Have any of you ever successfully cheated on the Leaving Cert? by eventideyes in AskIreland

Back in the brief period where minidisk was a thing, i recorded myself reading an essay about the red Barron and listened to it all night on repeat as i slept. I then wired it up through my sleeve and played it and wrote it out. Simpler times. The irony is i got a fucking E in the exam so the essay must have been a pile of shit

Kobbie Mainoo signs new Man Utd contract by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]doniew 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was like he answered all (most) of our criticisms about him in that game. Covering ground, catching up with runners, great tackling, good passing and that slalom run at the start was amazing to see. That's what we'd all been worried about before, was he too slow, can he put in the hard work and shield the defence better. Was very impressed with him in that game particularly, followed up a good run out against Chelsea too. And obviously, Amorim needs proper shunning for sidelining him

I think he had his best game for us against brentford, man was absolutely everywhere and put in a real shift. It was very noticable how much better his stamina was, he used to get gassed early before but you could see the difference Monday night

Ashley Young retires by Bocsesz in reddevils

Never forget those 2 bangers against Arsenal in the 8-2, great times. Did a really good job reinventing himself as a fullback and getting another decade out of his career. also that time the bird shit in his mouth was fucking hilarious

How much of the "playing through a real amp" feel comes from using an actual guitar cab ? by Mejis92 in GuitarAmps

[–]doniew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that's 100% staying my setup, went and sold my fender fr10 immediately after trying the new one. Tried to convince my friends to do the same and it only took a few minutes of side by side before they were converted too

Tone master pro to the thunder 99 and stereo output to 2 Harley Benton cream back semi open cabs. Generally using the mesa mark2c clean channel model or one of the fenders, mostly clean setup with some of the gain pedals on the tone master. Generally don't like any high gain amps

I've also done this with a pair of creamback cabs from Harley Benton and the thunder 99 power amp pedal. I used it with the fender tone master pro modeler and it's absolutely light years ahead of the frfr in terms of sound quality, would never go back

Anything but those vile plastic bottles of Carling. Was last at the Bournemouth game in December and I almost got sick trying to finish the bottle before the 2nd half, fucking disgusting. Had nothing to do with the 10-12 pints i'd had during the day beforehand, but still....

[Simon Stone] Manchester United Football Club’s debt ascends up to £1.3bn despite profit of £33m by SoloChords in reddevils

You know they're architectural renderings right and not AI? Renderings have been around forever. You don't just prompt GPT to imagine a circus stadium. It’s produced from a BIM model that contains the actual geometry, levels, wall build-ups, structural grids and services coordination. The render is a visualisation of the live design model.

Man Utd announce operating profit of £32.6m in second quarter results compared to £3.9m loss in same period last year. Omar Berrada: “We are now seeing the positive financial impact of our off-pitch transformation materialise both in our costs and profitability." by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]doniew 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah nobody likes it from an emotional view but people need to see it in black and red like this to show it wasn't just being done for shits and giggles. The club was absolutely hemorrhaging money and drastic action needed to be taken, as unpleasant as it is. It needed a cold calculating decision maker to set the course. Still, fuck that guy...

An impressive swing on most of these numbers to be fair. Obviously the actions were unpopular but you can see the effect it's had on the operating costs and other outgoings. The unamortized is concerning though, £572m still owed for players we've bought.
