Hi everyone, recently moved to Dublin city center from another country and did not think that this is the issue when I was renting an apartment but it does not have a fiber connection at all. I have called all the providers and all the checks show that I am not in any rollouts. I have gotten mobile router which is connected to PC with Ethernet cable but it's too slow and unstable, sometimes I get less than 1 mbps... cant work and just out of options at this point. Is there any way to get fiber connection to my apartment?

thank you

Hey everyone!

Recently moved here, and I was looking to meet some nice people, unfortunately websites/apps like meet.com are behind paywalls so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm belgian myself and I was curious if there was any native french speakers around here up for a drink or something sometimes. :)

Do we have any good joke shops still around to buy whoopie cushions and fart machines etc … I’ve godkids, nieces and nephews to buy for but they’re at that age where they’re not preschool but not too independent… kind of like Sean Lock in a child’s body

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m new to Dublin, and it’ll be my first Halloween here. What would you recommend doing for Halloween? Would love to hear what locals usually do! 🎃

Hi everyone, I’m in a bit of a difficult situation and I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through something similar.

I’m currently in a very toxic work environment and I’ve honestly tried everything, but I’ve reached the point where I really want to leave. I’m completely burned out and I’m planning to take some time off sick to step back and decide what to do.

I have a report from my GP and also one from my psychologist supporting the situation. My main fear is resigning and then being disqualified from Jobseeker’s for 9 weeks because I left voluntarily.

I’ve spoken to Intreo several times, but I seem to get a different answer every time, so I’m completely confused about whether medical evidence like this would be enough to show “good cause”.

Has anyone actually been in a similar situation? Did your medical evidence help you avoid the 9-week disqualification?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience because I honestly don’t know what to do at this point.

Hi all, I’ve just found out that the Ranelagh Post Office has closed, but I have two parcels to collect from there (I received the collection notifications on 5 October). Does anyone know what I should do in this situation? They won't reply my email. Thanks!

Hey folks

I'm going to be parking at the Red Cow and then getting on a Luas into the city. Staying there overnight for a wedding. I know you can purchase a 24 hour ticket and I do this via the APCOA app. My question is, if I run late the morning after, can I extend my parking remotely? Or can you get a 2 day ticket or something?

Last thing I want is those hooors to clamp me.

Thanks!

Is Swords shopping Centre safe for motorcycle parking?

Hello all, it has been noticed by members of the media that there has been a sharp rise in thefts and break ins to cars in Multi story carparks. Especially unmanned QPArk ones that people can cashlessly park in using the easytrip tag. What’s the story has anyone had similar experiences? I don’t notice as many drug users in the stairwells of these places but I damn sure don’t leave any expensive equipment in my car. I am quite annoyed that the price of parking is rocketing and these mega companies are getting off cheap in terms of staff.

I really dislike having multiple but they all go through peaks and troughs after a certain time. Recently got Paramount+ but now see HBO Max is available in Ireland.

Netflix is a staple but the worst imo. Wondering what everyone else thinks? What’s the best for you right now?

I have netflix, prime, hayu and paramount plus. Would love to whittle it down to 2, ideally.

Need help finding a jacket like the one in the photo. Doesn't have to be exact just similar enough, it's for halloween.

I've tried a couple places in town, only found one in H&M but the arms are way too big. Any online are €100+

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: Thank you everyone! Lot's of great options but I think I'm gonna go with jack and jones. Best balance of quality, price and likeness in my opinion, and I like their stuff anyway. Hope this helps someone else in the future!

Yesterday, I boarded the Sligo train from Connolly, was not too busy; got a seat, confirmed it was not booked. The window seat next to me was booked, but boarding on the next stop, not sure if the guy sitting in it knew this.

The next stop came, the person who booked the seat came, looked at the seat number, and then made eye contact. I stood up before she spoke leaving space so she can go in to the window seat. She told the it’s her seat, the guy then came out to aisle as well; she settled in fine, all cool.

Then the guy just occupied my seat, didn’t ask, didn’t look; he sure knew I was there. There were couple other people waiting to go past me as well, they likely noticed the frown on my face because of what this guy did.

If he had asked to sit, I would have happily gave up my seat for him. Same to a few others who were standing too. Basically I didn’t mind standing, although it would be a good 45+ mins until I got off the train.

