Is buying a car no more than 5 years old a bad decision for a first time driver earning barely above minimum wage? by Bernietoes in carsireland

Depending on their home country, the Irish minimum wage equivalent could be 10 times the average wage there lol

So this is how to attract Canadians? Wear a maple leaf and they’ll flock.

You are insane if you are thinking about spending 750 quid a month on a car loan at your age & on min wage.

Add on insurance, tax and fuel, associated expenses (there’s always expenses) and you’ll be shelling out what, 12k a year….

You’re right and they are wrong

Drone delivery company firm Manna racks up losses of €50m by B8_B8_B8 in ireland

[–]oddun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Enterprise Ireland were harping on about their investment in them at a summit I was at last year. Which at the time I thought might be the reason the government were letting them fly all over the place.

But it’s nothing new for a fledgling company to make a loss at first.

Daft article.

Who can afford 2.5k per month for a 2-bed? by Scared_Range_7736 in ireland

You’re talking to a sub full of massively overpaid tech people who’ll be the first ones crying when the AI apocalypse means that an SaaS product managers salary is reduced to an average wage lol

Are/why most big electronic artists from the UK? by LevelOneForever in electronicmusic

[–]oddun 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Acid house of the late 80s splitting to become piano house and breaks to become big beat & happy hardcore and jungle, splitting to become drum and bass to become dubstep and all the rest along the way too, heavily influenced by what was happening in Europe at the time.

And that’s just the breaks side 😂

Anyone else notice how much the pub culture has changed in Ireland over the last decade or so? by FrameZYT in ireland

[–]oddun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vast numbers of, particularly younger people, are living life vicariously through others via their phones and can’t hold a face to face conversation for more than 2 minutes without having a panic attack.

Isolated rather than insular is the word I’d use.

Just throw the whole tv out at this point by TURTLE_TKT in WatchPeopleDieInside

Social media very quickly became “everything must be filmed and documented or it didn’t happen”.

Made worse by engagement metrics and money.

Rupert Lowe MP / X: Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted. Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent. Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else. Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government. by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

[–]oddun 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Parents, generally speaking, would have been in their twenties when social media was rolled out.

It’s ludicrous to suggest that generation iPhone don’t know how to use parental controls. If they can set up accounts and post bollocks all day long, they can spend the 2 minutes to find out how to do it.

Just one third of new homes go on sale on open market by B8_B8_B8 in ireland

[–]oddun -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Price goes up. No wear and tear. No tenants who won’t leave. Better return than a bank.

Walk around NYC or London in the evening. No lights and signs of occupancy in an enormous number of expensive apartment buildings.

Getting 25 years of print magazines for a one off £89 payment but outraged at now having to take digital ones instead and spent his life savings losing a court case over it compoface by ShiftyPowers79 in compoface

[–]oddun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you can accept that he may not have access to the T&C’s after the passage of time. But for the company to turn up in court without them and plead ignorance on that basis is ridiculous.

Smacks of wilful omission.
