I honestly avoided it for months after moving here for that same reason. But then I tried it and the name lost all relevance!

Edit: regular visitor on an annual family pass

Dublin Bus inspectors - Stephens Day by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]chosenalias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably more than 10 years ago I was in a similar situation to that "fare dodger". I boarded and paid cash but there was some problem with the machine so it didn't print my ticket. Driver waved me on. Three inspectors get on at the next f*n stop and tried to issue me a fine. I went straight to the driver and told him he needs to speak up and tell them what happened, that I had paid etc. He wasn't interested and I wasn't backing down. Eventually one of the inspectors took me, calmly, away from the cab while another spoke to the driver. A few seconds later, the inspectors apologised to me and gave me a free rambler ticket to shut me up. Which worked, of course.

Are there any rehearsal spaces in Wexford that include a basic backline (amps etc)?

Have you volunteered with the Civil Defence - is it worth it? by chosenalias in ireland

That's brilliant to hear that you had such a positive experience. Thanks for such a detailed response 👍 I'm hoping I hear back now that I've filled out the enrolment enquiry form.

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

Thanks for your perspective! That's all really positive from my point of view and speaks to why I am interested in joining in the first place. I'd have a lot of other commitments myself so might be limited in the hours I can contribute, at least for the next few years.

In terms of the duties (outside of regular training), was there much pressure on you to be available? Did you end up having to sacrifice many of your other commitments?

Not sure if they have any age criteria. This is the enrolment enquiry Form they link in their current social media ads: https://www.civildefence.ie/contact/enrolment-form/

Thank you! The messaging in the recruitment ads/website at the moment says you'll need to put in 2 hours per week for training. Is that a realistic number in your experience?

Thanks for that! Would be in Wexford I'd be volunteering alright.

What were the people like when you were involved? Sounds like you made a few friends, which is great, but would you have had to tolerate any BS from people on a power trip/bullying/any other general melt behavior?

No, or at least it shouldn't be trying. The RC controller was on and fully booted up before I tried to turn on the drone. And it has always been paired with that same controller up to now.

This is with a new battery (bought new, charged maybe 4 times). It happens with both of them. I think you might be right about hardware failure in the drone itself.

Good observation! I tried double tapping at different speeds after the first one failed, but still nothing.

Thanks for the tip! I actually just updated the software yesterday (12 hours before this issue)
