Maybe you should keep your German shepherd indoors to stop it mauling other creatures?

From a UK perspective, it seems unbelievably cruel to keep a cat locked indoors. The hunting instinct is one of a cat's main drives, so to take that away is equivalent to removing sleep or food. I understand the issues around cats and wildlife in other countries, but I think the solution is to just not have domestic cats rather than trying to imprison them.

Hey, DM me an email address and I can send one over.

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.

Yes, the UK justice system works on the same principle

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

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!
