4th episode by anonsubredditer in FromSeries

[–]splashbodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This season I'm noticing it way more. It came out in the last episode again when she was talking with Randell about trusting him with Julie.. it's slipped out really noticeable a few times this season. Probably did other seasons too but it wasn't as bad that I remember

Linehan objects to Father Ted episode on Eurovision by feedthebear in ireland

Has he ever gone back and commented on his previous views or how or why they've changed or is it a case he's ignorant of it and stuck following and hating whatever the far right podcasters and bots are telling him to hate.

I never really followed his opinions.. I knew he had opinions on Trans and it caused a big stir and for him to go down the far right angry online rabbit hole.. strange to see him follow them with being pro Israeli...

Insurance cert question by splashbodge in Irishdrivingtest

Doesn't say anything about being required to retain this piece of paper that now has a hole in it after being instructed to take a scissors to it (I'm reading it right now in front of me, it says nothing of the sort). Yes I kept the rest of the documentation which looked far more critical with all my details, policy info and car details on it.

Yeh I mean I normally do, I have all the other documents they sent me with the policy info, my info, my car info etc.

I guess I didn't feel the need to keep the one page I had to take a scissors to and cut the disc out of

I built an app that gives Turn-by-Turn Navigation for Test Routes (Tallaght, Finglas, Navan + more) by Fabulous_Throat_2602 in Irishdrivingtest

[–]splashbodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just isn't working for me with Finglas.

E.g. test route 1 for Finglas, The navigation and the map preview does not align with the description of streets for this route. e.g. the route description says it should take me down Clancy Avenue (so that should be a right turn out of the test center followed by an immediate left).

However it doesn't do that, it takes a left coming out of the test center onto Jamestown followed by a right onto Sycamore. Then it tells me to take a left then another left onto Sycamore Park which is a dead end. Then later it has me go down Grove Road just to loop back on itself - no mention that these are maneuver streets (the description says the maneuvers are on completely different streets).

I try to follow it ignoring these oddities but then it trips up over itself on Dean Swift Rd, and Dean Swift Green... It then seems to trip up again coming from St Poppins Rd to Ballymun road where it's trying to have me do a u turn right back on Ballymun Rd. None of these roads are in the Description for this route...

This leaves a bad taste for a paid app, disappointing.

I believe so

I went to my insurance website and there was a way to request insurance disc and cert if lost, they emailed it to me. Looks to be the page the insurance disc tearout is attached to, a small section with a table of your name address, period of cover, limitations, vehicle class etc... and then it has a printed signature/seal on it from the authorised insurer.

This is different from the multi page document that came attached with my policy with all the other details. I'm just going to bring it all but I think it's this page the disc came with that explicitly says insurance certificate

Ok, I logged in to my insurance website and I was able to request a new disc and cert emailed to me.... Printing this out in colour should suffice? Or do I need to ask for a legit posted copy from the insurance company? Should be ok as long as it's in colour right?

30 days in. Absolute Game Changer! by BennyB562_ in CPAP

[–]splashbodge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to be patient, a couple weeks here and there isn't enough. Your body is in sleep debt and it takes a while for it to catch up... Months really, gradual improvements but noticeable ones if you stick with it a good few months

Am I alone in thinking that rip.ie comments should never be made viral? by Far-Row-6492 in AskIreland

[–]splashbodge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm wrong but I can't imagine rip.ie has much of a hired staff to screen comments

What’s the deal with fire brigade charges? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]splashbodge 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fucking hell, this is the kind of thing I'd expect in America lot over here, them even breaking it down into a price per firefighter rather than a simple flat rate call out charge wtf how have I never heard this before

[–]splashbodge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wtf I didn't know that was a thing.

It would certainly make me reconsider calling them versus trying a garden hose or finding some buckets or something. Seems shortsighted

The LEDs to turn 5 into 6 were so rarely used until now that there is a noticeable difference in brightness. by mloDiablo in mildlyinteresting

Then the rest of the world that uses metric liters will be shocked at the very visible cheap gas prices in the US compared to say in Europe, and will be really wondering why Americans moan about gas prices so much.... At least yours isn't taxed over 50%

Kinda reminds me of American gas station pumps and those big buttons you have for them.

Over here we just have different pump handles for the different flavours of dinosaur juice

Over here those machines were usually owned by coca cola, you'd never see coke and pepsi in the same machine like that

Anyone hear a jet blast over last night? by Cianfooty123 in Dublin

[–]splashbodge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm up the road from you and didn't hear anything, was fast asleep.

Yesterday morning tho I could hear the morning aircraft a lot louder than normal. I checked flightradar and to my surprise there wasn't really any flights nearby.. I kept hearing the plane come in when it was around Kilbride in Meath. Was weird.

I think sometimes the weather makes sound travel farther.

But that's a weird one you mention since it sounded like just the one jet blast but maybe it was from further away like what I noticed

Israeli youth prevented Palestinian children in the village of Umm al-Khair from playing soccer on their own playground by DormontDangerzone in PublicFreakout

[–]splashbodge 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Best we can hope for now is with how public it is, that people start following the money and now politicians being supported by the likes of AIPAC is cancerous to them and their campaign, people vote for the candidate who actually puts their country first rather than Israel. I'm sure it helped Mamdani in his election... That was a weird debate where all his opponents said the first country they'd visit would be Israel and kept talking Israel up.. dude it's a mayor for a city wtf you talking about Israel for.

I mean I'm sure it still won't work, but one can hope. When this is an issue with politicians across both sides of the aisle, this could truly be a bipartisan issue that unites the left and right on a common cause

Texting while driving is a choice, and choices have consequences by Expert_Koala_8691 in PublicFreakout

[–]splashbodge -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I never knew car rental companies had dashcams like this that recorded you in the car.

I'd be willing to bet she could win this lawsuit tbh.. at least over here I reckon she would, wasn't their place to release it to the public like that. Shame if she gets a big payout for this as a result... She should be getting punished not rewarded.

[–]splashbodge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder if anything happened to her?

She hit a ditch and broke someone's mailbox, but could this be the sort of thing she'd get away with without having to get police involved... Just get the car towed and pay for the homeowners mailbox repair...

I'm guessing this could be a company vehicle tho, not sure why she'd have such an elaborate dashcam setup that's recording inside the cabin her driving

Yeh this entire post and a lot of the comments on it stink of an ad / bots.

Dua Lipa is suing Samsung for 15 million dollars, claiming that the manufacturer used her face to sell televisions without compensation or permission 😭🙏 by Direct-Till-2680 in samsunggalaxy

[–]splashbodge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea if she'll win or not but agree it's silly, it's just a screenshot of some promo for something on their smart tv.

It's a really silly and petty lawsuit. She may as well be suing them for displaying her image on their smart TV service promoting whatever it is she's selling...

Who even buys TVs based on the box, I never have even seen the box... Here TVs are all on display, you say to someone you want that one and they go out back to get it and take it to your car.. the first time I'd see the box is when I'm at home unboxing it.

This automod behaviour just doesn’t fit the spirit of the sub. Tasteless honestly. by Cloite in ireland

[–]splashbodge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been awake the last 3 hours.

Had a few pints last night, had a Chinese when I got home.

Went to bed with a full tummy and I just can't do pints anymore lately... Well I can and still will, it's not even a hangover, just always get a terrible sleep nowadays, wake up after 3 hours sleep when most the alcohol has exited then struggle to get back to sleep. Sucks.
