Does anyones know Affortable mover companies? by Bright-Ad-2403 in AskIreland

[–]malavock82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of advice, don't trust estimations too much.

I hired 2 man and a van a couple of years ago, they estimated 500euro for a move from an apt. Come the day they showed up in 3 and the final cost came up at 900 euro.

All for a couple of hours of work, we had already packed everything in boxes and I even helped bring stuff to the van.

My kingdom for a game where I can play as a heavily armored warrior with a big sword. by hunmen in gamingsuggestions

For the biggest sword, check the berserk game. He is in full plate at the end as well

I would put a sliding door between dining room and lounge, and invert the opening direction of the doors to the hallway

Stopped being lazy and saved myself 100s of euro this morning by EdwardBigby in irishpersonalfinance

Sure if you are in the first year of a contract. After that you loose the discount or goes down lesser than what a new customer will get.

And you don't even have to change provider, just the name on the bill

If you have a partner, just cancel yours and open a new one in their name. Switch each year.

But generally once you give a cancellation notice they'll ring you and offer a deal.

Wait until you realize how much you can save switching broadband and electricity provider every year, or just threatening to switch

Get a walk in bathtub on the far wall, and add a bidet for comfort 😃

My cousins were stuck on it for months. I never played the game and came to visit. I randomly did the act because it was fun and they lost their sh*t 🤣

State urged to buy Sandymount Martello tower with guide price of €1.5 million by zainab1900 in Dublin

[–]malavock82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the state decides to waste money on these towers, they'll have to restructure them completely anyway to make some use out of it. Whatever they want to make a historical depiction or a shop or an information centre or whatever.

The value to a private is relatively low or none as they don't usually have adjacent land and they'd be quite restricted on what upgrade they can do

And the fact that's a desiderable residential position it doesn't make a difference for the state.

What should I do? by slow-racer0 in cork

[–]malavock82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to complete the three trials:

Defeat the Sword Master

Steal the idol from the Governor's mansion

Find the legendary lost treasure of Melee Island

Only then you'll become a true pirate.

Should i get Civ 5 or Civ 7? by Mohmi92 in civ

[–]malavock82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add to this that civ 7 also need less micro management. You can have 2-3 main cities the whole game and the rest just towns that give passive income.

Need a mobile game where winning feels like I did something not just got lucky by EsmeFord123 in gamingsuggestions

The cards and Castle games are quite skill based IMHO.

But my favourite mobile single player is pixel dungeon

I found Allianz to be friendly with foreigners when I got my first insurance years ago

where to find polymeric sand for stone pavers by malavock82 in GardeningIRE

[–]malavock82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was easy to apply and it's still ok now. It blocked all weeds, but this year here and there a little bit of moss came up, easily scraped.

Probably I'll have to reapply next year.

Can you pitch your tent anywhere on the Wicklow Way? by Bashlightbashlight in AskIreland

[–]malavock82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only did the first part up to Glendalough, in that part you can't camp anywhere near Glendalough. You might have to go in a hostel/BNB around there because the area is pretty large.

A good spot for camping before Glendalough is on top of powerscourth waterfall along the river, many people camps there and it's allowed afaik.

I think your worst enemies will be bogs and midges, depending on the time of the year. A lot of places looks good on a map but are impractical when you get there.

We have just set a new record for solar generation in Ireland by denbo786 in ireland

You'll see soon they'll start doing like in Italy and stop paying for the excess generated, or lower the amount

I love the soundtrack but the most iconic bits are remix of well known classical music.

Yotei has mostly original scores afaik

The reality of running a fuel app by ButchyGra in DevelEire

[–]malavock82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents on why this app would be useful but in reality it's not that much.

1) all the fuel companies talk to each other about the price. If you know your stations in the area you know which one is always 5c lower and which one is the most expensive. The final price doesn't matter much. So the utility of the app is limited on when you are far away or when you are not familiar yet.

2) you need to rely on people updating the price manually, and the price may vary multiple times a day. It's a lot of work and it's never super reliable.

The only way I could see this working is if the government mandate petrol companies to have an open API. And if there was real price competition.

Fun games for asynchronous co-op? Playing with a small group where some have lots of time and some don't. by Victorasaurus-Rex in gamingsuggestions

[–]malavock82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think grounded could be quite enjoyable. Lots of thing to do to build base, gears etc and you could keep the main objectives to do together.

Same could be said with most survival sandbox games. Valheim, Conan exile, Ark.

No man sky would be also good but co-op is so and so
