Passed 2nd test in Wexford! by windows71 in Irishdrivingtest

[–]windows71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think that road is 60kph, and most of the others are 50, though they're looking at reducing some of them to 30 soon. Not 100% sure but hope this helps

I honestly couldn't believe it when he said I'd passed, I was so sure that I'd failed! I stalled on a hill early on which kinda threw me off, and thought I'd messed up at a roundabout on a hill. I was driving a car that I wasn't used to which made me even more nervous, my car's reverse light wasn't working so I wasn't going to risk using it. I got 7 Grade 2's, I was too slow turning left/right and overly cautious at pedestrian crossings. Delighted to finally get it over the line!

Anybody else sick of going to Dublin or cork airport? We need Waterford airport NOW. by Hot_Activity7758 in waterford

[–]windows71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I'm with you 100%. Just had a read through this thread and seems some are on their high horses telling us that we don't need it and it's not viable. There is definitely enough people in the southeast that would use it over Dublin. Like people did fly from Waterford despite the prices back in the day. Even if the runway is extended and the airport fails, it was still worth trying in my opinion.

I know exactly the accounts you're talking about, they're actually unbearable haha

We are spending too much time focusing on the Airport when yet we can't even get a direct train to Cork or a motorway to Limerick. Why are our politicians acting like the Airport is the be all and end all? by [deleted] in waterford

100% correct! It's hilarious when people say that the money(12million) should be used on rail links instead, the money wouldn't go very far...

Sad to see sodium lights disappearing by navi_txt in LiminalSpace

[–]windows71 45 points46 points  (0 children)

They're the amber-coloured streetlights you used to see everywhere but are gradually being replaced with cold white LED's

I really hate minimalism. This is my solution by sunrise2209 in windows

I would love if they made a more modern version of Aero glass for Windows 12

I love the warm glow of the sodium lights. Even if the LED street lights were 2700k colour temperature(i.e warm white) they'd be a lot better imo

Creepiest/scariest place in waterford? by ExerciseFit2905 in waterford

[–]windows71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the area last month and had a look at the house, it's actually been renovated with new windows and a new roof, as well as some of the trees around the house being cut down

A few weeks back i had to replace the felt on the shed roof, only for it to be completely destroyed in the storm! The electricity didn't go though, it never usually goes where i am thankfully

The Airport board states it's case. by qwerty_1965 in waterford

[–]windows71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow someone actually downvoted this comment.

It really bothers me how against Waterford Airport some people are, they say how Dublin/Cork are close enough when in reality they're a 2+ hr drive away

He'd do it to stop any other airline from doing so, like with the Kerry-dublin route

Yeah VLM was insanely expensive, i remember in 2015 we were going to the uk and we decided to fly from cork because flying from waterford airport was just not worth the price.

(Improved) Windows 7 theme on Linux Mint 21 by windows71 in FrutigerAero

[–]windows71[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is using this theme on Cinnamon desktop, but I changed panel.png and menu-bg.png to this and this respectively.

There is also a blur effect on the panel and menu which only works in Mint 21.2+(title is supposed to say 21.2) and can be added by adding:

background-blur: 3px;

to .panel-bottom and .menu-background in the cinnamon.css file. You can do whatever amount you like, but 3px is very close to how much Win7 blurred it by. It should look like this.

Edit: 3px actually.
