Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 05/10/2026CMAT was right, Sheeran surrounded himself with people who gave him bad advice and are were just nodding to the money trail. Let’s not rock the boat. Krafts stadium is an empty stadium without the artist. 030
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I find that most modern conspiracy theories come with an evangelical mode and an attack mode. So it’s not just innocent belief they are encouraged to spread it and attack those who reject it. 130

Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Remember when ships were able to sail from Ukraine to feed the third world, in particular? Guess where the first ships turned up and it wasn’t to feed humans. 000
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Let’s say 350e a night. I would estimate that as 13 rooms per week. Doesn’t seem crazy if it’s across all services. 010
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Is the “hybrid” working arrangements three days dead and two alive of the other way around? Or is it a heaven and hell situation? 000
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I honestly believe it will be a terrible development for the city. It double downs on car domination of the public realm, you can imagine the half baked work on pavements. Probably some Airbnb style charging scheme will appear with everyone getting in on the act. 010
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A solution may be some sort of community owned public charging facilities that would have better rates. A downside to private wires is that public charging points may diminish. 000
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It!s a steal and I doubt if many pay the €400 high demand permit fee. But private wires EV charging will justify permit increases. 000
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Also assumes that parking permits stay at their ridiculously low cost. €400 is the most you pay at present in high demand areas. What if it went to 1k or 2k a year or more? 100
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I would agree with public hubs that could be situated off street or on suitable streets. I am in favour of EVs but not in favour of private wires which would effectively privatise public spaces. 010
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026If there is no street permits or P&D then a car could be left there indefinitely as long the owner says it is still in use. With street permits, holders can park anywhere on the street indefinitely. Even only temporarily if would prevent a person charging at that time. 100
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026But it is based on the idea that home charging would be cheaper than public charging which may not be the case in the future. At the end of the day it is a public street and the council may be use to do something else with it - pedestrianise it, bus lane. Cycle lane … 101
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Problem is that other people would be entitled to park there. Somebody could park there for weeks at at a time. 200
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I can’t see private wires happening. It would create a right to street space outside your house. Anyway it’s all relying on the status quo that household EV charging will remain cheap or cheaper compared with public charging. 100
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Funny, I thought the caddy solution wasn’t a bad one. We aren’t in D7 but do use bags. The push is coming from the collectors who prefer wheelie bins. 000
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I can never understand the “facility fee”. What is it? Have they not rented the hall already? 010
Brian D @brianedaly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Step in the right direction. AirPods and similar are an environment disaster. A product with a short life that contains three sealed batteries. 001
