Oh, is SpaceX going into the airplane business?

You don't need a smart tv, just go to a thrift store and buy an older model.

It's also spring, so if the ground thaws and drains quickly, he can launch another offensive and only "get serious" about a ceasefire next fall.

Apparently she got stuck in the States when all the borders were closed during the pandemic, which seems pretty reasonable grounds for overstaying.

But - she didn't leave when the borders re-opened. She had fallen in love and at some point she filed paperwork to normalize her status - though they're pretty coy about when they filled the papers, so I suspect that was done after the borders re-opened and she should have left.

.

I'm also going to point out what I haven't seen in any of the comments so far which is that, with ICE being pressured to increase the number of deportations, they're opting to go for low-hanging fruit. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean raiding places that they've known for decades are hiring illegal immigrants, arresting and prosecuting and imprisoning the owners and managers.

It does mean that they're hanging out at at least some airports, and it sounds like they're running passenger lists ahead of time (because they knew exactly who to approach). I mean, why to go the trouble of driving out to some farm or factory in the middle of nowhere, trying to chase down people who know the area better than you ever will, when you can sit at a comfy air-conditioned desk and only bother to get up when the computer lets you know that your "target" is trying to check in for their flight?

If you could find a dinosaur bone, would you:

  • want one bigger than you are and was really impressive but you couldn't move it and it would have to stay in the house;

OR

  • would you want one that was about the size of your finger and not really impressive but you could take it with you everywhere?

Fetterman has been increasingly right-wing since his stroke, I fully expect him to switch parties.

Since the article didn't mention it, I'll throw in wastewater scan, which presents whatever current information they have from various wastewater plants around the nation. I poke at it like once a week, just to see what's going on in my area.

Here's a map of birthright vs inherited citizenship. As you can see, most of the Americas have birthright citizenship.

The article links to the EPA's list of cleaners effective against it (and they have lists of cleaners for other things as well). If you check the list, you may find something there that you could find locally at an affordable price.

I like documentaries, so I'd like to recommend Canada: A People's History and Stuff the British Stole.

It also sucks for those on the wrong side of the cycle. I reached adulthood right at the start of a bust, worked my ass off but accumulated random debt (car died, cancer, etc). The good times came and I could finally catch up! Worked my ass off finally paid off all my debts, had just started to save up some money - and the economy crashed again. It's not even that I get good times alternating with bad times; I get bad times alternating with really bad times, simply because of the year I reached adulthood :(

 

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Is there a setting where I can turn off people's ability to PM me? The spamgirl is annoying me, and I'm sure more will follow in her wake.

On other sites with spam issues, I'd turn off the ability for people to PM me and, if they asked on a thread I was on, I'd either re-enable PMs or add them to an approved users list. I thought I'd seen that ability here (I'm on the plain web version of fedia.io), but may well have been confusing it with some other site.

Thank you!

Unsilent Night is happening 6pm Sunday; meet at the Guardhouse at Rittenhouse Square. The music you hear changes on how many people are playing which tracks, where you are in the crowd, and how the environment you're moving through reflects or deadens the sound. It's pretty cool - join us for a (cold) stroll on Sunday evening!

 
 

There are five games to play, including a strike-themed take on Wordle.
