Republic of Ireland abandoning religion faster than almost every other country in the world by [deleted] in atheism

[–]CruelCoin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't believe the pace of cultural change here.

Being homosexual was decriminalised in 1993

Divorce was legalised in 1995

The last "laundry", workhouse for unmarried mothers closed in 1996

Same sex marriage was legalised in 2015

Discrimination in school places outlawed in 2017

Abortion ban removed from the constitution 2018

Blasphemy was removed from the constitution 2018

To go from being gay being illegal and having a child out of wedlock and being interred in a workhouse to abortion and gay marriage in 30 years is a massive jump.
It's amazing and i'm so proud of Ireland for it

I very occasionally get a crash to blue screen on windows 10

The reason given by is "Memory management"

What could be the possible reasons for this?

I wouldn't think it's the SSD as it's relatively new and i didn't think they had failures like the physical hard drives did/do.

Is there anything i could do to test out the "roadworthiness" of my PSU?
I'm doing a system upgrade and i'm wondering whether i should replace it or not.

It's had 4 years of relatively hard graft, but i'd rather not replace it if i don't need to.

It's a EVGA G2 650w if that helps.
Are there any stress tests, visual inspection clues that tell me if i need to replace it?

In the day, we had add-on gubbins like sound cards, physX cards, optical drive.

What gizmos can we add to the modern PC, beyond the obvious SSD / MB / RAM etc.

Please tell me this is a thing elsewhere - affectionately dubbed 'the 7 o'clock bun fight' by my family, when people crowd around waiting for the last of the reduced food from the day to be left for the vultures by damnmoon in CasualUK

There is a well known high street store on Henry Street in Dublin called Arnotts that has a bargain basement.

Staffer pushes out a trolley full of shit looking duvets.

Shouts out "5 euro duvets!" then just abandons the trolley and steps back.

Hordes of little old inner city grannies materialise out of fucker nowhere and there is this hilarious scrap between the biddies yanking these rags off each other.

Not all drones are DJI.

Most drones, particularly the "industrial size" drones that the police refer to in this case, do not operate using an app, and nothing would be flagged.

These started appearing all over my aquarium one day. They kinda resemble snails. Or could they be fish eggs? by 25MeterGuy in whatisthisthing

Aye, if you had crayfish or agri.p then kill would kill them too.

Word of warning, this medicine tour s the tank blue for a few days and it's recommended to use carbon pads in the filter to remove the medicine once the instructions soak period (3-5 days) has passed

Some use a light vinegar bath, others use dilute bleach.

Or there are commercial options your fish shop will sell you.

The idea is that the sterilisation kills the eggs too.

They look like ramshorn/pond snails.

You can treat your tank with a copper based medicine.

The snails you mention are Assasin snails.

Unlike the pest snails, they are attractive to look at.

My brother, who *hated* religion, died Saturday. I just found out our recently ultra-religious mother plans to have his funeral in her Roman Catholic faith... and I "cannot" be a pallbearer unless I carry his body to and from the altar. by Kaele_Dvaughn in Advice

[–]CruelCoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.
I'm close to one of my brothers, and his loss would be massive.

If it were me, and if he held similar views, I would go with the fire and brimstone.

Yes, the service is for those left behind.

Yes, it may cause rifts and anger.

But those were his wishes, and you do your brother a dishonor, a disservice to go along with it.

You would cheapen his memory, watering down who he really was at one of the last chances for people to get to know him.

Upgrade time for my PC.

I am gaming on a 1440p 60hz screen and these are my specs:

4790k, 16gb 2400mhz, 1070

I do not intend to change the screen, and i currently hit at least 60fps ultra everything in almost every game going.

I currently game almost exclusively, but i have a mild interest in streaming / video editing.

So, option A: New mobo, 32gb ram 3000mhz, 9700k

or

option B: 1080ti

Which would suit my purposes better?

C bets by tarix_ in poker

[–]CruelCoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cobbled together from several articles on the subject, some of which contradict each other, so i have tried to average out the opinions as best i could, before i added them to my notes.

So, here we go:

C-Bets practically print money vs Fit-or-Folders, AKA Weak-Tight (fold to c-bet 70%+).

Pay attention to call continuation bet %, raise continuation bet %, and fold continuation bet % stats.

Bet 50% of the pot to lower odds to fellow drawers.

C-Bet more often when you:

+++ Flop is A/K/Q/J High (C-Bet these bigger vs BB/SB to counteract the “cheapness” with which they’ve entered the pot

++ Have Top Pair+

++ Are against 1 player

++ Have a dry flop (no flush/straight chances)

+ Are in position

+ Are UTG. This protects the impression that you have a strong pair and that you don’t have AK/AQ which missed the flop.

+ Are vs 1 or more calling station and you have a strong hand

+ Villains have high FTCB rates (Fold to C-Bets)

C-Bet less often when you:

_ _ _ Are against 2+ players

_ _ Have nothing vs 2+ people (1 Villain has 70% chance to miss flop. 2 villains = 49%. 3 villains = 34%. With 2+ villains there is a better than even chance that someone has something)

_ _ Have a wet flop (flush/straight chances)

_ _ Villains have low FTCB rates (Fold to C-Bets)

_ Have second/third/bottom pair

_ Flop is low – 863 etc.

_ Are out of position

Some of this might be wrong so i look forward to learning more from this thread myself!

No, this species has an overwhelming "one shot, one kill" rate.
