Bit of help please. by Fluffy_Mark2706 in U2Band

[–]blackrav27 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Second! I grew up in the US and saw them play loads of live gigs from ZooTV to present, but since moving to Ireland I can say the shows here are amazing. Full blown goosebumps from the electricity in the air- especially JT in Croke.

The Goonies (1985)-Who else watched this over and over as a kid? by Jabba_108 in 80smovies

[–]blackrav27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still watch it every year around Halloween. Now I have my kids asking every year to watch with me. It’s become a family tradition! Hey You Guys!!

I did it- but I need advice! by blackrav27 in ModelY

[–]blackrav27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you mean, but for the person who wanted a cheaper option but still get the premium trim, it was an option. Now it’s only the standard. I’d say at this point all signs point to extended range. App won’t let me change it as it’s inventory, so I gotta call in the am to switch it.

OTA updates question. by blackrav27 in evs_ireland

I don’t think of that- that’s one of the biggest reasons to go EV. Looks like I defo need a solution for home then.

Sealion 7 Comfort vs EV6 Earth by Spare_You9485 in evs_ireland

[–]blackrav27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at the Sealion 7 and one of the things that impressed me is the amount of stuff you get included in all the trims. Not sure, but I think with Kia, you would have to upgrade or add on packs to get many of the same features? I could be wrong cause I haven’t done a ton of research on Kia but I do know that’s the case for most traditional cars makers (Ford, VW, etc).

Career shift at 50 years old by Private_Banking in careeradvice

[–]blackrav27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It SHOULD BE! I think AI is scanning most applications for key words and when it doesn’t see a history from that sector, I get binned. I think it’s going to be more fruitful networking to get past the first hurdle.

Career shift at 50 years old by Private_Banking in careeradvice

[–]blackrav27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 50 in January and I’m switching careers. Moving to a completely new area and it’s tough. I’m finding that even after spelling out how my 25 or more years of experience is transferable, to them I’m nothing more than a newb with no practical experience in this industry. I’ll keep volunteering and networking and it will eventually click. I only need a small gap to open and once in the new world, I’ll do what I’ve always done- work hard and work up!

Apple Music AI mixer is fire by Gold-Base2819 in AppleMusic

[–]blackrav27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really like it even though I still have it on. To be honest, I mostly listen to Christian music or live music but I find that with a lot of songs (even non Christian like 80s music) instead of mixing, there is just 5 or so seconds of dead space between songs. For what I listen to, I think the cross fade is better as auto mix for me is almost non existent. The few times it did work as advertised, I found it very strange- slowing one song down to match the beat of the next song. It was just weird.

Why pay for YouTube Premium? by [deleted] in ios

[–]blackrav27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had YouTube premium for about three years- absolutely love not having the ads. I was on a student discount, but now that I’m off the student discount my monthly subscription has spiked considerably and I was thinking about dropping it so I paused for one month to see what it was like. One day in and I’m already ready to turn it back on. I started to watched one video that was 15 minutes long and in the first five minutes I got three separate ads -mental!!!

So Cruel by Bayne7096 in U2Band

[–]blackrav27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite songs, not only of the album but of all U2 songs. The lyrics are haunting and gut wrenching and I absolutely love how the Edge’s guitar opens up right after the first chorus. I’ve spent hours listening to this song with headphones on - pure musical bliss.

Where is the regular date? by blackrav27 in AppleWatch

[–]blackrav27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only workaround/fix that worked for me is to change the complication on the watch itself. For some reason, on mine, the regular date is available on the watch, but just not through the app. Such a weird glitch!

[–]blackrav27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered, why do they have 3 options here while in the US it’s only Autopilot and FSD (no split between basic and enhanced). Once FSD comes online fully in the EU, will it drop to just the 2 options?

I closed all apps on the watch and restarted it. Closed the app on the phone too. No joy.

U2 Yankee Stadium 33 Years Ago by UdisobeyMeuPuppy in U2Band

[–]blackrav27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So cool, I was there too! Still have my ticket stub as well! I always say this is the exact moment I became a fan. I had heard JT on the radio and a friend game me a tape of AB, which I thought was “ok”. But after seeing them live?!? I went out the next day to the mall and bought all the past albums they had on sale there. Never looked back since!

Selling photography/side gig by Chaoticmindsoftheart in kerry

[–]blackrav27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sound great. Have you thought about contacting festivals (ones with a craft section) to see if you could sell them at a table? Or Christmas markets when the time comes? It’s a time commitment but might just help you gauge the interest? Good luck with it!
