  • I don’t really see how this represents any proof that these asylum seekers are illegal economic migrants. Rwanda isn’t a safe country for asylum seekers, so it seems reasonable that people would try and avoid being sent there. If Ireland now appears safer, then travelling there from the UK makes sense surely? The position for “illegal economic migrants” hasn’t changed substantially, as the likelihood of being sent to Rwanda is low. But if you are trying to reach safety, the threat of death or torture hanging over you might be enough to make you consider Ireland






  • We don’t tend to use air/air heat pump systems in the UK, even for new builds, always air/water.

    Because of lower water temperature output of heat pumps compared to the gas boilers they replace, usually you need to increase the size of radiators to be able to achieve a room temperature change in a reasonable time. What is being referred to as efficiently, is actually just a measure of performance of the radiator, not actual energy efficiency.

    I was bitten by a golden retriever when I was 12. It looked friendly so I went to pet it, and it sunk a canine into my arm. I was just unlucky (and slightly stupid) though, and it didn’t rip my face off, so I think I did ok overall.

    A German shepherd also tried to bite me when passing it on a narrow path, but it just shredded my jacket pocket.

    A Yorkshire terrier also had a go at me once, but didn’t make it through denim jeans.







  • The problem, at least in the UK is exactly that. As commercial vehicles, they can be more tax efficient than company cars. Lots of builders and mechanics have them as family cars, because this avoids the traditional emissions based personal company car tax system. I appreciate this is more of a problem with the UK commercial taxation system than anything else but still

    This is known as a “bike box” in the UK. The short section of cycle lane is just to help cyclists approach the box. You would only use it when the lights are red to get in front of stopped cars. There is no cycling on the pavement (sidewalk) allowed here, only on marked shared paths.

    Ok, then why does the same display work perfectly in windows? The display supports full RGB both 8 and 10 bit uncompressed. There is an open issue for this on the driver gitlab repo.

    Don’t monitor shame me please. Also, the pixel density is within 5% of my 27" 1440p monitors.
