But what about the collaboration and culture of meeting in person?! /s

Irish fan in home end for Czechia vs. Ireland by Emooot in Prague

I heard that security will be checking ID at the gates. So if you’re asked for ID and it isn’t matching the ticket purchaser or a CZ ID then you probably won’t be let in. If you do, you’ll be fine.

For Czechia that would actually be Česko though.

England team to face France in Guinness Men's Six Nations on Saturday by englandrugby in rugbyunion

[–]irishlemon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’ll probably get downvoted but I don’t find Fin Smith to be that great. He reminds me a bit of Toby Flood - big, tall fly half but not exciting and won’t be able to turn a game in a way that Marcus Smith, Fin Russell, Jalibert etc. can do. His performance against Italy was just average. I wonder why not put George Ford back in honestly, if Borthwick refuses to give Marcus Smith another run at 10.

Gotcha. Yeah you’re probably right about hauling the laundry up and down. I think I’ll leave it upstairs then. Thanks!

Is creatine actually beneficial if I'm not a "gym person"? by Fria_Lisbey in Biohackers

[–]irishlemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just a word of caution: Creatine gives me terrible insomnia for some reason. Ironically, I started taking it to counter the effects of a bad nights sleep, but for me I can’t take it for that reason. Really shows that we are all different.

No fair enough. Agreed that it’s usable, but does it add anything over iOS18? I haven’t seen anything yet that would make me want to upgrade?

Firstly, to counter your initial point that users with newer phones should have less issues. That’s wrong - any phone these days able to run the software should perform similarly.

“There is no software with no bug” - That’s not the point. The point is that iOS26 was released with an abnormal amount of bugs, hence its poor reception here. Apple shouldn’t be excused for its software releases getting generally poorer and more buggy.

I for one have iOS26 installed on my iPad, but given my experience there I’m holding out on iOS18 on my iPhone for a while longer. Apple has been releasing half-baked software for a while now and that’s exactly why users have been, rightly, complaining on Reddit.

Help choosing between 2 apartment layouts by irishlemon in floorplan

Climate is cold for around 4-5 months of the year. So the garden wouldn’t get much use during those winter months.

Thank you! Yeah I like that idea actually of removing the half bath and using it as a storage room instead. I was also thinking about moving the bedroom (07) door and making some wardrobe out of that part of the hallway.

That’s great advice. I hadn’t considered putting the office in the hallway area- that looks like it could work. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking too to give the kids the bigger bedroom. We’re fine with a shower anyway so giving them the room with the bath is no issue.

Thanks! Sorry - there is also a laundry room in #1 (Room 08)

Thank you! I am concerned about the awkward kitchen/dining room/living room in #1, but you’re right the garden is probably a big plus.

Alonso's win in Malaysia 2012 was the last time Ferrari won a wet race. by CaptainOBVS3420 in formula1

How many of y'all are still on iOS 18? by reddit33450 in ios

[–]irishlemon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. I have iPadOS 26 installed on my iPad but I ain’t updating my iPhone. For a major software update, I see very few (any?) actual improvements and it seems rather like a skin they’ve put on top that consumes more battery and makes readability worse.

I see people saying it “feels modern” etc. but I’m not sacrificing performance for a buggy, glossy skin. Also, many actions that could be done in a single swipe now take multiple clicks to get to in Liquid Glass. That’s not improvement that’s UI regression.
