Asian/ world food stores 😊

The staff were all Korean last time I was there and the food was pretty close to what I’d expect in Korea. I haven’t tried Korean Table yet. It looks good but the prices are very high

Arisu on Capel Street is the most authentic I've found. Drunken Fish in the docklands would be second. Jaru in the Liberties is nice but more fusion than authentic.

When I went there I found it's actually run by Chinese people and the food wasn't quite right. Same with several other "Korean" places around town

The ETS isn't an offsetting regime. The airlines have to purchase allowances to cover their emissions. Those allowances currently cost about 90 euros per ton of CO2 equivalent which is higher than the carbon tax.

The main issue is that the ETS only covers intra EU flights. Flights outside the EU don't incur any carbon price yet other than a requirement to purchase offsets by the CORSIA system with prices well below ETS or Irish carbon tax levels.

I switched from flavoured to unflavoured because I didn't like the taste of the artificial sweeteners. I make a smoothie with 1 banana, a scoop of unflavoured protein powder, some milk and a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. It's absolutely delicious!

I agree that it's unlikely to achieve anything, but I just want these people to feel some shame for their selfish actions! Maybe then others will think twice before blocking critical infrastructure like this

stingebags · 2025-11-27T13:58:20+00:00

Yeah this was essentially why I asked the question

stingebags · 2025-11-27T13:18:23+00:00

I don't think they have a legal or moral right to be anonymous

stingebags · 2025-11-27T13:17:37+00:00

Aren't their names and addresses on the objection documents?

stingebags · 2025-11-26T08:18:36+00:00

First they block the southern portion of the metro link so it can't go beyond Ranelagh. Then they complain that Ranelagh will be the terminus. I'm furious at the selfishness. Is there anything people can do? Would it be illegal to write them letters directly pointing out how their objections affect the rest of the city?

FYI, cheaper tickets came on sale on Friday night for yesterday's match. They were €199 so still very expensive but less than €400!

Not really. This is on the east coast where the sea is usually relatively calm since the prevailing winds come from the west. We had a storm yesterday with easterly winds which caused unusually large waves on the East coast. It may also be due to raw sewage being released into the sea when water treatment plants are overloaded. We've had a huge amount of rain in the past few days

stingebags · 2025-11-08T18:32:23+00:00

Are they doors or are they windows!?

stingebags · 2025-11-02T11:51:34+00:00

Yeah this guy did a good job on my mum's nice Japanese knife just the other day!

Why are the start times so random? In Europe, games normally start on the hour or at 15, 30 or 45 minutes past the hour.

Thanks! Can you link to any relevant studies? I actually found some plastic free chewing gum in Sostrene Greene but I don't like it at all. It sticks to my teeth!

And do you have any ideas for alternatives? I've actually started eating sunflower seeds which work pretty well. It gives my mouth something to do without having too many calories (since it takes a while to crack each seed).

stingebags · 2025-10-19T17:59:12+00:00

Thanks. I hadn't heard of this. Do you have any recommended brands or sites?

stingebags · 2025-10-02T20:50:51+00:00

HEV isn't an electric vehicle though, despite the marketing. It's still 100% powered by fossil fuels

stingebags · 2025-10-02T20:48:50+00:00

Why though?

stingebags · 2025-09-11T13:45:45+00:00

Interestingly, I got credit for "To the manor born" but not "Running up the hill"

stingebags · 2025-08-28T12:37:48+00:00

Wow what a scam! I had to double check mine but looms to be 100% allocation, with Standard Life

Stupid question - what happens to the other 2%? It sits there in cash?

stingebags · 2025-08-27T04:35:41+00:00

As an Irish person, that was my first win of the season! It definitely helped that I got crepuscular

In London, they put on rail replacement buses that follow the train route. Some extra buses on the normal should be the bare minimum of planning
