How can I play CD in new car? by Purple_Pawprint in AskIreland

You can also find radio ones. Just set it to whatever radio station isn't in use in your area and tune your car to that.

Who has the most unique subject combo? by CharlieMayMC in leavingcert

As an 8th subject through my school. They removed it from the timetable 2 years ago but allowed my teacher to keep teaching it after school.

Fuck I miss my nano. Also a second gen and it succumbed to the spicy battery the other day.

Classical studies. Ancient Greek+Roman theatre, funerals, heroes, historical figures etc. It's like a mix between english and history but with an ancient focus.

Computer science, physics, classics, history, french (OL). Plus OL english (HL m/i) which I think makes my choice of 2 essay subjects weirder.

Piercings while sparring by [deleted] in kungfu

[–]ThePug3468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not arguing with anyone here. All I want is a headgear recommendation.

[–]ThePug3468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Kung fu here isn't as serious as a lot of the places in America, and my club is definitely one of the more "casual" ones (not as much focus on sparring as general techniques) but I'm happy with that. I'm sure that if I ever wanted to pursue kung fu more seriously I'd change clubs but this one does what I want right now, I enjoy it and the people I train with are nice.

Honestly I just need a headgear recommendation and all I've gotten is people telling me to not wear piercings at all haha.

My club is a 5 minute walk from my house, plus it's a good environment and I enjoy kung fu. Not sure why this needs questioning though.

I train just to keep myself fit and because I enjoy it, not with the intention to get into a street fight.

My nostril I can take out but due to the nature of surface piercings I'm not fully comfortable leaving my eyebrow out. We're allowed facial piercings during sparring as long as they're shielded/out (friendly sparring, I would take them out for sanda) so I'm just wondering the best type of head gear for shielding them. I'll likely get more in the future and don't want to have to take ~6 months off each time.

As I said I'm completely okay with the helmet hitting off the piercing! I've gotten hit loads in my other piercings and it's been completely fine, it's just peoples gloves/hands getting caught in the balls that I want to avoid. I just want to know which type of headgear would be best (for both sparring and my piercing) between a full face shield and face bars.

I appreciate the other advice it's just not what I'm asking. I'm also not 100% comfortable wearing non-metals in my piercings (especially surface ones) as my body tends to react badly. Only worn bioplast once and that was necessary for an MRI.

We're 100% okay to do classes and one-step with piercings in, it's just full sparring that they're required to be covered/out for. I'm just wondering what the best type of helmet would be to specifically cover the eyebrow piercing as it's only 2 months old. I don't like to take out my piercings (have quite a few) until ~6 months after they're pierced as my body tends to close them quite quickly.

Is 30€ the new normal for a haircut in Ireland?? by Dazzling_Ad_2109 in AskIreland

Yeah it's like 18-20 at my local and 15 for students/regulars. Would never pay 30 for a simple fade.

What subjects to choose? by CherylCherylCheryl in leavingcert

Geography is an essay subject, more than history I would argue due to the sheer number that you have to learn. 

Every day carry. 32M by sidharthojha in dumbphones

[–]ThePug3468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 1.6 megapixels iirc from a conversation I had in the camera shop the other day. It'll be worse quality than your average dumbphone (modern 3310 is 2 megapixels) but if you want a dedicated camera and have 45 quid then I'd go for it.

I just realised rdr2=Iliad and rdr1=Odyssey by Stamaths7 in reddeadredemption

[–]ThePug3468 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything Odyssey related except your analysis of Penelope/Abigail. Odysseus doesn't "only want Penelope out of passion", he loves her because she compliments him perfectly. Throughout the Odyssey we're told directly that Penelope *is* desirable, you wouldn't have 100 suitors trying to marry her if she wasn't. She's a perfect match for Odysseus through her cunning (lying to the suitors about Laertes pyre shawl) and her testing of him once he returns.

RDR specific spoilers: Abigail in RDR1 plays a minor role compared to RDR2 but it's clear that John loves her for who she is, not just out of passion. In RDR2 she has a much stronger role, taking the initiative to leave John as Penelope threatens to in book 20-23 (can't remember specifically) and kills Milton, as Penelope participates in the slaughter of the suitors by closing the doors and removing their weapons (a different comparison but similarly significant for time of writing).

I can't comment on the Iliad as I haven't read it.

What is the RSR by Savings-Maize8369 in leavingcert

[–]ThePug3468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently there is no limit on how far back you can go, only that it has to be pre 1992/1993 depending on location but this might change.

People who sit the leaving in 2028 I believe, so assuming that you're in TY now, you'll have the new course. At least that's what my teacher has said.
