I'm not in the US, so maybe I'm wrong on this, but I would imagine trump has pushed a lot of people who would have voted republican into non voters. These would be the group I would be having conversations with, trying to convince them that voting democrat is a bigger protest than abstaining, and to do anything else is to risk an anti democratic felon becoming president.

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've been using retroarch with the Genesis Plus GX core, and that seems to work well and is open source. Not everyone loves retroarch, but I've moved to it so I can use some of the more interesting HDR 4k CRT shaders

Was hoping to find this here, many happy childhood memories playing this one

I'm pretty sure that is also the case in the US. These incidents are either caused by some sort of defeat device (I have seen weights that wrap around the steering wheel, no idea if they work), or people who have just gotten good at resting a hand on the wheel and not paying attention I think

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

Yes, the UK justice system works on the same principle

Nope, it's not. It's in the terms of service. If you don't like that, don't sign the contract with them. Steal it if you want to. I'm cool with piracy, just not with the poor attempts at justification.

This is why I only carjack rental cars, it's totally not stealing!
