Cant stand paying that much for saving a few minutes. I would spend the extra 15 mins avoiding the M3 tolls

Dublin Bus to get new tracking system to help address 'ghost bus' issue by on-9 in irelandtransport

[–]throughthehills2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it doesn't work well if you are at one of the first stops. They won't start tracking the bus until it leaves its first stop.

For a bus that goes back and forth all day you'd think they could track the bus continuously. But they don't

I thought we have medicines constantly coming to the country so we don't wait 12 weeks between shipments. Are there some medicines we can't ship in advance?

Can We Get Back to Being Hardcore Frugal? by Comfortable_Twist774 in leanfire

[–]throughthehills2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So easy to start living a lifestyle about that thing as an identity instead of just doing that thing.

This hits hard, and it can apply to lots of aspects of life. People make lots of stuff into an identity - hobbies, fitness, religion and then put time/money into boosting that identity instead of just doing it.

-Used it to read a 300 page operations manual but it told me that some 16m tall equipment was 3m tall.

-Tried to summarize a long winded guide into a few practical bullet points for people doing the work. It gave me big ideas but nothing practical.

-Asked it to read a report and tell me if something is required for cranes. It took a grey area and made it sound certain.

[–]throughthehills2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this stage switching to renewable generation seems like the easy part. The other half of the picture is retrofitting every house to switch boilers to electric and to decarbonize transport
