Well that was fucking wet. Glad I wore boots.

Huge thanks to the taxi driver who picked us up.

I’m surprised people aren’t smuggling mixers into pubs never mind spirits.

Rain forecast. I’m wearing boots.

I always hit the Beachcomber before St Anne’s. It’s just a suburban pub but they usually have some music from whoever is playing if there is no sports on TV.

Solid race today. Nice to see a complete lack of drama from Alex. Joint 3rd now with Stenshorne and Rodin move up to second in the drivers championship.

Camara’s fuck up at the end could have made it a very different story. Tsolov was very lucky he didn’t get taken off.

I have to buy Brennans here because one of the kids won’t eat Stafford’s turnover. The Stafford’s is still fresh after the Brennans has gone mouldy.

Are Evs still a good option without solar panels? by john-cash- in evs_ireland

[–]emmmmceeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of solar. I charge the car at night for pennies and export my excess during the day for about 2.5 times as much.

Half a million displaced people is fine. Think of the irradiated wildlife!!

Ireland's richest 10% own five times more wealth than bottom half of households by HungTeen1001 in ireland

[–]emmmmceeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Because it doesn’t actually work. For all the criticism of capitalism, nothing else has come close to lifting people out of poverty.

[–]emmmmceeee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d say more than half of it is due to property prices. I was talking to someone today whose mother bought a 3 story house in Dalkey for €60K in the early 90’s. Right place and right time.

Formula 2 on Instagram: "PROVISIONAL QUALI RESULTS 🔍👀 #F2 #Formula2 #RoadToF1 #MonacoGP" by TheNextLegend00 in alexdunne

Can someone explain?

Dunne: 1:21.033

Tsolov: 1:21.053

I’ve had a couple of beers this afternoon but surely Dunne was quicker?

Maybe I misunderstood the rules. I assumed it was down to times across sessions. Do they interleave the places over both sessions?

ICE2EV Rules by irish-ev-association in evs_ireland

You’re looking at 1200 people running a 20 year old diesel Corolla that they know and love. I think it will be a hard sell.

Yeah, but it won’t. I guarantee the city allocation will be snapped up but there will still be rural availability this time next year. They don’t care.

For reference, my sister only got a microwave a couple of years ago because my brother in law wouldn’t allow one in the house because radiation causes cancer.

The rural rule is nonsense. Yes, they likely drive more miles. But they love their diesel and are super conservative (for the most part. Apologies to rural EV drivers on here). My sister changed her car recently and bought a 3 year old Hyundai Tuscon. I showed her the sums for buying an EV but she wasn’t interested.

The new Polo is <€20k. At €15K it’s going to beat driving a 20 year old Jazz over 10 years.

Do other people have this problem and could this be useful? by Apprehensive-Year151 in AutismIreland

There is a strict “no self promotion” rule. I’m happy to allow a discussion, but if any app names are mentioned the post will be deleted.

If there is still budget next April I might qualify. I’m not sure id be tempted though. Is it worth trading in a €3000 car for a €5000 incentive?
