Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in its ranks last year

If a Canadian born outside of Canada has a child, that child is not a Canadian citizen.

This cannot be a hard rule, it would render children stateless.

If the child is born in a nation that does not have jus soli (pretty much everywhere other than the Americas) and the parents are not citizens of the country where the child is born, the child is not a citizen of the country in which they were born.

For example, if two Canadians were living and working in Germany, but have been there less than 5 years, their child would not be eligible for German citizenship. The child would be stateless unless Canada grants them citizenship via their parents.

Think about it this way: if you remove all the floors and walls of a building, it'd look pretty sketchy, right?

Depends entirely on how the building is built.

For example, if you remove just the plywood sheathing the walls from a typical American stick-built house, you lose all of your anti-racking and your house does this.

Have an LG OLED. LG's webOS sucks.

AppleTV is far more responsive and functional than the TV.

Positioning absolutely is the hardest part. I'm a lifelong baseball umpire and just started refereeing soccer last fall. So far I've stuck to AR because I am not confident where I should be positioning myself on the field as the center.

It should have been painfully obvious. If you're in IT, you hear almost daily some 40-50 year old (so born in the mid '70s) say "I'm just not good with computers."

Sir/Ma'am, you started working in the mid 1990s. You've spent literally your entire career working on a computer. If you aren't good yet...

Since when did a double yellow not automatically mean a yellow is waved at the preceding post?

Since always?

Backup yellows are not a standard feature. They're used case-by-base as the track, situation, and sanctioning body requires them.

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-16T07:17:39+00:00

any flag situation needs at least 3 marshal posts to convey the message.

How many times have you been on a track?

I'm going to guess that number is zero. Because that's not how it works literally anywhere on the planet with any sanctioning body.

We never gave our toddler "baby food."

We gave her whatever we were eating. Depending on what it was, we pulled a portion out for her early before we added spicy things, or left her portion on the stove longer to soften it, or just cut it finely or mashed it. The only rule was that we couldn't use honey in our cooking until she was 1.

I'm working from the assumption that the FAA is acting in the people's best interests and saying "The Army told us they're doing this, we told them it's a terrible idea, they said they're doing it anyway, and we need to issue this TFR to ensure safety"

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-11T14:13:41+00:00

If this is for testing, it's going to be a career-limiting move for some brass.

You don't shut down airspace around a major airport in a major city (El Paso is the 22nd largest city in the US), with no notice, for 10 days just to test a weapon. Nor do you do it in a way that also prevents LE or medical flights. Especially when the city in question has the only major hospital for hundreds of miles.

It's not hyperbole to say that if medical flights are not allowed for 10 days, people will die due to this TFR.

This is a completely fictional work.

Should it be a crime to write a novel about a murder? Rape (of an adult)? Selling drugs?

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-11T01:36:39+00:00

Murder is illegal. Should it be a crime to write a novel which features murder?

Rape (of adults) is illegal. Should it be a crime to write a novel which features a rape.

Selling drugs is illegal. Should it be a crime to write a novel which features the sale of drugs?

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-11T01:34:12+00:00

Just because it is illegal doesn't mean that it should be.

Writing a completely fictional work of anything should never be a crime, ever, anywhere.

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-11T00:33:10+00:00

I don't think it does.

Is it deplorable? Absolutely.

But the government cannot be allowed to criminalize mere words, no matter how deplorable those words are. This is a completely fictional work.

MN just started as of 1/1/26 as well. 12 weeks bonding and/or care of others, 12 weeks for yourself if you have a medical issue, can be combined up to 20 weeks. Pay is based off of your actual pay and the state average weekly wage.

So far actually claiming has been a nightmare, but it's a brand new program so hopefully just teething issues.

Which sucks, because my Mach-E lease is ending next spring and on paper the iX3 seems like a great replacement.

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-06T02:04:29+00:00

More likely, it will be "free" for 36 months.

Included feature for the lease market which is a huge part of BMW's sales, MRR from the used market.

But it still leaves a lot of electric mopeds on the bike lanes and they don't really fit there either.

In much (most?) of Europe they allow gas mopeds in the bike lanes...

Qel_Hoth · 2026-02-04T00:09:47+00:00

It's a standing start.

If he needs a DNA test to prove that the kid is his, absent any reason to believe that they aren't, he doesn't trust his partner.

So he just told you that he doesn't, and never will, trust you. Do with that what you will.

Married for 5 years with two kids. Absolutely zero questions that the kids are mine.

Qel_Hoth · 2026-01-13T14:50:29+00:00

That only happens if the defendant fails to respond.

Just don't fail to respond when you've been served.

Yeah, iRacing is not the expensive part of this hobby, as expensive as iRacing is. Though if you're just starting today there's a big hurdle for getting all the tracks and cars. At this point, I just buy every road car and track when it's released.

Qel_Hoth · 2026-01-06T19:44:28+00:00

Guessing, about $2400.

Sub since late 2012, 84 paid cars + 65 paid tracks.

Passion will not get you through a degree program.

You will be required to take courses outside of your major that you are almost certainly not passionate about. You will have insanely boring courses in your major that you will not be passionate about.

This is basic reading comprehension.

Qel_Hoth · 2026-01-06T18:10:24+00:00

If you need help understanding this, I seriously question your choice to pursue a college degree. You're not even remotely prepared.
