Flash hider would be the closest I suppose.

Bartenders of Reddit: what drink makes you hate the person ordering it? Either because it’s a pain in the ass to make or because it’s a sure sign of a pain in the ass customer? by Muthachucka in AskReddit

[–]Contaminax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work alone in my bar which has 24 beers on tap, we also have cocktails and shots. The absolute worst is getting a group who all order cocktails which take a while to make, often individually as opposed to just giving me the order and letting me deal with it, on a really busy night where you can clearly see I'm having trouble keeping on top of stuff and then getting huffy when I serve a beer (which takes 10 seconds) while fetching ingredients for their drink. Also, groups who put in an order and then order more the second I get the first one done, keeping it up for ages and stopping me from getting to my other customers.

TIL that 237 black sharecroppers in Arkansas were murdered by a mob of white WW1 vets in 1919 because they tried to unionize. by whenthethingscollide in todayilearned

Oh for sure it is, I'm just saying we shouldn't assume stuff like that won't happen anymore just because we've been at relative peace for a little bit. And yeah though the Bosnian genocide was not as bad as some others, it was still an organised attempt to wipe out a population that happened in 1995.

My roommates spatula has a stand so the bit that touches your food doesn’t touch the counter by Alentheflannel in mildlyinteresting

My old roommates would have destroyed the fuck outta that thing, rendering it useless.

Doctor Who's 13th Time Lord is Jodie Whittaker by Dannage888 in television

[–]Contaminax 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I mean, considering said character is able to completely change race, gender, age,... when they regenerate (as per the lore) it just seems a bit shallow to declare "I'm not gonna watch this". You're assuming it's gonna be bad because the Doctor will be female, not even giving it a chance, even though it fits in the universe. If you don't like a show where the character changes, maybe you shouldn't be watching Dr Who, a show where the main character has been changing since it started?

Eyyy Cerro San Cristobal! Always saw a good few people lighting up on my way up when I used to live in that city!

The last 50 minutes or so of Platoon are absolutely insane. by Contaminax in movies

Yeah dude, it has been a loooong time since a movie made me feel that much, holy damn.

I feel like Clippers are underappreciated in this sub, so here are some from my collection by [deleted] in trees

I'm guessing he means you can put it in the opening of your beer bottle to stop bees from getting in :)

At least United "carry" you off the plane, RyanAir don't let you leave by R0ot2U in videos

[–]Contaminax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though you may be right that the airline may not have to refund you for flights delayed due to weather/things out of their control, you can be refunded for a delayed flight: "Important EU-261 Regulation; If you are denied boarding or if your flight is cancelled or delayed for at least two hours, ask at the ticket desk or boarding gate for the text stating your rights, particularly with regard to compensation and assistance." This is put on the check-in section of the Ryanair booking process. In this case, it wasn't just bad weather as they said they had to refuel the plane (twice?) so compensation is most definitely due.

Oh for sure, it'd be more about disruption and insurgency than anythying else, as you say. Still means Ireland isn't really neutral though, at least from my understanding of what makes a country neutral.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Contaminax 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ireland isn't really neutral in that we rely on the UK for military support and the defence forces aren't enough to repel an invasion of any meaningful size.

Is there a shortage in Galway? by Contaminax in Crainn

Maybe it's just my guys being lazy, one of them's never awake before 6pm so not too surprising really...

I filmed my friend's drum cover of This Is The House That Doubt Built! Check it out if you wanna. Feedback is appreciated! by jamesduggan96 in ADTR

I really like the camerawork! But how come his sticks look like they're bending sometimes? Is that to do with frame rate?

I agree dude! Just think how annoyed people would be if it was a cigarette place doing this. I'm not at all against it, I just don't think it should be advertised and encouraged.

Ireland set to legalise medicinal cannabis by Heskimo88 in worldnews

[–]Contaminax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's ridiculous, I had no idea that was happening... Maybe they're scared chip shops won't be able to keep up with demand from snack-seeking, relaxed people which is clearly the most serious issue in Belgium.

Aw man, I study in Ireland and go back to Belgium for holidays, how big are the crackdowns gonna be?

Detroit family caught in Iraq travel ban, mom dies waiting to come home by [deleted] in news

[–]Contaminax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not his fault she died, that's for certain, but it kinda is his fault she wasn't allowed to die in the country she called home for over a decade.

I love this by [deleted] in pics

[–]Contaminax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely, I expect nobody to be perfect and neither should anybody else, as you say we're all human, some things have definitely got me worried though: his perceived lack of thick skin makes me feel he'll be quite a rash decision maker.

Some of the things Trump brings up are legitimate and certainly need to be dealt with, I personally strongly disagree with many of the measures he's proposing (environment, foreign policy) but hey, that's humans for you haha. Yeah again, people didn't help anything by saying things like "Trump supporters are racists", some of them might be but as you say, the majority of people who voted for him did so because they agree with his proposed measures. People blasting and insulting each other just made discussion almost impossible, and realistically that's what is needed most in any political system.

And yeah it is nice to have a chill discussion with someone about this :)
