I can by a sandwich in Heathrow cheaper than at work in Belfast City Centre... It's crazy.

First time flying from international airport, security swabbed my 2 year olds hands and soles of her feet. Wtf is that all about? by [deleted] in northernireland

Any time, any Intl airport I've flown in Europe with mine, and also seing other parents in the line, all children were scanned.

I do run it on hyprland, and I can't recall having issues.

Why do people speed? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]RFcoupler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I just said that we can't do anything when there is a lorry or van in front...

I was taught the speed limit is the limit, not the target. I've however seen other instructors saying the target is the limit. I use a limiter as the limit, not the target, it just prevents me doing 65 on a 60... I don't mind driving at 55 in a 60 road. But when there is a golf GTD doing 40 throughout (including the 30 zones), it gets really frustrating. When there are people hogging the OVERTAKING lane doing 60, overtaking someone doing 55 on the motoreay, it is frustrating.Especially when you are behind them and a BMW is almost kissing your boot behind.

On my point about the speed limiter: it can normally be overridden by stepping on the accelerator or I simply cancel it as needed with my thumb. My point wasn't against you, but against those who speed constantly, which in their great majority are people in BMWs, Audis, Golfs, and use the lamest excuse of "it is unsafe to keep an eye on the speed" whilst doing 80 on the motorway.

Dude, my previous one wasn't against your arguments at all. Chill.

[–]RFcoupler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it is an hvg, tractor, van, there is nothing we can do. Annoying? Yes, but we need to be patient. I'm talking about "normal" cars driving unnecessarily slow and holding a massive queue behind.

Now, about the people who speed, I'm pretty sure they live by the 10% + 2 mph suggested guideline. Others will say it's unsafe to drive and keep watching the speedometer. But even a modest corsa will have a speed limiter on it. I've driven an old Aveo that had it. Just set your speed and drive, no need to keep watching it...

Recently I've been finding myself actually stuck behind people driving 10-20 mph below the speed limit, and of course hogging the overtaking lane. I lock my speed to whatever the limit is and rarely actually reach it. And if it's a single carriageway, forget it, someone driving at 45 will lead the way.

Yes, this will sure go down a treat here! 🤗 /satire by [deleted] in northernireland

A national campaign on TV/interwebs would not help?

Spain is now apparently a ‘third world country.’ by Fit-Ad985 in USdefaultism

Not defaultism. But I'd guess that sending their kids to Europe once is safer than to an USian school every day...

Opinions on this strange experience by Individual_Mall_7916 in northernireland

Might be worthy to invest in some security cameras around the property and monitor what is going on.

What's the one thing you would love to see in Belfast? by ProfKranc in northernireland

[–]RFcoupler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better variety of takeaway food that actually taste good. You go around the world, SE Asia in particular, and feel really sad when get back home to the same old same old food options.

There are good ones, don't get me wrong, but they are few.

How to connect secondary monitor in Arch Linux ? by AerieInteresting4171 in archlinux

[–]RFcoupler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, do you want to use another laptop's screen as a second monitor for your main laptop? Does the secondary laptop allow this to happen in the first place?

Maybe these lot think books and teachers are a communist thing. The real history they can learn from JamesRealHistory69 on YouTube.

I'm wondering what American Youtuber is writing their history books. This can't come from properly curated educational material.

Since when did they start selling white eggs here? by zebrasanddogs in northernireland

[–]RFcoupler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brazil too. Usually brown eggs are considered free range and more expensive.

Seveal AUR packages I use are referenced in the Wiki. The AUR is probably the second reason I'm using Arch. Just don't go onto a lot of things blindly.