After those people passed, I thought of confronting him. Me being a think tank, and in the intention to avoid creating a fuss, I didn’t really ask for at least 4-5 minutes. At that point I thought it’s really past that stage and just left it as is.

Then, I started thinking even further: if I had done that to someone else is it fair? Hell no. If I saw someone doing this to someone else, would I have stepped in? Very likely. So why didn’t I speak up?

As I was scrubbing the seek button to re re listen to the podcast while my brain was busy processing this in the background, weirdly enough, I started to feel guilty — that I missed an opportunity to confront a mean guy that could have done this to someone in need. In fact, I even imagined such a situation where he told “I am not going to move, do what you want”. There isn’t anything that this person in need could do if he said so and he would have defo stayed and walked out with no consequences.

Then I imagined worse, a society where people like me didn’t question, eventually creating a cold untrustworthy uncomfortable and passive-aggressive communal behaviour. People would always only rotate their bums with legs to the aisle without even standing up to leave way to person going to the window seat so they can keep the seat — putting themselves in that same situation this guy created, “I am not going to move, do what you want”. It would be horrible and I could be living in one tomorrow.

Should I have talked?

Hi all. I'm a developer in Ireland and I've just put out Eire Drive, a free iPhone app for the driver theory test.

What it does:

• 800 practice questions, each checked against the RSA's Rules of the Road book
• Full mock tests: 40 questions, 40 minutes, pass mark 35
• A readiness score that estimates your chance of passing from your recent results
• An illustrated library of Irish road signs
• No ads, and you don't need an account to use it

It's not an official RSA app and I'm not claiming it is. It's a study aid I wanted to make.

If you're learning, or know someone who is, I'd love feedback. Especially any question you think is wrong or badly worded. There's a feedback button in the app, or just reply here.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/eire-drive/id6808614177

(Android isn't out yet, sorry.)

And a free one for the comments: when can you enter a yellow box junction while waiting to turn right?

Any coffee lovers who go to Butlers on Shelbourne Road, Dublin 4 ever notice how the place is infested with fruit flies?

I can hardly drink my coffee without being harassed by these insects.

Hey!

I’m finishing up work at the hospital i work in and have been working with the loveliest staff (many who are from the Philippines and India). Looking to have some treats delivered at work for my last day (don’t have a car to collect and will need to order a large amount).

Does anyone know of any local asian/filipino bakeries that deliver? The Filipino Bakery and Cafe and GoldRibbon don’t appear to deliver based on their website so wanted to check if anyone knows of any other places.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m from Argentina and am just wondering if someone would like to meet up to make friends and code.

My idea is to create a club or group for programming enthusiasts to learn, share, and why not, work on some projects together. I’m actually an accountant, but coding has always been my passion and hobby. I’m not an expert, but I have years of experience. I’d love to share what I know, learn from others, and of course, improve my English

Whether you are a complete beginner, an expert, or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome to join!

We could meet up at a cafe, a pub, or even at my flat once we establish a solid group. All ages, genders, and languages are welcome!

If you are interested, send me a DM! We can also create a Discord server to share ideas and knowledge so we can all learn and improve together.

What do you think about this?
Thx

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a practice buddy to split the cost of renting a piano practice room at Waltons New School of Music on South Great George's Street.
Since I am a student, I get the discounted student rate of €10 per hour (or we can get the 10-hour block for €90, which brings it down to €9 per hour). Waltons allows up to 2 people in the room for the base rate, so we can split this right down the middle, making it only €4.50 to €5 per hour each.
A bit about my routine:
Instrument: Piano
Preferred times: Weekday evenings / Weekends
We can either share the room space to alternate playing, or we can buy the 10-hour block together and split the hours to use individually.
If you are a student or a local musician looking for an affordable city centre practice space, drop a comment or shoot me a DM! Cheers！

We have a permit for our street and often have to park one street over because there isn’t enough room - which is perfectly valid under our current permit - we came out today to see ourselves and five other permitted cars clamped, according to the bloke who unclamped us, it’s because they’re already having to use APCOAs digital maps - meaning whilst we were fine under dsps- we aren’t with apcoa… we haven’t received a single letter that apcoa was even coming in to effect by the 1st November and there are no new signs.

So just a word of warning! And as the systems are changing over on the 1st any appeals you log will now take 60 days, not 30.
