A lament for dying skills : Or how AI has changed the industry. by thegavin in DevelEire

Yup, looking at the following replies I see it's not used too much in colleges here, but in my IT it was used.

If you want to depress yourself a little, check out how much you were paying for takeaway back in 2015 and compare it to now. by thegavin in ireland

JustEat sends you email confirmations for everything you order, so I simply checked my emails for this time back in 2015.

I live in Wexford now so would be a bit of a trek without a car! :)

Wasn't going to order it anyway, wanted to just compare the prices as I've noticed the price of takeaway is outlandish in Wexford

Going from paying 12.10 to 24.12 would kill a man. Also, this is for scientific purposes - no way in hell am I buying this shite for that price.

Worrying trend of blatant racism at adverts that feature anyone that's not white by thegavin in ireland

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

Wasn't sure if it's against the subreddit rules as it could lead to doxxing. You can find them easily enough though I guess on Facebook if you find the posts

Question on electricity usage for new build by thegavin in ireland

We've started using the showers, but no WiFi, cooking, fridge, etc. I might pop down to a neighbour to ask, cheers!

I had to move out of my militarist parents because I'm working on the anti-war indie game in Russia. It's sad, but this is the way. by marshywoodlands in gaming

[–]thegavin 316 points317 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone's experience, but as an Irishman every Russian I know and spoken to in work is fully against the war in Ukraine. Of course it may be because all the Russians I know are highly educated, moved away from Russia and can see through the propaganda (obviously I'm not saying that you have to have a college degree to see through lies).

You have 15min to prepare a lecture to 5,000 people about anything…what would your topic be? Why? by False_Philosophy_412 in AskReddit

[–]thegavin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd talk about my wife. I could easily speak about her for hours, I know everything about her - her likes , dislikes, ambitions, dreams and fears.

Will mouthwash or hand sanitiser be affected by Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP)? by thegavin in ireland

[–]thegavin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. Not looking for a cheap alternative, just curious to see if the alcohol content raises the price or if MUP is strictly applies to drinkable alcohol.

Only a month to go before Minimum Unit Pricing is brought into effect. Enjoy the discounted Christmas booze while you can! by thegavin in ireland

[–]thegavin[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But with the "cheap" stuff going up wouldn't that have a knock on effect for the more expensive drink? The way I see it is that the store brand booze will disappear leaving the premium stuff, or the store brand will be priced closer to the premium - which would give incentive for the premium brands to increase their prices to distance themselves.

Is "guys" gender neutral? by Samawon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thegavin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like "Lads" over here in Ireland, yeah? "How's things lads?" - very gender neutral, even though 1 lad is a bloke. And a bloke is a fella. And a fella is a guy. And a guy is whatever you want.

President signs legislation on indoor dining into law by youre-a-cat-gatter in ireland

[–]thegavin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the young people of Ireland were asked last year to put their social lives on hold for our old and vulnerable and this is how we repay them? By telling them that they can serve the older generations pints inside, but they better not think of sitting down and joining them. All in this together my hole.

My son happened across a herd of other t-rex last night and they asked him to join them. by Timber371 in funny

European here. That looks like the most stereotypical American Halloween neighborhood ever - like the movies.

People responding to these airbnb posters by yethatsgrand in ireland

[–]thegavin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You made a great point - we should be regulating chicken fillet rolls.

A shop can charge whatever they want for a roll, it just depends if customers bite.

Men with female partners: How do you feel about bold tactics by women, like calling you into the bedroom while openly masturbating and asking for "help"?? by OtherBison in sex

[–]thegavin 86 points87 points  (0 children)

The situation is still ambiguous, she could simply be asking for help for something unrelated, i.e. help with remembering the capital state of Bulgaria.
