That'll be what it is. In my experience as a cyclist it's unusual for drivers to indicate to overtake a cyclist even when do do move fully over into the other lane.

I recently overheard someone talking about how the lane assist in their new car tried to stop them from safely passing a cyclist. It tried to force them to stay in the lane.

As a cyclist it made me wonder how many of the close-passes I experience, where drivers just full on don't change course and blast past me with inches to spare, are actually due to the car not wanting the driver to move out of the lane.

listentoamovie.com is also a great resource for mixing your own ambience.

The flat-earthers are gonna have a field day with some of these.

You're not wrong. There is a loyalist majority in NI. But those that would refer to Northern Ireland as "the north" would generally be among those that definitely would refer to the six counties as occupied.

That wasn't the question ksec asked though was it.

"Off Topic: Is the short form (Republic of Ireland) ROI used often?"

But also no. Cables landing in ROI would be under completely different regulatory control to cables landing in NI which would be under United Kingdom regulatory control.

I understand what you're saying, but it's not just pedantry.

You do have to be specific about what you mean when you say "Ireland" in any context where it is important that you are understood.

"Ireland" can quite correctly either mean the island of Ireland or the country called Ireland (aka The Republic of Ireland). In a political or business context you are likely to be specifically referencing one or the other.

ROI is often used, yes.

It's a good way of easily differentiating between whether you're talking about Ireland the island, or Ireland the country, which currently excludes the six counties of Northern Ireland (NI) which are still part of the UK.

The term Ireland is often used to refer to the island as a whole, but obviously this can depend on the political leaning of who you're talking to.

Northern Ireland, depending on context and/or who is speaking can otherwise be referred to as Ulster (problematic, as the province of Ulster has 9 counties, only 6 of which are in Northern Ireland). It is also common in some circles to refer to the 6 counties currently occupied by the British simply as "the north".

In short, Ireland is a hot geopolitical mess and when talking about Ireland, it is useful to be as specific and as neutral as is possible.

So ROI/NI are quite useful shorthands.

Where was he hiding?

Not really no. That would be clear. This would be like if the warrant was for everyone who checked into "the hotel or hotels within a polygon defined by these coordinates"

That's the difference though. This isn't a warrant against a person. It's a warrant against "anyone who google recorded as being in an area"

It's alluded to in the article that judges aren't aware of the size of the geofences they're asked to sign off on, yeah.

Now you mention it, I think we used a combination of the two. Google's cache filled in some of the blanks.

Sometimes, but not often for the particular craft ales that these offers usually apply to.

I find it concerning that a judge, being presented with a textual description of four GPS coordinates would sign off on a warrant without simply asking... "okay, can you show me that on a map then?"

I'm very much the opposite. I have in mind what I want to pay for a certain item, butter for example, and I'll buy whatever brand is being promoted that week for my target price. As long as it's not absolute garbage of course.

Maybe it's different in the UK than in other places, but the large supermarket chains are constantly running so many promotions that you can, if very brand disloyal, always shop smart based on bogofs and alike.

I think the counter argument to this is non-perishable food and other groceries.

There is a certain brand of shelf stable non-dairy milk that my family use a lot of. The usual price is £1.50 a carton. Every few months there is a 3 for £3.00 offer. Now this is obviously a ploy to get you to buy more than you needed and also to appeal to new customers.

But I use these offers to stock up on weeks worth of the stuff. If has a shelf life of over a year so it's a no brainer. I hardly ever pay full price.

But if you did want to buy 3, or 6 or even 12 bottles then it is actually a saving. It's about shopping smart.

I once rebuilt an entire content site from the internet archive after a catastrophic data loss.

Also don't forget that "No deal is better than a bad deal"

It won't happen but I agree. It's like asking someone if they want to go out for dinner, then finding that the only place open is a place with a zero star hygiene rating. At that point it's reasonable to ask, "shall we just stay home instead?"

Otherwise known as transliteration

It would be interesting to see how well upvote/downvote would work.

These mirror organisms would need a plethora of mirror microbes created for them if they were to be able to do things such as digest food.

It would stand to reason then that some of these mirror good microbes would eventually evolve to become mirror bad microbes?

Some would argue it's more of a "start looking for a new job, we're about to fire you" warning.

It can if they throw it

Yes, but crucially it doesn't cause the user to use less heroin.

I'm a Lloyds customer, and I'm not suggesting that this is in any way related but my current account today showed a planned 0% overdraft limit of £2 shy of £10bn.

We exclusively use Koko coconut milk in my family.
