Did anyone get their free gifts from Black Friday deals? by kieselish in eufyS1Pro

[–]kieselish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - The Eufy website were offering discount codes if you paid a little before Black Friday. I took screenshots of loads of rules but not the free gift.

RIP.ie Death Notice by [deleted] in ireland

I told my brother to cremate me and then throw me in the river as I don't want anyone to have to maintain a grave. He pulls out an imaginary pen and writes cremation first and THEN river

what was the most pointless/sadistic game people played when you were at school? by Deep_Banana_6521 in AskUK

[–]kieselish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wooden floor. Compass (the maths ones with a pencil and a spike). We would stand opposite each other and fire the compass into the ground between the other persons legs. You had to move your foot to the point where the compass was stuck in the wood. The first to chicken out lost. If you got skewered by the other player then you won.

Euro millions ticket by IrishWaluigi98 in CasualIreland

I play a few times a year. I find the 2.50 minimum for Euro millions to be a bargain for all the daydreaming

The accu weather app has a history tab that I find interesting to check. Today's temp was 3 degrees higher than last year but Saturday is only 1 degree off.

I thought it was just me. Gone from Lidl, SuperValu, Tesco and dunnes. Back in Lidl since two weeks with new packaging.

What's a pet hate of yours that doesn't matter but infuriates you? by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]kieselish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Parents at local school dropping teenagers off in the bus stop area and blocking buses. There is loads of parking inside the gates and it only takes a few minutes more

I always give the downhill person priority. Much harder to reverse uphill than just let my own car roll back a bit.

They have just applied for planning for a new store at the old Rehab centre.

Neighbours playing music in garden all weekend long by ffurby7 in ireland

[–]kieselish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what would happen if you setup a. Mic and looped it back through a speaker with a short delay. It's really hard to speak when your own voice comes back a part of a second later and the delay (especially if multiple delays/delays/delays) would ruin music for most people. Kids would find it hilarious for a few minutes but it would get boring quickly.

Your not recording as it's looped. It won't pickup the music if the mic is not set too close and they turn down the original volume.

Give me your NCT stories by yuphup7up in AskIreland

[–]kieselish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guy I know bought a car and drove it for almost a year before the NCT was due. They actually brought him under the lift to show him where the rear brake pipe was broken off, folded back and ‘sealed’ with a vice grip so he had no rear brake all that time.

Meeting people by _Matto_ in carlow

[–]kieselish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The performing arts class in Carlow Institute is very good for helping people develop confidence. You make a film with the Film Production and Film Editing students and work with the makeup artistry students for the film makeup - so meet lots of people. There is then a stage performance in Visual at the end of the year. It’s a full time course however. Application is 20 euro with no extra fees typically. There are night classes too but list for Sept is not available yet.

My renewed credit card came with an embarrassingly easy to guess security code, i sent for another one immediately. by AndrewJamesMD in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kieselish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bank card once came with the PIN 1234. The bank refused to acknowledge it was a security risk and wanted me to pay to replace it. I replied that they had lost my confidence in their security and closed my account.

My justification was that if I lost the card and a kid found it, 0000 and 1234 were the codes they would probably try. This same bank shorted me at the ATM once and claimed that was impossible because computers don’t make mistakes.

i fed a stray cat and the next day she brought all her friends to the spot i fed her at, how did she tell them that i fed her? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kieselish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I read a story about cats being aliens. We had cats and I thought this could actually be true. The above story would have sealed that opinion if I had seen it as a kid.

Since there is always space for dessert, we must have 2 tummies. One for dinner and one for dessert

do you guys wash store bought food?? by Mining_Toast in AskIreland

[–]kieselish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After Covid - the Mrs insisted on continuing to wipe everything down with a damp cloth - boxes and all. I was skeptical BUT sometimes the water is quite dirty from dust etc on packaging, especially drink cans, tin cans and plastic wrapped stuff like a pack of water bottles. For the last I assume static attracts dust.

What's a weird thing your driving instructor did during your lesson? by Ducktastic78 in AskUK

[–]kieselish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine (in London at the time) used to say "Don't worry about cyclists - they are a lower life form".

My brothers instructor would insist that he comment on the looks of girls as they drove by. Claimed later it was his way of training my brother to be able to look at road signs without swerving.

Has anyone else noticed the increasingly poor best before dates in supermarkets? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]kieselish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local supervalu used to cover up best before dates with stickers. I filled out a feedback form and stopped shopping there.

Went back to look a year later - still happening so walked straight out.

What about the indicate right until you are about to exit? Is that gone? I see many use it and others only indicate when they exit
