How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven’t seen their identites released, and I don’t see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.

Careful, that’s how that one evil boyfriend in Scott Pilgrim died.

I’m with you about fries on pizza.

But fries with shawarma? Sign me up for that. And pile on some extra garlic, too

it’s the first I’ve heard of maybe a US citizen being deported.

It’s been happening for years. From the Washington Post:

The U.S. government does not release data on how often ICE wrongfully detains or deports U.S. citizens. But investigations by media outlets, research institutes and oversight agencies have revealed that ICE has arrested, detained, deported and issued detainers — requests to local jails to hold a person in custody — for thousands of citizens since the agency was created in 2003. One 2011 study estimated that roughly 1 to 1.5 percent of deportees are U.S. citizens.

A third of eligible voters didn’t vote. The remaining people who did vote were almost evenly split. So, in rough numbers, 1/3rd of American voters put us all in this mess.

It can be a very interesting conversation starter. I love hearing about the places people grew up, and how they ended up in the place they currently live. It’s a much better topic than the small talk about work or TV shows or whatever else people discuss the first time they meet.

In America, you first become a legal permanent resident (we would say you have a “green card”). Once you have lived here for five years then you can apply for citizenship. The whole process is slow and can be somewhat arbitrary.

Another option is to enlist in the US military. After serving for several years you can get preferred status for citizenship.

As others said, this is a difficult time to be an immigrant in America. The current government is arresting and deporting legal residents based on flimsy accusations. You should consider waiting for Trump to be gone, or look at other countries.

I think this entire calendar is direct translations. Other pages have seemed incorrect after I looked up unfamiliar words. Though my Spanish is not good enough to catch the errors most of the time.

¡Tú! ¡Sí, tú! ¡Estarse quieta, chaval!

In my head I’m trying to yell it in that same rough accent. It sounds menacing.

If it wasn’t already abundantly clear, the current administration gives zero fucks about the judiciary.

Yes. About 75% of Google’s revenue is from ads. Most (all?) of their free products exist to feed the advertising business in one way or another.

“Yinz” if you want to be sophisticated.

It’s crazy to me that the feature sizes on chips are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. Chip designers have not been able to inspect their work under a regular microscope for decades.

I swear it says „Barbaras Rhabarberbar" in there somewhere.

Not like commercial AM/FM radio stations playing music, but radio in the more general sense. 5G cell phones and satellite-to-earth communication systems use that frequency range, for example.

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are both “ISM bands.” These are frequencies that regulators have set aside for unlicensed use.

Fun fact: 2.4 GHz is free to use because of microwave ovens. Microwaves are really noisy around 2.45 GHz. Rather than try to regulate their radio emissions, or make people license their kitchen appliances as radio transmitters, the FCC allocated that patch of spectrum for free use. Any device that can tolerate the noise can use that bit of the radio spectrum.
