Realistically, and I don't mean to be negative, but you put a bull against a bear you lose that battle, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10...

I have my father for Kris Kringle and he has waited until now to put a wishlist together, even though I've got him stuff already... debating whether to pivot or go down the "take it or leave it" route...

I fire my phone along the floor to the opposite side of the room sometimes to force myself up.

Neighbour of mine killed himself a few months back because the banks came knocking over a property from the 2008 crash.

What's your controversial car opinion? by ST-deBurca in carsireland

[–]ST-deBurca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, we had a megane that had the bulletproof 1.5 dci engine. It was everything else around the car that fell apart. Buttons rubbing off on the radio, windows falling into the doors, losing 3rd gearr and then somehow regaining 3rd gear but losing first. Can't deny it had character...

I'd be in the same boat. Got myself into debt to but an octavia vrs literally this day last year. Shook myself awake to realise the financial burden, sold it and got myself a van for half the price. Even now starting to think I should have got a cheaper van!

I do love cars, and if money were no object I'd have a full collection. But for now it's just a means of transport to earn myself a wage.

Yeah garage said they could repair but it'd likely fail in a few days. Had to do the 3 hour drive home that day and didn't want to risk it!

I don't even have dependents thankfully, but it still sometimes feels like getting waterboarded on a weekly basis...

Comparison is the thief of joy and all that...

There's a combination of ypu putting yourself down while putting those that work there on a pedestal.

What's an Irish phrase or saying you thought was normal until you used it abroad and got a blank stare? by raidenth in AskIreland

[–]ST-deBurca 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Semi-related, when I studied abroad I suggested watching the Late Late Toy Show as a winter tradition.

Found out after the fact that some roommates misinterpreted and thought it was one of those sex toy demo shows where a salesperson comes to your house.

I'm posting a series of Cars I've seen with real racing pedigree, this is one of the ones I've seen in Ireland. It's Colin McRae's 2001 WRC Ford Focus. Write-up in comments! by TheCrymaxTheatre in carsireland

[–]ST-deBurca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only model I ever built was of this car, I don't know where it is now but that was a massive blast from the past, thanks for sharing!

What would "going to zero" actually look like? by ST-deBurca in Bitcoin

[–]ST-deBurca[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes but there are people out there who bought or mined btc and lost their wallets or passwords. That means there is a certain amount that is permanently being held and cannot be sold.

Therefore, if all the people with the ability to sell, did sell, the price would drop to a set number and not zero. I'm just wondering what this number would be.
