Mount Congreve Gardens or Lismore Castle Gardens? (Co. Waterford)

I have one extra day of wiggle room in my Ireland trip this June/July. If you had to choose between Mount Congreve Gardens or Lismore Castle Gardens (both in Co. Waterford), which do you prefer and why? It's so hard to tell from photos online if one is preferable over the other.

WTF is Shop and how do I get it to leave me alone

Apparently, inadvertently, through the mere act of purchasing something online, Shop - 'powered by Shopify, whatever the hell that means - now has my email address. The most recent email I received stated in tiny, gray text at the bottom 'You are receiving this email because you signed up for Shop including Shop Pay.' Oh friend, I absolutely did not; I've never heard of you until you started emailing me. Perhaps, in your dark pattern, sadistic, API whatever agreement you have with a business, you automatically checked a box on my behalf, forcing an opt-out instead of a voluntary opt-in to your services.

It is impossible to unsubscribe from their emails. Some emails gaslight me with a link to unsubscribe, but weeks later I am still receiving generic emails from them. Other emails don't even offer and unsubscribe link and have the disclaimer 'Note: This email is not monitored for replies.' Well, WTF is this service and how do I delete my information from their system? I don't even have an account with them and all their 'help center' advice says to use the Shop App - which I don't have - to report suspicious activity.

Please, help me. I get emails, every day. EVERY. DAY. E.V.E.R.Y. D.A.Y.

Parking at Carlow Castle?

Hello all, I'll be visiting from the US in June. We will be briefly stopping at Carlow Castle and I'm trying to figure out the parking options. In Google Maps I see some parking spaces on the west side, but I don't see signs that say if these are public or private. And if public, how do I pay? I do not see any 'Pay and Display' machines. I am totally new to driving in Ireland so I don't know the system/options for payment. Thanks for your help!

In IOS 18, when you were actively in an email, it would show the title of the email at the top of the screen. Now, with all the glassy BS, it's a "fullscreen" email with no title at the top. Is there any way to turn the title info back on in IOS 26?

I backed up my iPhone (was on IOS 18) because I needed to use an Apple Watch with ECG to monitor my heart for a few days. Didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to restore from my backup with the older IOS once I was done with the monitoring. Now I am stuck with this POS design language that is glitchy AF and looks like an app for toddlers. Tasks that used to take one tap now take three taps - literally three times as much effort! God fucking damn it I am so annoyed - and as it turns out, the ECG app couldn't monitor me accurately anyway.
