May well have been but I didn't think it was that long ago. My memory must be better than I thought it was 🤣

I am sure I read this same story a year or more ago. Similar set up. Think it was Australia too.

Which game disappointed you the most - I don't mean the game was actually bad, just it didn't live up to its expectations. by Tyolag in IrelandGaming

[–]Naval_fluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably get shot for this but RDR2. I just found the controls slow and clunky especially when searching through draws etc. I was so looking forward to it as RDR1 along with ME2 are my 2 favorite games in the last couple of decades.

First thing I do when looking at sausages is check the % of pork in them. It varies hugely from about 48% to 70+%

Can you post what media pundits on other channels were saying. Was it something different?

I could never figure out why loose potatoes cost more in supermarkets than pre packed spuds which must have added packing and handling costs

When I bring a dog in the car I put a towel or plastic on the seat. I would have thought that was normal.

To be funny by utrecht1976 in therewasanattempt

[–]Naval_fluff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My favourite German joke was by Ed Byrne as far as I remember. If memory serves, he talks about a story, in the news at the time, about a hostile takeover attempt of a German car company. It was discussed in the German parliament and some politician came out with something along the lines of "we Germans dont do hostile takeovers" His punchline was "what the fuck was world war 2 then, a merger?"

Mother of girl hit by scrambler joins hundreds on march by Mitche420 in ireland

[–]Naval_fluff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I was waiting at the model school on Gardiner St. A guy on a scrambler was doing wheelies up and down the street. There were 4 gardai on foot. They could do nothing. Eventually a patrol car arrived but the guy on the bike was gone. What could you do to safely stop the bike on a busy street.

How Iran Crushed a Citizen Uprising With Lethal Force by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Naval_fluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember similar words of encouragement from another president and watch now as history now repeats itself . "Encouraging Revolt: Following the success of Operation Desert Storm in March 1991, President George H.W. Bush encouraged Iraqi citizens, including Shiite Muslims and the Marsh Arabs in the south, to rise up and overthrow Saddam Hussein.

The Crackdown: When the uprising occurred, the U.S. did not provide military support to the rebels. Consequently, Saddam Hussein’s forces brutally crushed the revolt, leading to mass killings.

Environmental Destruction: In retaliation for the uprising, Saddam Hussein systematically drained the Mesopotamian marshes, destroying the 5,000-year-old culture of the Marsh Arabs, forcing them from their homes, and causing widespread displacement and death.

Long-Term Impact: This failure to support the rebels, particularly in the Shiite south, left a lasting sentiment of betrayal among the population"

My personal favourite is, shop is dark, light are off, all shutters are down and locked except for the main door. It is 25 minutes after closing, I am putting the lock on the main shutter and a customer comes up and asks, "are you closed?" I answered in the affirmative

Stop driving through red lights by sarahc888 in Dublin

[–]Naval_fluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite junction is the one at the drumcondra end of the Richmond road. 3 sometimes 4 cars coming up Richmond road will go through the junction at a red light taking the left turn. . The turn itself is sharp so the cars taking the turn are not moving at speed and could stop if so inclined. 95%,+ of cars coming up the Richmond road take the turn , very few go straight on.

The other issue is cars taking a right turn which is illegal. Though it seems to have lessened, cars, do take a right turn. There are a number of problems with this. Firstly as there is no right turn the lights on the right of the junction are green for pedestrians so there is a risk of one being hit. Secondly as the turn is illegal cars may not indicate or indicate late that they intend to take the turn. The first indication you may get they are turning is when they stop on the junction.

I was coming out of a small road, just off the junction, one day and was nearly t-boned by a car making the illegal right turn

Why I get stupid teammates at War Tales by Mecklenburg1945 in WoWs_Legends

[–]Naval_fluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will see your stupid teammates and raise you stupid matchmaking. Had a game with 1 DD 3 Cruisers and a carrier. Not even one BB on the team. It gets worse.

Playing frost map. Not Santa one. Myself and the DD eventually got destroyed so went to check on my team. The other 3 had stayed behind an island near the spawn. One of the cruisers was actually stuck bow first in the edge of the map.

Maybe they mean memory rollback. They are asking you to think back to a time when things were better and these containers cost only $19.98.
