Not meaning to be nosy but surely that would mean he won't get a refund as he was eligible to pay?? Maybe I've read the article wrong

Quick tech question.

I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop it now that I have a chance.
How much would a SSD cost?
And If I just completely copy the existing drive, (windows, few programs etc) would it work ok. Or would i have to do a full install and build it up bit by bit

I picked up a 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 for €147 so that should give you a rough guide of how much, bought on Komplett. Look on Crucial.com and you should be able to pick out your make and model SSD and check whatever equivalent sites for Australia.

I think you can get some cloning software with the Crucial ssd's so shouldn't have any problems in that department.

Loving the SSD I have now my machine is blazing fast

Ya, it reads that if you earned less than 26k in the year, but more than 500 in any week then you got charged stuff you shouldn't have? If you earned more than 26k for the year, you can't claim anything back according to that article, although it isn't exactly 100% clear.

I'm posting off my stuff in the next couple of days for top slicing relief on redundancy and tax back from not working the last 3 months of the year. Hoping for a significant amount from it. Don't let me down Mr. Taxman please.

[markc]

Spent 8 hours organising today.I got the accountant to agree a price in advance,€200 per year plus vat.Sounds reasonable.



No prison can hold me

sounds too good to be true at that price tbh

Must get onto taxman given I only worked 2 months, could be a couple dollars there for me. That top slicing relief must be nice

Thanks Danny.
Pretty much exactly what I was hoping.

It's a Dell from a few years ago. Decent at the time, screen, processor, etc are still decent.
Ram was upgraded 3 years ago to 2gb, so might up that to 4gb.
But the 80gb HD screws it over.

I'll see what happens.
It's either a new SDD plus posting the laptop from Ireland. Cost cira $200
Or paying for half of GF new laptop. Either an Samsung Ultrabook for $900 or a Sony Y series for $650

You definitely should as you will probably get back all the PAYE you paid I'd imagine, only having worked 2 months. I had never heard of top slicing til people I used to work with who finished a year before me started claiming it. Sounds pretty sweet, but I've no idea to calculate how much I should get back. I've read how it's calculated, but it didn't help much.

SSD & extra ram will make the old machine feel brand new, with the reduced space for me personally it will mean being a little more aware of what I'm putting on it and clearing stuff off it, the old 320gb hd will be used as an external now.

Wouldn't be mad on splitting the cost of a laptop but the little I have seen of those Samsung Ultrabooks I have liked.

[SatNav]

Surely something wrong there. Revenue are crazy efficient at replying to letters/emails etc (well crazy efficient in a public sector sense; but actually even efficient in a normal sense). No way they would have kept you waiting a week, let alone a few months.

there is a huge backlog, i rang today. colms friend sent his even before us and no reply either.

Re weed growing.

At what point does it turn into a crime?

You can buy the seeds legally.

So presumably you can store them wherever you want, including 'storing' them in soil. Surely that part isn't illegal - the planting of them?

There's no thc in a sapling, so surely that can't be illegal? Is it just if the plant actually flowers that you've crossed into the world of Pablo/Mr Nice etc?

it only becomes illegal when you get caught . until then its cushty

At a guess I would say that planting them constitutes growing them.

In law you are presumed to have intended the natural and probable outcomes of your actions. Putting hemp seeds in soil is an intent to grow which is a crime. Simples

[Zuroph]

u can legally buy the seeds?! WHERE?

[tylerdurden94]

Watched Luck a little earlier and thought it was solid but I wouldn't be huge fan of horsing racing but was impressed at the way it was portrayed, looked pretty slick thou so looking forward to seeing how it plays out over the 9 episodes.

Think the intro is pretty cool.

But is growing hemp with the intention of other uses a crime? Say rope, or fabric, or health ffod for hippie rabbits.

The culivation procedures for maximum THC only apply at a certain stage. So it could be argued that it is only at this point that the intended natural outcomes was recreational use.*


(*Of course if all hemp growing is illegal, then that obviously doesn't apply)

Loads of places, i seen a thing on bbc about a guy who owned a gardening shop selling them and he owned an electrical shop 20 minutes away selling the lights for growing it. There was something about why the shops had to be a certain distance away, Loopholes ftw

they're sold as 'souvenirs' technically. Shop with hundreds of varieties on St. Williams Street parallel to Grafton Street.

lighting seems to be a key thing though. how would you go about getting a 400w light that plugs into a socket? Can you get a standalone lamp with that wattage?

Know nothing about electricity really, except that its there and that it costs money.

Thinking of growing your own look up hydroponics, also this.

Remember seeing a trailer for this, looks like my kind of show. Is it on sky atlantic? Or can i download it somewhere?

[Guest]

Im sure would depend on number of plants and the yield off them.

Depending on police or courts if it came to that and you had say 200grams of weed would it be for your own use or supply.

Knowing irish police they would probably weigh leaves, stalks, soil, and the pots and give some redic street value for whole lot.
Supposed to be 10 year jail sentence mandatory for over 10k worth of drugs go easy on the pots.

Getting it wouldn't be had. But the bill would be a kick in the balls

400w x 24 hours a day x 90 days = 864Kwh
@ 16c/Kwh = 138.24 euro


We considered growing one here in our first place as we were the only ones with access to the roof. No indoor weed smells. No lights. But we never bothered
Really should of at least tried it out tbh

A friend asked me to login to his Pokerstars and make a withdrawal for him.
I noticed that he didn't have a player image selected so being the friend that I am, I selected one for him...



Pokerstars rejected it and wrote:

Unfortunately we are unable to approve the image that you have selected. We feel that this image might, in some way, offend other players.

I expect better of Pokerstars tbh, even if plenty of their customers will be inward knuckle draggers. Can't see my friend fighting it though.


tl:dr, Pokerstars supports the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy.
