    Very silly to spend that much on a PC and not get an SSD.

      Agreed, was top of my list alright but fairly clueless with all this stuff, SSDs seem to be around the 250GB mark, should I be getting 2 of them or 1 SSD and one other?

      - none of that is me picking a custom build, it's working of a €750 template.

        Ah ok. Get one SSD and one HDD. That way you have a small, fast drive for your programs and a big, slow drive for your data.

              From 17 sec freeze frame it till 21sec, it looks like he had a gun but it dropped, at 20sec its about 8 feet from the cop ?

                you should record them (unless there's incriminating stuff).

                  have 1 to 1 meeting about health insurance today, no idea what to ask. This should be great!

                  also annoying that there are 5 billion plans

                    I just tried to deposit a bunch of cash into my Ulster Bank account and the teller asked me "What's the source of the funds?". I asked her why she was asking and she said that she is "just required to ask the source when the amount is greater than €5,000".

                    I didn't think to ask her what happens if I refuse to answer and just deposited €4,950 instead. She had no issue with that.

                    Anyone know what's up with this? Is it an Ulster Bank thing or a government thing?

                      Nice brag. Would be fairly common in most banks afaik, standard compliance question. Depositing multiple of 4950 is likely to result in more questions btw

                        Fairly standard AML stuff for all banks.

                          Been around for a good while afaik. No idea why they do it really.

                          And its not just Ulster Bank.

                            Standard. Credit Unions are the same. Just ask for large amounts. My boss sold his horse box the same week Cheltenham was on, deposited the cash and when asked where it came from he just said horses without thinking. He doesn't even gamble lol.

                            But yeah, standard queetion. You could have just said you won it or something.

                                Maybe ive become totally desensitized at this stage but I find that neither graphic nor upsetting.
                                Obviously it goes without saying its an appalling crime but nothing surprises me at this stage, particularly when it comes to the good ol U.S of A. Its a sad fact that the sight of another human being shot dead in real life no longer shocks me.
                                We give the Guards a lot of shit in this country but man we don't know how lucky we are in ways.

                                On the other hand just reading the report about the 2yr old girl knocked down in Phoenix park the weekend had me welling up, found that particularly hard to hear about, probably because we have a little girl.

                                  If a bank double recredited a fraud transaction on your account would people notify them?

                                    It's anti money laundering legislation. Large (defined as 5k+) cash transactions need to be reported. Plus suspicious patterns etc.

                                      what is "Individual Excess"? "the amount deducted from your out-patient claims per year"

                                      What does that mean? It's 1 euro? So basically nothing is deducted from claims or something, why is it not 0 then?

                                                      How do the BBV feel about Ginseng these days? Havent heard it mentioned in a while. Are people still using it?

                                                      I gave up after a week, gonna try again from today.

                                                        I still take it daily and regularly drink Ginseng Tea as well.

                                                        Still reckon I am mentally sharper when taking it, so much so I can nearly outwit my 7 year old Nephew.

                                                                                                                  In my experience it’s people who are overweight rather than obese who are most vocal and aggressive about their efforts to lose weight, and those people will now have to fess up that really they’re doing it because they think being fat looks gross. They’ll have to address their prejudices against certain body types, and how they feel about being someone who has one of those bodies. That’s an honesty that I, for one, would appreciate.
                                                                                                                  I can relate to being annoyed by people no fatter than me looking down their noses because I give less fucks about my appearance than they do. Fuck that noise.
