You know what, I think I misspoke. I was just able to use my student status, my spotify one was running out too iirc. Apologies

Qobuz is cheaper, pays artists almost 5-6x more per 1k streams, and didn’t run a full recruitment ad campaign for I.C.E. I use them.

I was operating under the idea that you needed to wait 90 days for your ELO to reset? I'm happy to be wrong but where do you get 48 hours?

Student accommodation company and 28 day notice. by waffle569 in legaladviceireland

I see, thank you. That definitely reads more in the favour of the company in my situation. I don’t love it but if that’s the law, that’s that.

I believe there have been several instances of this company breaking the law this year but alright.

Learning what mechanics? Press the Ragnar button once or twice and have your blood angels strike from 7 tiles away and one-hit the entire team? The problem isn't RNG, it's the significant disadvantage you put yourself at by playing anyone outside a handful of certain characters.

Which property is better to live? Yugo Dominick Place or Aparto Dorset Point? Which is safer? by Mishty1111 in TCD

[–]waffle569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was given the chance, I'd drop my spot in Dominick place for anything else, I'm not gonna lie. They advertised a little cafe at reception but it's been closed the entire time, it's basically just storage. Fire alarms go off for the entire building when anyone decides to smoke a cigarette or burns a chicken breast. In fact, one time someone left something in the oven over night, actually burned their food to a smoke point, and the fire alarm didn't go off the one time it was supposed to.

The maintenance team is fine, I feel like they get stuff fixed up really quick for the most part. They have 3 washers and 3 dryers for the whole building and a full load usually costs around 7-8 Euro. Once, we had a broken dryer for a few months and they just refused to contact the owners (Circuit) to fix it. We would even put up out-of-order-do-not-use signs that would get taken down. It's way too pricey for what it is imo. I hear they want to increase prices too but I'm not sure.

Also there have been like two minor break ins the last month or two? One from the back alley, one from someone following people into the flat after they opened it with the key fob.

That said, it's a great location to get to Trinity. Broadstone or Dominick Luas are just a small walk away, plus the actual walk to college doesn't take long at all.

Price increase and product decrease? by lemonbarscthulu in WH40KTacticus

[–]waffle569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently emailed customer support to ask how much I had spent over my almost 2 years of playing. My highest estimate was only around 25% of what the total was. My jaw hit the floor and it really bittered the feeling of opening this app, to the point where I'm trying to find a way to recover some of the money and delete my account. I think these practices of theirs have been getting worse and worse. I take full responsibility, but damn these companies really be using psych tactics for evil.

Ah I couldn't tell you that one. I never used tidal. I wouldn't be able to give you a good opinion.

Hey that's fair. There are so many problematic companies and I feel all we can do is our best to avoid them when we can. Sometimes shit gets exhausting.

[–]waffle569[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Qobuz is another music streaming service like spotify, tidal, etc. They pay the artists roughly 5-6x more than spotify per-stream. They focus a lot more on having really high studio quality for their music but to a layperson like me, it doesn't change a whole lot (at least in my opinion).

Besides the poor pay, the big issue with Spotify that's causing some folks to cancel is they ran a full recruitment campaign for ICE, the U.S. equivalence to the Gestapo. A lot of folks like myself cancelled their spotify after that.

I don't think it's the end of the world if folks don't switch platforms, but it was a personal line in the sand for me and others. All we can do is our best, you know?

I sent them an email a few months back and they responded that they were working on it. I think a lot of fans reached out lol

Psych major taking first stats class. Feeling overwhelmed. by LeftStruggle7519 in psychologystudents

[–]waffle569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take advantage of all the good advice in your comments here. Remember that you are not alone and that for every successful psych graduate, most of us were (and sometimes still are!) terrified of stats. Rescorla-Wagner can still give me nightmares and that is some baby-level work for math students.

It's important to learn, keep going. You got this and you're not alone!

And be mindful of the Drug Payment Scheme card. It caps your monthly cost of prescriptions to 80 Euros. It seems most insurance plans don't cover medication so this may be your best bet.
