we are looking to get the xplora xgo3 for our kid to see where they are and more importantly call them when they are supposed to come back home.

i believe it comes preinstalled with their own app, but thats supposed to be used with their own subscription plan. i am wondering if i could pop in a sim card myself thats on a prepaid basis?

as in, are there any minor performance enhancing tunings one can do that doesn't need to be reported to the insurance?

chip tunings are available everywhere, but they have to be reported i believe.

now to be clear, I'm not racing. I'm talking about doing things to my 2019 1l petrol kia ceed. i really want the car to have a bit more torque as it's really slow off the line. i don't care about speed, i just want to be quicker off the red light and have more torque in the first 3 gears. i have to rev the car a lot be accelerate nicely.

and if chip tunings are the only way: are they effective? would they raise my insurance premium?

so we are having out bathtub removed next week to have a shower installed. we are booked with a company to do that, but they dont do tiling.

so for a couple days now i am writing companies and independent guys if they are available next week or the week after, but i couldnt find a single person who would even come around to have a look? they either havent replied yet or if i managed to talk to them, they tell me they are booked until the end of november...!?

whats going on, honestly?

we are in east cork/midleton... would anyone know someone who is available on a short notice? the work itself isnt too much i reckon - basically only tiling of the floor and wall that were covered by the bath

so you guys definitely have seen this, yes?

but i am checking for every day for almost a week now, but the entering form that (i assume) should load to sign up just doesnt load? tried at my work pc in the office, at my work pc at home and at my own pc at home. i tried through vpn from other countries, nothing. the form just wont load.

whats going on?

so i turn the key and an the lights on the dashboard turn on, as usual

radio can turn on too

but when i turn the key into the on position, the lights in the dashboard turn off and nothing happens.. not even a single crank

i did wash the windows yesterday, but looking under the hood there is no residual water left, it's really hot here these days

I'm not a mechanic by any means, but i can do a thing or two myself, so is there anything easy i could try?

last time when the car wouldn't turn on (but it would crank) replacing the horn fuse fixed it for some reason...???

so i bought two of them today and want to install them tomorrow

but i am confused, check this out, these are the things that came in the bag (and screws and a blank cover)

and i guess this how it would when the keystone is put into its faceplate, from the back:

two questions: what do i do with the zip tie? i dont see how i could attach the cable to is to that its secured to the keystone or faceplate.

also, what does that tab thingy at the top of the keystone do?

(dont say i have to wrap the zip tie around the cable and tab together...?)

i want to change my telephone sockets to ethernet, as they have cat5e cables inside.

is screwfix my only choice? are there shops in the cork city to midleton area where i can find these?

i was looking at this from screwfix:

https://www.screwfix.ie/p/philex-cat-6-1-port-rj45-ethernet-socket-white/78961

does anyone happen to know if i need a punchdown tool for this or if this box is toolless? since there is a cupboard in front of the actual wall where the wires are coming out, i wouldnt even use the box, i would just screw the faceplate to the cupboard once its (hopefully correctly) connected to the ethernet keystone...

if there is a more specific irish subreddit more suited for this topi

i'm working in ireland for a long time now.

recently my wife started working, its considered part time.

now my wife was talking to her colleagues at work - they all have about a total weekly gross pay of 430 or so. their discussion was about the take-home pay. some only get 190 on their account, a few get almost 400. my wife gets a take-home pay of 270.

how come? one of her colleagues told her to check revenue for tax credits etc.

checking my own tax credits, i have a home carer tax credit at 1950, personal tax credit at 4000 and an employee tax credit at 2000.

when i check the credits section on myaccount, it doesnt look like i would qualify for any other credit. as in, i dont have a g

i killed so far, in this order: cleric beast, gascoigne and blood starved beast

i just looked up what order others kill bosses, and usually it seems that people do vicar amelia or the witches after gascoigne

is there a meaningful difference in what order i kill the bosses?

i have a hard time finding a decent desktop with the measurements that fit my room nicely

​

I'm looking for a game to about 160cm with, but only 60cm deep. also i would like to install my monitor on a monitor arm. most table tops available to buy are particleboard, and I'm not sure if that's good enough?

​

what kind of material would work nicely and be sturdy enough? is there a place i could get a table top cut to size and treated etc?

​

i was thinking of possibly getting a separate drawer for one side and legs to install on the opposite side and center or something like that...

i experience what i call vision artifacts, and I'm wondering if others have this too?

when it happens, which is quite rare, i get some kind of crescent shaped "blindspot" in my vision. it's always in the same location, no matter where i look. it's like it moves with my vision. it looks of like like a kaleidoscope, it's colourful and seems to be flashing in colours. i also have a weird feeling when all this is happening.

whatever is behind that shape disappears for me. it usually starts small more towards the center of my vision, but the crescent shape grows until it grows out of my vision, and then it's gone. usually, after it's gone, i have some headaches in the front of my head, sharp an

this startet happening recently. playing this game for over a year now on pc, always on bluetooth with my vanilla xbox series controller. i'm playing through epic.

but recently, as in the last 3 or 4 weeks or so, a problem started where the games frametime will go to crap as long as i'm on bluetooth. there will be regular stutters happening making the game almost unplayable. the game itself runs fine at 144fps.

as soon as i plug the controller in with a cable, the stutters go away completely, only to return after a couple minutes. this is the only game that shows this behaviour.

is this a known issue with an update or so? i updated intel drivers for my wifi 6e/bluetooth 5.2 card, but that

someone i know applied for a production associate role at Alcon.

the next step is an aptitude test.

does anyone know what that is exactly? what to expect for that? it will be conducted virtually on zoom.

ok so, we have a trip coming up to dublin soon. family with 2 kids, 12 and 9.

we have done loads of things in and around dublin.

now we are wondering if there are other outdoor activities we could do on the way to or from dublin? like small mountain hikes or other outside activities. we recently were at killarney national park and took a short trip to strickeen mountain which we all loved. didnt go all the way up due to time, but it didnt seem too difficult. are there similar little mountains we could stop at and have a little easy casual hike? or other trails we could walk through nature? optimally with toilets somewhere, just in case.
