  • Probably best to check the rules of your country if you receive benefits because of the disability. Disabled Dutch people for example get money from the government and are allowed to live elsewhere while keeping the monthly benefits although they do have some yearly requirements.

    I don’t know if something like this exists in Ireland or if you have those benefits, but if you do it is a good first start to look into






  • And yet not everyone can become a nuclear engineer or rocket scientist, programm architect, lawyer and so on, so your “experience can be taught, leadership has to be learned” falls apart pretty quickly.

    Leadership is not in anyway less then any other job that you can become an expert in. It is just focused on social sciences instead of engineering for example and both can be taught. It’s dumb to say that leadership is something special, its just that it is the more accessible of fields that have a high skill ceiling as it is present in pretty much every work environment.

    Tldr, I think your end point is dumb, but I do agree that people management is hard and is definitely a skill. The best leaders are experts in their own right and it is just a matter of contextualising leadership as a skill you can become an expert in.





  • I agree with you that oot is not open world. To me it has always felt as a hub world (Hyrule field) with all other levels connected as a kind of leggy appendix. To get anywhere you almost always have to go through hyrule field except if you use the warp portals in the lost woods, at which point the lost woods become a hub.

    I do get what other people a re saying that it felt a bit open world, especially for the time as areas quite quickly open up and allow you to have a sneak preview at what is to come.




  • It seems Nintendo is getting better about this though. During the later half of the switch 1s life their first party games have gone on sale for 33% off multiple times (botw, donkey Kong Country games, Mario Kart, xenoblade and more from what I have seen). It’s just that this is only the digital versions. Physical copies? Yeah, you’re right there.

    Games are still too expensive at full price though and even with 33% off it is still usually too much for me if I’m not already familiar with the franchise and know I will enjoy the game.


  • With enough mass a building can definitely maintain sub 25 degrees for at least a week given proper insulation and proper handeling of the situation by the occupants. The problem here is that most people have no clue how to handle heatwaves and open and close blinds/windows at wrong times.

    I live in a fairly standard 1980s European rental house and I can definitely keep it around 22 degrees when it’s 30+ outside for a week. No AC needed, just concrete construction and proper heat management.

    But in the end both your and my experience are anecdotal so not very useful as an argument. Important to note might also be that even if a house is brick on the outside it does not mean it is also brick on the inside. You need the brick/stone inside for good heat management! I have seen people make this mistake before and therefore they did not understand how to properly deal with heat in their homes.
