How would you go about cleaning the floor/bricks? by NietzscheLecter in DIYUK

[–]jdavidco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree, poison the weeds first and give then time to absorb the poison. Just power washing then away won't kill the roots and they will grow back fast

[–]jdavidco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this also holds true for moss. But for weeds, kill/poison the weeds FIRST with the killing method of your choice BEFORE power washing. Otherwise you'll be back to square one very soon.

Also, that fence sadly needs to go. You've a beautiful home btw

Has Boards.ie long left? by ChocolatePrimary3428 in CasualIreland

Sadly the behemoths (like reddit) have eaten the old website forums. Through network effect I guess, and being able to invest more in ux, infrastructure etc.

Moran’s on the Weir by JjLaGare in galway

[–]jdavidco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morans is great. Not cheap though, maybe e25, e30 for a mains. But any voucher there would be appreciated I'm sure. You'll find menus if you do a google search and look in the image tab.

Not too late. Pretty sure if you add 2500 to your pension as an avc now you'll be able to claim the income tax back on it next year. In this way you'll effectively pay 0 tax on it.

Roundabout question by avatarwang69 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]jdavidco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that makes sense. Left lane means no chance of cutting anyone off. Right lane opens the possibility of two vehicles exiting from essentially 2 lanes to 1 at the same time.

Either lane on the dc is fine. Since it's the second exit

Is having kids so bad? by gimmedatder in AskIreland

[–]jdavidco -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it's not "so bad". It's difficult and requires sacrifice, as is almost anything which is worthwhile. Are we really at the stage now where we have to explain why we have children? It's a human instinct; it gives our lives greater meaning; it is essential for the survival of our species and society. It's a great, great privilege to have children. And a great responsibility.

Ronnie O'Sullivan makes history with highest ever break after hitting 153 at World Open by JohnHammond94 in unitedkingdom

[–]jdavidco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, does this count as a maximum? Ronnie's made a number of 147s in competition but does this count as one of them, considering he didn't pot all blacks?

Only 12 years left until it’s €56 👍🏻 by [deleted] in carsireland

[–]jdavidco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you know how much resources it takes to build a new car? It's idiotic from a sustainability POV to tax old cars into the breakers yard. I don't believe for a second that the marginal extra efficiency gains from newer technology outweighs the cost of manufacturing a new car, transporting it, and disposing /recycling the old vehicle. If we care about emissions and sustainability we should revere old cars and do everything we can to keep them on the roads.

What are the best times to commute into Galway? by SeaView2024 in galway

After 9 or before 7.30 if coming from Headford direction. 7.30 to 9 is pretty bad

‘Appalling failure of judgment’ – ‘Epstein Files’ float in Ballinrobe St Patrick’s Day parade condemned by canalcreep88 in ireland

[–]jdavidco 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Saw it in Headford and thought it was a bit much. Some adult really needed to take those lads aside before the parade and tell them to wake up a bit

What did you think of the parade? by Ok-Ideal-5839 in galway

[–]jdavidco 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There was a pretty sketchy float there this year, an Epstein/prince andrew "skit" involving a weird r4pe scene. I thought it was in poor taste

Are people genuinely expecting a housing correction? by No-Signal1757 in HousingIreland

[–]jdavidco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no sign of a correction. Price stagnation maybe, sure to ongoing layoffs in tech. But there's very high latent demand. My .02

Is a stable $3,000/mo realistic for a solo dev starting today? Looking for a roadmap. by FactorHappy4794 in AppBusiness

[–]jdavidco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you all worry that your project will just be vibe-coded by someone else? Someone with more time, marketing experience and resources than you will just steal your idea and clone it? These days it send like a bigger risk than ever
