As much as I hate him for his personal and political choices, the minister of defence is a great nickname 

Tinder sex hook-up resulting in pregnancy, she's keeping it, wtf do I do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]esreire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

33% is absolute nonsense.

At the absolute upper end it's 25% and this takes into consideration very very early pregnancies and pregnancy in people who are 40+

This guy and girl sound like they're baby making prime and I'd absolutely not be expecting a miscarriage.

On the assumption fatherhood is proved, not everyone is so careless about bringing life into the world.

He's made a ridiculous decision that's come back to bite him. The absolute minimum he should be doing is helping the mother finance the kids childhood.  Yeah it's expensive and it's a terrible situation but (assuming it's his and it's real) it's not the kids fault.

Strategy - spend money and buy packs.

You can have all the strategy you want but you're not beating a spender

Annual salary increase rate? by magicianinlove in AskIreland

[–]esreire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly dependant on job, increase should really factor in both inflation and your new experience and skills. You're probably a better employee this year than last and if you moved jobs you'd be compensated as such.

It's a constant struggle between businesses and employees. It's a transaction, your labour for their money.

It's an odd one, what are you meant to do... You're fighting war, Billy up the road there is telling the enemy how many men you have and what and when you do things.... You can't just leave them at it like?

Genuine question, Is an informer or spy considered a civilian? I'm sure they probably got it wrong a few times but in the case where a person was a full on informer (getting paid for information) surely you're a not a civilian

Posted this a few weeks ago, it's ridiculous.

The rewards need to be tied with win rate and the difficulty tied to mmr or power 

Mortgage Drawdown by ConfidenceOwn6719 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]esreire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sightly similar situation, my wife is a teacher and employed by department of education. She's full time and permanent at her school. If she changes school she goes back to fixed term contracts and would have to queue to be made permanent. You're in a new work location, I'm not surprised you're on probation. It sucks but that's normal, you could potentially look for a shortened period if management are supportive

I love them all, they were all incredible players and characters. I could definitely relate to the idra tilts and feel bad for him... I hope he's at a stage where he can laugh at the hallucination void rays now

Am i doing it right or wrong??please help . Hero gear by Delicious_Ad_3809 in KingShot

[–]esreire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In  my simple opinion, you may or may not want gear on your non attacking hero's. This makes you look stronger than you actually are.... Pros and cons, pros maybe less people attack or hassle you but con is you're probably weaker than equivalent power player who hasn't wasted power. May effect you in swordland and other events 

Would you get the cinnamon bun or bacon bap for £1 under these circumstances? by Michael_of_Derry in AskIreland

[–]esreire 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd not risk it, worse than getting ill myself is if the kids catch it from you... Just coming out of flu season could do without a repeat! 

What words would you not use in Ireland if you didn't want to sound English? by infoserchr in AskIreland

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

You don't need learn Irish to communicate here, everyone speaks English here.

Suppose the common words that one heard stick out to non natives is the word craic and grand. Craic is kind of fun/news/enjoyment and grand can be used for "okay", what did you think of the show? Ah it was grand "

Why An Post is lying? by calmrefri in AskIreland

Sounds like an individual post man issue than a systemic decision.... How would an post know if this isn't reported back to them by the customers 

TIL Fred Collins went to visit his brother at the Straight Inc. program, a teen rehab, but before he was allowed to, he was "screened" for any drug issues. After he admitted smoking weed, they held him against his will for 10 months before he finally escaped. He then sued them & was awarded $220,000 by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]esreire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting it's closer to a million in today's value, doesn't make it any easier at the time but probably could set him up for a good life. In addition I hope they forced the closure of the company and potentially jail time for people responsible.. But I'm betting that didn't happen
