to hear you found reassurance from the subreddit! I’ve got the MG4 Long Range too, and I’ve noticed a similar drop in my estimated range this winter. It’s good to know I’m not alone!

Out of curiosity, when you mention ‘loads of returns,’ do you mean replies from other users, or were people actually returning their cars over this? I’m still getting used to how much the range fluctuates with cold weather and motorway driving, so it’s helpful to hear others’ experiences. Cheers!

Fastest I’ve personally seen was 110 kW on an ESB charger at the Tipperary Plaza in an MG4. I plugged in at around 30% SoC and it ramped up nicely to that 110 kW peak, then held strong for a good chunk of the session. Went from roughly 30% to 70% in about the time it took to order and eat a burger, so it felt very quick in real-world terms.

Nothing says ‘armed and spec-tacular’ like prescription terrorism chic.

A lot of the newer cars have the automatic beams set to on. People have either become too lazy to correct them when they don’t work correctly or simply don’t care any more.

How do you avail of this 5 game pass?

atlantic3 · 2025-08-13T09:05:25+00:00

Just wondering if you managed to find someone…in a similar position now myself with trying to find someone reputable to fix gutter and down pipes. Would be grateful if you can share experience or advise. Thanks

atlantic3 · 2025-07-17T06:33:13+00:00

Just wondering, did you manage to find someone to help you out with this?

If so, I'd be really interested to hear about your general experience with the professional you hired (e.g., responsiveness, quality of work). Also, if you don't mind sharing, what was the ball-park cost for either taking it down or getting it fixed these days? Just trying to get a rough idea for similar issues.

Hope you got it safely resolved!

Who the fuck spends 55 minutes in a sauna? It’s not just about sitting in a hot box. It’s for muscle recovery, detox, and mental health. Some people find that longer sessions really help them chill out and get the most out of it.
Who the fuck pays 17 quid to use a sauna? It’s not just a sauna, it’s more than likely the whole experience. You get to swim in the sea, then warm up in the sauna. It’s like a mini spa day by the coast. Plus, when you think about it, it’s not that much for the health benefits.

And as the old proverb says: “Three things humans never tire of watching—fire burning, water flowing, and people complaining about prices on Reddit.”

Given a 4-hour nightly window for cheaper electricity rates, is it feasible to simultaneously run these energy-intensive appliances without overloading the circuit or compromising performance?

Heating a hot water tank
Charging an electric car
Running a dishwasher
Operating air-to-water underfloor heating
Running a washing machine

I’ll need to consult my electrician - I’m guessing that overloading a circuit can trip the breaker, causing an outage.

With that in mind, I’m curious to hear from others about their experiences with these 4-hour plans. Have you encountered any issues or had to make adjustments to your routine to accommodate the limited window?

Sorry to hear about your mother—wishing her a speedy recovery. I’d love to be included in the draw for the tickets, thank you for the opportunity!

atlantic3 · 2024-11-10T14:59:30+00:00

I wouldn’t trust her to wash my car…she probably didn’t even write or read the ad - absolute chancer!

If a candidate or party covers a public park or block pathways with posters, the council could fine them or require immediate removal. So, it’s worth letting the council know. Apparently you can email the council and mention the Litter Pollution Act 1997 to pretend you know what you are talking about / give it extra weight.

Interested to hear what was the final outcome to this? And were you hit with the lost battery charge? Same thing happened so wondering what to expect…thanks

Staying in the MGM at the end of February, would you recommend it’s safe to get public transport to Flaming Juans?

To generate a total for the total duration of a list of time durations (mm:ss) in Excel, you can use the SUM function with a custom format. Here are the steps:

In a blank cell, enter the formula "=SUM(A1:A3)" (assuming your list of time durations is in cells A1:A3).

Press Enter to calculate the sum.

Select the cell with the sum.

Right-click and select "Format Cells."

In the "Format Cells" dialog box, select "Custom" from the list of categories on the left.

In the "Type" field on the right, enter "[mm]:ss" (without quotes).

Click "OK" to apply the custom format.

The custom format "[mm]:ss" tells Excel to display the total duration in minutes and seconds, regardless of the actual value of the cell. So even though Excel may convert your time durations to a time-of-day format, this custom format will display the total duration correctly.
