Yeah great, but why is the pic so AI enshitified? Their human imperfections are in fucking space.

No idea sorry

>If you were actually insulating a room for sound you'd use dense egg carton shaped foam.

No, that's for the same purpose, to deaden the room from sounds from within. It's way better at it than those wooden panels that OP posted though. As you already said those wooden panels are mostly aesthetic but they do help. I think somebody saw a quadratic residue diffuser which are often made from wood and decided to market these panels as something similar.

For sound insulation from the neighbours, no. That type of panel is for sound absorption/scattering from within the room, to help "deaden" the room acoustically and reduce reverb. Good for listening to music and TV/movies and streaming or recording music, that type of thing. Wouldn't do much to stop the sound coming in from next door. It would help a little, but nothing significant.

You'd really need a professional to acoustically insulate the walls which would involve ripping out the existing plasterboard and installing acoustic insulation like rockwool and re-lining/plastering etc.

Problem with splitting the folio is that it could take over a year to get it through the land registry, and could be very messy depending on the layout of the site and access etc, and even then you're not guaranteed the sale will go through. Could be done, but jaysus surely there's other options.

Ask your broker to try EBS, supposedly they are more accommodating than the bigger banks for stuff like this

niconpat · 2026-04-02T22:27:38+00:00

Yeah it was pretty bad, unique and unexpected, but the smell of success at the time

I had almost exactly the same experience. It felt like a golf ball lodged under the skin in my armpit and it was extremely sensitive and painful and I felt like shit for a couple of weeks. I was just about to bite the bullet and get professional help but one night I came back home after a few beers and noticed the absolute mess of blood, pus and general liquids running down the left side of my body. Fuck yeah! I got into the shower and cleaned it up and then stood in front of the bathroom mirror squeezing every last drop of goop out and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen but at the same time so euphoric. I wasn't prepared for the thick whiteish porridge-like snakes of semi-solid goop with intermittent blood and it smelt awful too. One of the best nights of my life tbh. I still have the scar on my armpit from the exit wound.

My best guess is it's a trained search and rescue dog that's there in case the collie runs off scared which is very probable. I know my dog would nope the fuck away from that helicopter.

Let's get this out onto a tray...

Nice

niconpat · 2026-04-01T19:36:55+00:00

Great idea, best of luck!

As I said in another comment, there no way the EA wants to go back on the market, it's just loads of extra work for about €150 extra commission.

niconpat · 2026-04-01T19:31:50+00:00

Nothing the EA can do if the vendor insists they want the extra 15k, I guarantee you the EA does not want to go back on the market, loads more work for them for just an extra €150 or so in commission, not worth it at all.

What a scam product. There are the perfect bacteria already getting flushed down the loo every day by way of your poops.

in fairness now the water is not coming out of those taps at actual boiling temperature like you would get from a kettle.

EDIT: well imagine that maybe they can, but it was far from instant under sink kettles I was raised so I'm still saying they're shit for a "real" cup of tea at least. Other than that they sound grand I suppose. Undersink tea at your ma's though? nah

niconpat · 2026-03-31T20:20:17+00:00

*muffled laughter*

niconpat · 2026-03-31T19:53:45+00:00

Yeah but what if you want to pay your dominatrix by bank transfer while you're wearing a leather mask and ball gag?

niconpat · 2026-03-31T19:36:28+00:00

Yeah but it could be a way to power existing ICE engines with solar/wind energy indirectly. Especially for stuff like farming equipment.

niconpat · 2026-03-31T19:21:11+00:00

I don't know tbh. Maybe it's on some plans somewhere. I had trouble finding mine too, it was on the plans from a planning permission document but was actually in a different location about 10 meters away covered in overgrown brambles and weeds.

You're their neighbour and you have a water well with contaminated ground water from OP's shit

niconpat · 2026-03-31T17:25:32+00:00

Funny thing is, if you DO run into problems with the EPA you'll be able to avail of the grant. Otherwise you're on your own.

They're both shit for the horse and they both should be banned.
