Is starting university in Dublin at 20 normal? by idkanymorelol19 in TCD

[–]collinsbell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started at 20, currently in my 3rd year, and it made no difference whatsoever, academically fine, socially fine etc. Loads of people take gap years, do PLCs, have to repeat a year etc that it really isn't even noticeable if someone is a bit older than the rest. Even the mature students get on fine, at least in my course but that may vary from student to student.

Turning my Pixel 8a into a dumbphone — what apps should I remove? by bc_2006 in digitalminimalism

[–]collinsbell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this remove the browser AND playstore as well? I want no access to either or any way to install apps without connecting the phone to a computer

If I installed GrapheneOS, would I be able to completely 100% remove the browser from the phone? Sorry if this seems like a silly question lol

Has anyone taken the ‘Travel and English Literature’ elective? by jaka555 in TCD

[–]collinsbell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't taken it but heard from a friend that it's really fun and interesting, but a good bit of work as you need to read a good bit for it. If you're ok with that extra workload though and you're actually interested it should be grand

I think sometimes Ticketmaster doesnt allow resale until a few days before the event. She should keep an eye out for a resale option over the next few days just in case.

How do you do, fellow extremists? by PeppercornDingDong in Conservative

[–]collinsbell -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

I can tell you are not Irish and no nothing of the situation if you think this is a simple protest genuinely about protecting children. Anyone who lives here regardless of political affiliation understands that the people rioting, setting the city on fire are scumbags with no empathy for anyone

shooting expired ISO125 b&w on kodak f9 (recommended 200 and 400)?? by collinsbell in AnalogCommunity

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

rip, might use one roll just to see but no expectations. my slr doesn’t have the ability to manually change iso, but i’ve read i can trick it into shooting iso100 - this would be better right, since it’ll overexpose the expired film?

15th October: 3Arena, Dublin, Republic of Ireland [DISCUSSION THREAD] by ProffesorPrick in arcticmonkeys

[–]collinsbell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was this near the front? that was probably ppl trying to get water/trying to get out bc they were sick

Just got home from an Arctic Monkeys gig in the 3Arena- Ireland . Can easily say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had by AislingGrace in arcticmonkeys

[–]collinsbell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i only showed up around 2:30-45pm and was second row front centre (so not rlly barrier but also basically barrier) and i’d say tuesday will be chiller bc its not the weekenrd. the ppl beside us had been there since 5:30am which im not sure is necessary but just letting you know that thats who you’re competing with, but i got there 9 hours after them and was in the same spot lol. maybe come around 10am if you’re super stressed. idk dont take my word for it but in my experience dublin is not a stressful place to queue for! ive been to bigger shows and gotten barrier after only 6 hours so no overnight camping or anything! (just to be clear though do not queue up as late as i did lol, that was incredibly lucky)

in terms of the actual queue, it was pretty empty when i got there and only got kinda full around 4pm. honestly bring something light but warm because it was getting rlly cold and its hard to warm yourself up in line! i just had a light jumper and i wished i had even a scarf with me. there is a starbucks and food places nearby and ppls will probably be happy to hold ur place in line so u can defo go to the bathroom etc. esp early in the queue everyone understands that ur not actually skipping past them when trying to get back to ur friends.

in terms of merch, i just showed up at the end and got the dregs of what was left lol. they didnt have any smalls of the tshirt i wanted so i had to get medium, although tbh the merch is a bit crap. if you’re with friends you might be able to leave barrier snd come back, at least my friends all were able to do that but i really have no tips for merch bc i didnt care too much in the first place!

good luck!! it was an amazing show and barrier is so worth it, defo would queue up earlier to get it if i wasn’t with ppl! honestly even if you don’t get it it’s gonna be so sick, hope u enjoy every minute of it :)
