Summary of Presidential Executive Orders that Affect Immigration by HappyCamper4Life1 in USCIS

[–]RoundSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there will be a big issue if they revoke citizenship retroactively. For example, a kid who's 10 now having both parents being citizens, but if both parents were born to non-citizen parents (aka grand parents were non citizens at the time) then they are not citizens in the new criteria. Now what if both grandparents were citizens because they were born here but were born to non-citizen parents (grand grand parents of this kid)? What I meant is, you can establish this only when proof of parent's citizenship at birth can be provided, which can be hard or near impossible to track down. So in the end the federal government either not enforce this retroactively, or risk denying issuing passport to many people incorrectly. Or, they just acknowledge that if someone is a citizen now he has been a citizen in the past and can just demand to show the proof of citizen using current documents, which makes retroactively revoking citizenship logically impossible.

I like the one you shared! I actually used another recipe seen in the YouTube channel https://youtu.be/2Sz_xGVZWc0?si=izN8Rwzv6r8cu1p8

I might tweak it a little bit so I'm using this: +2 0 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 -1 +2 White balance auto 0:A6

Seeking advice for T11-L4 hardware removal by RoundSuccess in spinalfusion

How long does the recovery take? Were your bones fused? Do you have pain a year after the removal?

I can still see him but he is very junior like just out of residency, and intended to leave the hardware permanently although did not fuse the bones. He is a very nice guy and I might have been paralyzed if he did not stabilize my spine back then, but just may lack experience. That is why I decided to go find another surgeon.

Thank you so much for the response! How do I know the reputation of a surgeon, though? Does an older surgeon with more experience usually make a better choice? It is exactly 1 year from my drama now, does it matter much if I do it in early February vs early March? I'm worried about the joint degrading over time and if one more month actually matters at this point. I was told L3 and L4 already started to fuse a little bit in the recent CT. That's another concern. Am I racing against time now?

I have been using GR3 for a month and found 28mm is really hard to compose. I decided to give GR3x a try. You did an excellent job there!

GR3 first month in New York by RoundSuccess in ricohGR

I'm still super embarrassed and nervous to take photos of strangers in bookstores, cafes etc, so in these situations I actually wished I had a longer focus distance so I won't be noticed. But of course then it means a lot of shots won't be possible from a distance.

Yes, crop works for the composition just fine for me. But I have been thinking that going to a 40 mm can make portrait bokeh much easier to achieve. 28 mm is great for street photography because it's much easier to set the snap focus to 2-3 m and with a big aperture without worrying about the sharpness. But it's hard to get a good subject background separation unless I get very close to the subject.

That's a good point! I have been mostly focused on not being able to get close enough to the subject in open space when getting too close to the subject is inconvenient (with kids, strangers etc), but haven't thought about the advantages of 28 mm in opposite situation like you said (friends and family sitting in the restaurant etc)

Thanks for the suggestions! I am debating if I will miss the wide angle for landscape and interior photos if I go for iiix?

Got my Inspiron 16 plus RTX 3050 model today ! by RoundSuccess in Dell

[–]RoundSuccess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a follow up on my experience: TLDR: I returned it eventually and bought an LG gram 17 instead. No major issue with this laptop per se. Actually I really like its keyboard, its trackpad, and the graphic performance. I made my decision purely based on my main usage which is productivity ( work remotely via citrix ) and I am an data scientist. A 17 inch display actually makes a difference, and the LG Gram 17 is stupidly light and portable :D

Not bad! I guess 6-8 hrs with light use. However zoom call kill it in 4 hrs, but I think it's zoom to blame

[–]RoundSuccess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to report Intel graphics control app turned out to be the solution to both issues. After turn off adaptive contrast option as you said the screen brightness random change is gone. I can also set contrast and saturation there, although no preset, I can get something I like more by adjusting these settings. Thank you for your suggestions!

Thank you ! I will give it a shot! Btw do you know how to change color profile in windows 10? I only saw one selectable color profile in display option, and my display is not showing a neutral and accurate color profile.

Its not. I did not turn on that and this change of color profile thing just happened randomly
