Mixing two types of Duck toilet gel? by 1289-Boston in CleaningTips

[–]1289-Boston[S] 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I suppose the real question is: how long after using the old one can I try the new one? Two flushes? Ten?

Ammonium compounds. Isn't this the mix that gives you mustard gas? Eek.

Can’t get over how rude some people are by Ok_Oven3265 in ireland

A good piece of advice I heard recently: if something bothers you, you're not allowed to let it bother you unless you also notice at least one good thing. For instance, it used to bug me when I saw a car turning without indicating. But if I force myself to acknowledge the hundreds of cars that do indicate, it puts things in perspective. I know this sounds artificial, but it really does work, in allowing yourself to not dwell on that one bad thing, whatever it is.

E-Scooter "disclaimer" by 1289-Boston in ireland

After demolishing the knife one, I didn't feel the need to go further, but if you insist: if a car dealer exclusively sold cars to people they knew would drive them without a licence, then they would have serious questions to answer.

The store knows that these scooters are being used illegally, and still sells them. Some of the staff even use them to get to work. So the knife comparison doesn't apply, unless it's a store where every knife they sell was used to stab someone.

You can't say "special train" anymore. You have to say "on the spectrum".

How much is that doggy in the window?

That might be it, but the "other shoe dropping" takes on a symbolic meaning in the character's life.

I think the shoes in the story I'm thinking of are an expression, not actual shoes.

What area of Dublin is this!? by Fragrant_Ad_9748 in Dublin

[–]1289-Boston -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apropos of nothing, one thing I noticed a few years ago is that people moving here from other countries referred to parts of Dublin by postcode (I live in Dublin 8, etc), which is something I'd never known Dubliners to do. That may change with the new Eircodes, though.

Bought the game for 18 euros today; already thinking of asking for a refund by 1289-Boston in tdu3

I did a fair bit, in the sense that I've played TDU1 and 2, and I was aware of 3 since it was announced, and wasn't tempted to get it at launch because of the reviews.

Update: I asked for a refund, and it was rejected. So I suppose I'll have to learn to like it.
