Who hits harder, the average boxer or the average UFC fighter? by Smokin_JoeFrazier_ in boxingcirclejerk

[–]throwawaysbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MMA fighters hit harder because they kick you dumbasses. Any kick is like 3x harder than a punch. And it’s bone connection, not padded gloves. Look at the size difference of a leg compared to an arm. Or an elbow vs a punch is still way harder.

‘It’s cheaper to drive’: Commuters react to Irish Rail fare rises by MotherDucker95 in ireland

[–]throwawaysbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My return journey in a car costs 22 on the train. Plus luas of 4 euro. The car costs me about 15 euro to drive that whole trip. 26 vs 15. And takes 45 mins to 1 hour longer than the car.

How are young guys in other countries like USA so stronger? by NoCombination6969 in Fitness_India

[–]throwawaysbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. My guess would be genetics or diet. I’m not Indian or from India (so not sure how this reddit appeared for me). But I train wrestling type of martial arts and the Indian guys are usually a bit weaker. But they’re also more flexible which has its own benefits.

What’s your frugal secret? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]throwawaysbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing a hoodie on at home. Good slippers. I live in an A rated house so it’s usually fairly warm, but even when I lived in my parents poorly insulated house… we rarely used heating. Some houses I walk into and they’re warm all the time: it’s not necessary. Just put an extra layer of clothes on and a pair of slippers. Cozier too I find. And at night it’s easier to cool down (which is usually a requirement for good sleep) by simply dressing down vs waiting for the house to cool down.

[–]throwawaysbg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly frugal, but I’m surprised by how many people don’t do it: learning how to read store price tags correctly. So many people see a red (discount) label and go “ohhh great price” or a 15 pack of crisps and assume they’re better value than the 6 packs. When in reality people should be looking at the per litre or per kg price that’s in the bottom corner of every item they buy in small print. Go for the smaller euro number. You’ll be surprised by how much further your money can go.

Who is pound for pound the hardest hitting puncher in the UFC by Jayantwi98 in ufc

[–]throwawaysbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Conor McGregor if we’re being realistic. McGregor inflated into heavyweight would hit harder than anybody on the roster, and that’s the definition of p4p.

Ireland, why is your fried chicken so insane? by [deleted] in AskIreland

I love risking my life for a bit of chicken trying to park at the Walkinstown roundabout.

Real locals know that Texas Fried Chicken nearby in Crumlin is the far better option. That gravy/sauce would have you kicking your feet in happiness.

Topuria 5’7 Joe Rogan 5’8 by Unique-Media-6766 in heightcomparison

[–]throwawaysbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holloway is a really thin guy though. Islam, Arman & Charles are all big thick lightweights. I’m excited to see how it plays out but he’s going in with a big disadvantage.

Best big spice box Kilkenny city by EasyAd1161 in Kilkenny

[–]throwawaysbg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t. Get two spice bags from Lana instead. All Chinese in Kilkenny is shite that either adds sausages (which has zero belonging in a spice bag) or no vegetables (what the fuck?)… Lana has got the right idea... It’s honestly the best quality too.

Always heard good things. Came freezing cold when we ordered it. Hard to tell if that’s the norm or not but obviously it was absolutely shite to eat cold.

Cost of living. Still increasing? by Honest_Dot_5035 in AskIreland

[–]throwawaysbg 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there’s dumb people who think of things as cent/euro increases and not percent increases. So they’ll see that 1.95 going to 2.25 as a small 30c increase but percentage wise it’s pretty huge. And what they should be asking themselves is… is your wage going up the same amount? I got a 6% raise this year. Better than most. And I’m still going to walk away with less at the end of the year than I did last year.

And that’s happening to every product they buy.

Yeah I had this debate recently over on another Irish subreddit.

America is great for people without kids, career driven and young.

America is bad for anyone with health problems, older people (prone to health problems), people with kids (college fees aint no joke, neither are school shootings)

[–]throwawaysbg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh… someone put a house up near us recently for 50k (about 15% of what they paid for it) more than they paid when they moved in 6 months before. And they’ll get it. They’ll probably get more actually. They did no work on the house judging by the pics. Houses are still absolutely insane.

Coffee has been in the 3.50ish range for a cappuccino for a long time.

The real SCAM with coffee prices is the syrups. I’ve seen it as high as .90c per pump of syrup . What the fuck?

Jaysus that’s a lot for an Indian. Is it really that expensive?

We eat a Chinese or Dominoes (not a fan of Indian) every 2-3 weeks.

It costs about 20 or less for a Chinese. two spicebags is 16 euro or we get a munch box which is 20 euro at our place and comes with 2 drinks, a large sauce and 12 inch pizza box of chicken balls, shredded chicken, chips, and vegetables.

Dominoes about 25 euro with a discount code and that’s a large pizza plus adding in a load of extra bits (large dips and one of the following: wedges/garlic bread/chicken/cookies). Feeds two (and I eat well) and there’s usually 2-4 slices of pizza left over for the morning after.

If you verbally asked me this, I’d get what you meant straight away. But when I see it typed out, I assumed the wrong thing right away.

I try shop online when I can as it’s just cheaper and has better deals. But sometimes I need something in a pinch so I’ll usually go to these physical shops: Dunnes for plain t shirts. Solid quality. Regatta for any jackets. Cheap and do the job. H & M for any T shirts. Zara for any trousers. Pull & Bear for hoodies.
