Dear @IrishRail why on gods green earth is it so hard to determine which platform a train is departing from?

[Aidan Breen @aidanbreen]

@Claire58546398 @SeamusjKearney @IrishRail You say that as if it’s not incredibly easy to simply do the right thing. Fecking chancers getting caught out.

@Caitmaxine For somebody to have a mortgage on one of these homes, they would need to have home insurance. Now, what underwriter in their right mind is going to insure a house built in this are? How does that work?

[Aidan Breen @aidanbreen]

An hour evaluating the options, 3 mins writing the code, a year before we really understand if we made the right choice.

This is the most pants-on-head engagement bait shit I’ve read all week. And yet here I am quoting it.

Why is it perfectly OK in sports to have team members spending some time on a bench, but it's not OK in software development to have team members spending some time on a bench?

#wingfoil diary. #8 @ LRYC - making real ground upwind now. Getting back downwind turns out to be sketchy af as the wing backwinds in the lulls. Big shoutout to the folks who tell me they’ve read these logs. Thanks for not interacting, helps to keep me grounded. 👻

@waterspeedapp has the new iPhone update removed the ability to set/download wind speed ?

[Aidan Breen @aidanbreen]

#wingfoil diary. #7 @ LRYC - new top speed of 16.1kts immediately followed by rapid unplanned deceleration. 🤕😅 steady breeze makes everything 100x easier. Faster and steadier standing up and getting on foil. Need to practice gybes on grass. No real progress there.

[Aidan Breen @aidanbreen]

@BanjoGuyOllie Awesome dude! Where is this? I'm learning in Athlone at the moment.

#wingfoil diary. #6 @ LRYC -Tried @waterspeedapp 👍! Don't have a fancy watch, just stuck my phone in my wetsuit sleeve. Fcast 12/17kts. Lulls of ~0 otw. Huge progress. Controlled foil on both tacks. Next up: Gybes. Dying for an opportunity to bear off downwind for a bit.

Flexibility: Locations you can launch and recover from. Conditions you can go out in.

Storage: How much space does the equipment take up in your shed/van. Less is better.

#wingfoil diary. Session 5 @ LRYC - Hi GM 👋! It's all coming together now! Good long controlled flights on port. Stbd wobbly but getting there! Kept upwind and recovered from launch spot 🎉 Fcast 18/30kts. 5/20 otw. Getting better at managing lulls and gusts. Balance++. Stoked😎

[Aidan Breen @aidanbreen]

#wingfoil diary. Session 4 @ LRYC - Flew for a good stretch on port, what a buzz! Stbd tack not so strong or balanced. Still at the high-effort-low-reward stage but great progress. fcast of 15-20kts. <10/20 on the water. Super gusty.
