  • 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

    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.

    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.

    One warning, if you use a display over HDMI, then you might have a bad time with Radeon on Linux. I use an LG C2 TV as my monitor, and there is a bug in the driver that forces it to a crappy ycbcr mode that ruins text clarity. I did try all manner of workarounds like hacking up the EDID profile, but I gave up and went back to Windows for now.

    It’s a very specific issue, but a showstopper if it affects you
