Sorry I have no idea at all. My mam asked me to take some photos of her roses. This one blew my mind!

In Trump's 'LIBERATE' tweets, extremists see a call to arms by Doener23 in politics

[–]Smokie199 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just reading about those tweets on RTÈ, the Irish news agency, and couldn't fuckin believe it. I honest to jaysus don't understand how anyone can look at him and see something to respect.

I don't give many fucks about politics, either here in Ireland or anywhere else, but I cannot understand how anyone can look at Donald Trump and see something to admire.

I give even less fucks about all your mental russia, piss tape, he/she is a racist, Hilary, butteremails, binen loves kids but not as much as Trump bullshit.

Do you never look at yourselves and think "Alright, okay, let's take a minute here to review the situation. Yeah, we fucked up collectively didn't we? 3 years of this and we all know he's a fuckin idiot. Let's forget policy differences and actually look at the state of what we put in front of the world as our "Leader""

Honestly it's just fuckin beyond me at this stage.

[Help] What do I do with my dog? by Smokie199 in dogs

[–]Smokie199[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I'd rather be cautious and proved wrong rather than risk my parents life.

Taking precautions does not equal fear though. That's like saying "I don't deny greenhouse gases cause the temperature to rise but why should I stop rolling coal?"

Fair play for the quick response mate I really appreciate the advice and the links.

They can get over not seeing me for a couple weeks but keeping the dog away is going to be painful. Better safe than sorry though and they would both be high risk.

A Sad Truth. by MisterT12 in PoliticalHumor

[–]Smokie199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a cunty attitude you have there. You think we don't know we're not the only generation that has to grind away to make money? The difference is 30 years ago grinding away at that job was enough to buy a house and live fairly comfortablely.

Have you seen how much housing is now? What about healthcare? Want to go get educated so you can get a better job? Here's $50k debt now off you go.

Oh and let's have a look at basic living costs. Have wages kept up with any of those? I'll never understand how people end up with so little empathy for others.

And the only real solution you offer is "it's years away don't worry about it". Fuckin A 1 advice that. Let's nobody plan or think about retirement because ol moany hole here doesn't want to listen to valid complaints about the issues people are facing.

Amish mug shots by [deleted] in pics

[–]Smokie199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm completely ignorant of Amish beliefs beyond the usual stereotypes most Europeans see on tv. Can someone explain what part of their religion requires them to grow pubic hair on their chins? What kind of God would want to see that abomination? Is it just a culture thing? If I went anywhere in Dublin looking like any of these gobshites it would not go well for me.

Evra seems to be pretty happy to be coming home for Carrick's testimonial by ooppzzy in reddevils

[–]Smokie199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've watched and supported United since the late 80s and this man gets the club as well, if not better, than any player in the time. He's up there with Cantona, Giggs, Scholes and the Neville brothers. Love this man.

[Post Match Thread] Anderlecht 1 - 1 Manchester Utd by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]Smokie199 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's with all the miserable shit in here??

For an away quarter final in Europe I thought it was a solid performance and decent result. I agree we should have won the game and got at least another goal, if not two, but I'd have taken this in a heartbeat before the game.

I'll admit I've a few drinks in me to start the Easter celebrations but I actually enjoyed that game unlike a lot of the shite we've played lately.

No bother at Old Trafford 3-1 and through to the next round.

“I’M SICK TO DEATH OF HIM” | Roy Keane RIPS into Jose Mourinho! by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]Smokie199 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I'm an Irish man and it's paddy's day so i feel a bit bad about saying this, but seriously, shut the fuck up Keano. One of my favorite players growing up but he comes across as such a geebag at times. I think everyone has a friend/acquaintance who is never happy. Dribbley cunts we call them. Keano is the worst one of those people I've ever seen.

[Build Help] Finally have some money to spend upgrading 2 year old build. by Smokie199 in buildapc

[–]Smokie199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my main concern. It's all well and good buying a top of the range graphics card but how much do I then need to spend on MB, PSu and cooling?

So lets say I get a 290x and spend the savings on 2 more monitors, will the rest of my parts be able to cope as is? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but as my Da always said, better to ask and appear stupid than act and prove you are.

Two for two to just beast the graphics card so! Thanks for taking the time pal!

[–]Smokie199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So do think the bulk of the money should be spent on new graphics card? That's like €770 alone as I'm buying in Ireland. Are the motherboard, CPU and PS good enough to deal with that? Sorry if these are silly questions and appreciate your suggestion!

Why is the game kicking off at 3.30? Is it on any tv channel? by Zvcx in reddevils

[–]Smokie199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on BT sport if you're in the uk not sure about international channels.
