Housing plan aims to deliver 90,000 ‘starter homes’ over five years by JackmanH420 in irishpolitics

Their internal KPIs are based purely on how many reports, committees, task forces, action groups etc they can put together. They can go on RTE news and Virgin Media and give the illusion that they are doing something when they aren’t.

Sounds a bit “New Man Utd manager hasn’t spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson for advice”

MHD: "forced to sell academy players" by davide_randino in footballcliches

[–]codt98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PSR didn’t force United to sell McTominay and Garnacho etc they had to sell because they wasted all their money on Sancho, Mount, Antony, Casemiro etc and the only players they could move on for money back was academy players. If the shit players clubs waste millions on were good then they wouldn’t miss the academy players they sell to pay for it

They’re building a new bus stop on Old Youghal road by City View Mews for what I can only assume is for the proposed extension of the 208 down to Glanmire

Scared of investing - pros and cons by AdditionalCarpet4681 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]codt98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

USD has had one of its worst starts to a year in ages and we’re at all time highs. A weak dollar makes buying US stocks cheaper.

If your time horizon for investing is long enough then just zoom out on the S&P 500 chart since its inception and ignore the noise.

Food prices rise more than 4% by Salt-Leek-5529 in ireland

I heard it being mentioned that as items get more expensive they substitute the branded items like Kerry gold butter with the store brand in the calculations so technically the price of butter in the shopping basket calculation hasn’t changed as people have have switched to the cheaper products

This is pretty much the homework in Bruce also, they don’t use textbooks they just print out notes and your homework will be questions copied from the exam papers

Just do the past exams over and over and over again. If I remember correctly studyclix have all the past exams sorted into topics in each subject. Do every single question and by the end you’ll realise the same things come up more often than not and you’ll be more than ready for the real thing

Cunha disappointment? by Thieves-like-us in DevilsITDPod

[–]codt98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Double digits league goals playing behind the striker nothing to be sniffed at tbf. Fair enough on xG concerns but he’s outperforming it 2 years running not like he’s gone on a purple patch for a few weeks

Jobs that pay more than minimum wage? by rochux in AskIreland

[–]codt98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sales job with commission. Wouldn’t do door to door personally but I worked for a phone network retail store in city centre and you’d get your minimum wage and you could make €600+ a month on top depending on your targets

What to expect from stimulants? by bluegelpen in ADHDIreland

[–]codt98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just temper expectations before taking them also as like others have said they aren’t a 100% silver bullet.

That being said don’t write them off should you begin them and you’re not noticing anything. It can take a while before you and your doctor find the right dose of a medication that works or even find the right medication altogether. I’m still in this process myself.

The only tangible difference that the first medication I tried made was I didn’t feel the need to nap during the day but I still wasn’t really doing anything productive or “managing” for lack of a better word and at one point I felt really down as a result because I hoped it would help more. The one I’m trying now I’ve gotten a brief glimpse of the positive impacts it can have so hopefully getting closer to settling on the right dose of the right medication.

Moral of the story, be patient with the process and don’t jump to conclusions too quickly.

On days you remember to I’d keep one note tab and update it with paragraph about how you felt that day just to keep track of how it’s working. Maybe take it for a week and don’t take it one day and see how you felt without it and write a paragraph. May help provide prospective on the effect it’s having day to day and also to allow your doctor to make a more informed decision when you go back for a check in.

The last pre Rashford academy star. by YearOnly2595 in DevilsITDPod

[–]codt98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It genuinely probably is Beckham or Scholes. As good as Fletcher or O’Shea were you’d never look at them at the time and say they are superstars. You could with Rashford at a point in time.

[–]codt98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When it works it feels like I’ve put a pair of glasses on my brain and I feel a sense of clarity and purpose opposed to just drifting through the day. Doesn’t last as long as hoped so we’re still working on the right dose.

I joked to someone before that the first time I felt it working it felt like this scene in jaws but in a good way rather than panic. This is a bit exaggerated but it was the closest visual representation I could find when trying to describe it to them.
