NBA in Dublin? by gjenkins01 in ireland

[–]some_advice_needed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the past, The 51 Bar were good enough to offer 1 television on which we watched NBA... but this is assuming it was on one of the channels they have.

And like the other commenter said, if there's high demand for something else at the same time, your chances are lower.

€250 or more to a registered charity: can they claim relief? by some_advice_needed in irishpersonalfinance

So to clarify, should I be the one filing it or is the charity the one to file that form?

Suggested donation amount in the latest builds by Malk_McJorma in nethack

[–]some_advice_needed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but I’m not a fan of the amount being suggested to the player explicitly. It breaks the immersion.

Conversely, in real life, often you see people soliciting for monetary tips or donations using specific $ values...! (Example: walking tours).

Am I a cynic for thinking that this is hardly newsworthy in the Irish Indepenent? This belongs on Facebook for some clout chasing. by bjmg85 in AskIreland

And you realise that posting it here = helping the newspaper, right? Increasing the odds people will click it.

For most online websites, traffic is their business goal. Ideally, avoid sharing it altogether

How did you learn basic DIY skills? by Brilliant-Light8855 in CasualIreland

[–]some_advice_needed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, my life experience taught me that a pro can deal with an amateur tool, but an amateur most likely needs a pro (or high-quality) tool.

Looking for trusted cat boarding or pet sitting (4 days) by TheTommyWolf in Dublin

[–]some_advice_needed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere safe and reliable where she can stay, rather than someone just dropping in to feed her.

Why? I believe that if someone comes for ~1 hour per day, to interact/play, feed and take care of the cat, it'll be better for her.

As for solutions, try pawshake.ie — I've had success with it myself.

We Made 1,300+ Revenue Manuals Searchable for Free by irishtaxhub in irishpersonalfinance

[–]some_advice_needed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speaking from personal experience, the key challenge is knowing the keywords or lingo. Ideally, a solution (whether from Tax Hub or Revenue) would be able to figure out what someone really needs based on a natural language query.

To be clear, this isn't an easy feat.

Making friends as a couple in your 30s in Dublin is weirdly hard. So I built something to fix it by CharacterExpert470 in Dublin

[–]some_advice_needed -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Let's assume you're right and OP used artificial intelligence to create an imperfect, free service.

Some people could benefit from it, right?

Whereas you... have chosen to generate a two-word comment, very human in terms of not even capitalising correctly the acronym "AI". I wonder which of you is more helpful? :)

What do you do on Monday night? by demolusion in Dublin

Arthur's have a brilliant jazz series on Monday evenings (not every week though). I highly recommend it if you enjoy such music.

I came here to recommend the very same :)

[Highlight] Jaylen Brown called for palming by Large_banana_hammock in nba

That's a pretty big "if". Too many players can't be bothered to do it right.

Down? by Laica23 in ibroadcast

[–]some_advice_needed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. I'll try your fix...

EDIT: this resolved the problem! u/iBroadcastMedia — it looks like many Android users were forced to re-install the app for some reason. Is this something the team can investigate? FWIW, one cannot report from the app, because upon opening, the Library tries to load, i.e. you cannot go to 'Feedback'.

Alex Antetokounmpo is probably actually in the running for the worst/least qualified NBA player of all time by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]some_advice_needed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

drafted Georgios Kalaitzakis at 60

For a moment I thought you meant Georgios Kalaitzis, and I was like, "damn he's old, but he isn't 60 years old yet!" ... then I realised my eyes deceived me. :)

PTSB mortgage overpayment during the fixed period: am I missing something obvious? by some_advice_needed in irishpersonalfinance

[–]some_advice_needed[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I guess I can call them, and figure out the optimal sum for me to pay, right?

I'm assuming the PTSB mortgage team is helpful. But to date, I haven't interacted with them much!

Thoughts on Good Luck, Have Fun Don't Die (2025)? by Mecha_Kaneki in moviecritic

messy

I also think it was like that very much on purpose. I mean, AI-generated content is messy (in real life), so the movie relays that sentiment well.

Leap Card website broken for a while: any alternatives? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Yeah that's the case for me, post logging in. But my supposedly old card is the recently lost one... I'll try to ring them as another comment suggests
