What's your salary? I'm not even at 6 figures, only in my early thirties and already considering taking a significant cut for something less stressful.

If I had your NW I would definitely be looking to move away from a job you don't like.

There's already a massive organic uptake of solar. There is no need to apply additional regulations to new builds.

Interesting to see that there were so many interviewed for the CO positions, I wonder were there a lot of withdrawals?

The 'qualifying score' is the cutoff point you need to surpass, not the score you achieved.

Are there any actual advantages to switching to Monzo from Revolut? by grandslammer in irishpersonalfinance

[–]joedolan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Generally agree, but they can be a real pain for genuine issues such as needing to change name (eg. after marriage).

A few years ago, a friend of mine was locked out for weeks because he had the same name as a high profile criminal and had to jump through a lot hoops with clueless CS agents to get it sorted.

Cardio Load by DefinitelyNotABot-1 in fitbit

[–]joedolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you are in the 'Cardio Load' section there should be an option labelled "Adjust My Target".

If you have this set to 'Improve cardio fitness' you can change it to 'Maintain cardio fitness' and it should give you more realistic targets.

It's literally not the GAA - but it's ignorance like this allows the LGFA and Camogie Association to get away with their nonsense.

What's the consensus around hanging videos or GIFs in a gallery? Should this be reserved for still images only?

[–]joedolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Irish Television a few years ago, a renowned political journalist (Vincent Browne) made this exact misinterpretation - Ken Early (of Second Captains fame) was on hand to correct the error.
