I'm not in any way slow to understand, not in this case anyway.

> If you can't see why an open border is vital for the continued peace, and why removing it would place tension on a peace that took decades to achieve, then you've already made up your mind.

I didn't say that, and I'm not even going to engage your straw man.

And I did not blame the EU for Brexit woes, I made a pretty basic statement of fact that would probably cover any negotiation, one which was intended only to signal compromise -- hence why the UK did not leave entirely -- not woe or blame.

What's Ulster got to do with it?

I asked for a reference in the GFA, you've provided a Wikipedia link. Fantasy stuff in the HN comment threads as usual.

> You're right, they were an ethno-nationalist conflict, during which the British government sanctioned the murder of its own citizens, and now continues to protect those murderers from prosecution.

Bit early for the drink, no?

This is, probably unwittingly, making my point.

Brexit in no way breaches the GFA. Threatening a return to violence in Ireland over Brexit is what I mean by "making things difficult".

The Troubles were not about sausage shipments between Belfast and Dublin.

Upvote for politeness :)
HN won't let me reply to you messe!

Can you point to the line or lines in the GFA which would have been breached by Brexit?

The UK wanted to leave as an intact entity, the EU made that difficult, therefore compromises.
GB is a third country, UK is not entirely.

Vaguely remember Boeing(?) blocking something in a web spec because would mean upgrading a lot of desktops.

Your first sentence is a personal opinion.

Link says Government sent a "first signal of its intention", title says "UK to depart".

Comments skip straight to how dumb we all are.

Who decides who is a terrorist ?

You’ve just handed over the role of government to Apple.

The people doing the dissappearing were from Ireland though.

It's just a toy. Dial's are difficult to make work in real UIs but they feature a lot in FUIs. FUIs also assume a lot of knowledge/expertise on the part of the user ... to move the dial with a mouse here you need to hold shift, you can also increment with up and down (or shift up/down).

These dials try to be smarter by calculating the torque value of a mouse/touch movement, so you really have to move around the dial like a real one.

Yes! We don't want to flatted the curve so much that it extends into winter, because then we compound other seasonal illnesses like the flu, and the pressure on the health service is back above the red line.

How to stretch.
If you make a deal to buy a bus (or 1000) today, what tariff would you be incurring as a result of Brexit?

And if we're post Brexit, what tariff is the UK going to impose on a UK manufacturer that kills it's business?
