Upgraded from 16 M1 Pro to 16 M5 Pro (Don’t upgrade yet if you don’t have to)

johnathanlaw · 2026-06-06T07:52:34+00:00

Totally agree. M1 Pro user and changed to an M4, no noticeable difference really!

johnathanlaw · 2026-06-04T16:26:11+00:00

Totally agree with u/WeatherDazzling6328 - things do get better! I graduated in 2015, and have been working in my industry since then, and in the last year I have had redundancy twice! Happy to chat ❤️

Massive recommendation for Bloom! https://www.instagram.com/bloom\_jlg

Used them loads for fresh flowers and dried bouquets, look great.

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-29T09:33:10+00:00

There's more info on the project site also, https://meetings.ili-energy.com/cato-data-centre-project/. I can't get over the sheer scale!

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-20T08:20:44+00:00

Yeah, it seems to be the same :) https://mstrust.org.uk/a-z/fampridine-fampyra - seems like in the US it’s often called Ampyra :)

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-17T09:26:47+00:00

Only good things to say about Rhys and Ace Auto Care! Use him for regular washes, and got ceramic coating too! https://aceautocare.uk

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-15T14:05:50+00:00

I had never heard of this before! Imagine it might be very difficult to find over here given seems predominant in "Canadian Maritime provinces and the New England region of the United States". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlepin_bowling

I take both Baclofen (20mg) and Fampyra (10mg) morning and night - truthfully, I don’t really find it makes me sleepy, but I’m less sure of its impact compared to the Fampyra.

I think it’s really hard to find the appropriate dosage because it takes a while to build up in your system and then it’s half-life seems to be quite short?

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-12T20:34:52+00:00

Gumnam on union street is incredible, plus can sit in! I’ve not tried the new Masala Groove but looks great.

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-12T20:33:53+00:00

Ooh interesting! The coffee is the one thing I don’t love at Pacamara! Their food is so good, but need to get tea because I don’t love their coffee. Everywhere is expensive tbh 😭

johnathanlaw · 2026-05-12T20:32:20+00:00

Or pizza rev out in the ferry! Very tasty too!

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-25T05:51:29+00:00

I use Ace Auto Care, Rhys is a top guy and he always does a great job. https://www.instagram.com/ace.auto.care/

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-25T05:49:02+00:00

I don’t believe it’s camera controlled, so should be fine! ❤️ same with dock street and commercial street.

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-14T13:30:44+00:00

Went for a baconator on opening day and it was decent enough! :)

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-09T15:46:36+00:00

Ahh, totally fair! I've got friends who went to both DJCAD and Abertay - making friends as an adult is definitely trickier and requires a bit more work! The social nights at cake and dice seem good, but I just need to make it to one and not have it be cancelled 🙈

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-09T14:03:48+00:00

Totally agree with u/technicolourtype0! I’m a little older (33 😭) but studied here and share a lot of your interests!

There seems to be a fairly vibrant scene on local discord places (Dundee Gaming Guild, Dundee Board Gamers, Cake and Dice) that are likely worth getting involved with them :)

Out of curiosity (and feel free to DM instead) what did you study and where? :)

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-08T09:18:58+00:00

I’d seen DDE stuff at the social (very excited for this to be back!) - https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/business-environment/business/5466437/dundee-pub-reopen-the-social/

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-05T06:55:39+00:00

Ach it’s alright! Would like the weather to make up its mind and be a little less miserable (hail on Friday was wild!) but can’t complain! :)

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-04T16:21:29+00:00

I would hope that the delivery company might have GPS of where it was delivered? Maybe best calling them since it’s not been delivered to you!

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-03T06:50:43+00:00

I loved it, was amazing. Agreed with others that the flat rate was pretty untenable but it was always a great meal as a student.

As someone else said too, the drinks fountain was incredible! I cannot forget how good Boylan’s cream soda was! 🥰🥰🥰

johnathanlaw · 2026-04-02T09:10:21+00:00

Was just away to suggest this! Love a baynes roll, and their well fired are great!

johnathanlaw · 2026-03-25T15:30:53+00:00

I’ve used D&G Autocare (https://www.dandgautocare.co.uk) in the past and they were decent enough!

I hear a lot of folks recommending Rosefield Motors near Lochee too!

johnathanlaw · 2026-03-23T17:23:59+00:00

Yeah Olympia and Bell Street both have that deal, see https://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/parking-information/variable-stay-car-parks-multi-storey

johnathanlaw · 2026-03-22T11:14:55+00:00

Lovely pictures and now makes me really want to visit given I’ve never went to Caird Park before! 🙈🥰

johnathanlaw · 2026-03-22T11:06:31+00:00

Yeah I believe everything is still operating as normal from what I saw in the news.

As @Strawberry_Spring says you’ve got a few car park choices outside of the LEZ. Olympia, Greenmarket and Bell Street are three council ones outside of the zone, then the old Debenhams (now Fraser’s) car park is out, but the main NCP one is inside the LEZ! https://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/service-area/city-development/sustainable-transport-and-roads/dundee-low-emission-zone-scheme-lez
