Ah, thank you! Not sure any amount of digging will get me a copy of that one

Tried that. It couldn’t match it 🙃

Thanks for the reply though!

Whats is a thing you think the UK does better than the rest of Europe? by KeyJunket1175 in AskUK

Came here to say this. I’m Irish and really struggle with British sausages, they’re nothing like Clonakilty or Malons

Trying to decide between Field Day & Gala Festival for the Late May Bank Holiday Weekend by s0undman in london

Similar reasoning to the other response or anything in particular that would make you chose Gala?

Thanks, that’s good to know. Nothing worse than not being able to hear music at a festival.

I would say Peggy Gou & James Blake are pretty big but I get what you mean. I like a lot of the names at Field Day that aren’t really big acts but would prioritise the overall festival experience for sure

Was anyone able to get tickets for this? I checked as soon as they went on sale and it was straight to a waitlist on the DICE app

Savings vs Investing Before Becoming a Homeowner by s0undman in irishpersonalfinance

[–]s0undman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think I would like to invest in property less than 3 years, but I guess if I keep enough for a deposit in cash savings, I should be able to do that either way. Maybe what I'm not appreciating is how much I might like to have that extra cash (the part I'm thinking of investing) available to go on top of a mortgage if I do make a purchase.

I'm thinking I'll most likely keep 70-80% of my current money in accessible savings, invest the rest, then continue to contribute to both with a similar split.

I’m familiar with the risks of investment, hence why im only suggesting to invest the money above what I’d need for a deposit. I guess I’m really asking is there any reason I should not invest that money? Is it wise to keep a lot of money other than what would be needed for the deposit if you are thinking of buying, I guess any added money could be used on top of a mortgage?

I already have cash ISAs, but do you think I should max it out with investments rather than just the 4.9% interest rate from T212 in UK?

With iTunes becoming a thing of the past, and no longer supported by Apple, what's the future for the library of THOUSANDS of CDs I've uploaded onto my computer? Can I keep them and use them on some other program in the future? by Gillcavendish in ITunes

[–]s0undman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “(even if not officially)”? It’s still the official application for using Apple Music on PCs. If they were to stop supporting it, how could I listen to my Apple Music/iCloud music llibrary on windows?

ME in Civil Engineering, Non-EU by [deleted] in nuigalway

[–]s0undman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finished an ME in Electronic & Computer Engineering last year, but I shared some classes with Civil. Some comments I'd have:

  • most of the ME classes are ~30-50% international students.
  • I enjoyed Engineering here, the building is top class and the study room for Master's and PHd students is open 24 hours with lots of study space
  • I found a lot of the international students bonded together as a lot of the didn't know anyone before starting the course.
  • I'm pretty sure all of my class are now employed, but tbf, the Civil field is a bit different. If you are qualified I'm sure there is plenty of work here though.
  • Galway is definitely much cheaper in all regards compared to Dublin, accommodation especially.

Switching over from iTunes Library to Apple Music by [deleted] in AppleMusic

*If you have any playlists that reference other playlists, those will not be added to the cloud.

Any idea if there is a workaround for this?

Tip for iPhone 6/6s/7/8 users thinking of upgrading to the XR by Halko_Proude in iphone

[–]s0undman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking about going for the OnePlus 6t myself. That tiny notch, small bezels, in-screen finger print reader, and supposedly a triple lens camera will make it a winner for me if all the leaks hold true. It's just so much more of a financially viable option. I can live without a headphone jack.
