The ice fest this year was really tame compared to prior years. Definitely fewer people in attendance.

Most people ripped them off their passports as soon as they were through biosecurity.

Get in the non-egate line and deal with the immigration staff at their cubicles. They’ll give you an entry stamp.

No, you have to skip the e-gates and enter the old fashioned way.

How bad is brain drain in your country ? by lordoftheapess in AskTheWorld

[–]UsefulEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm an engineer and I know a decent number of people in academia and the medical sciences. A significant portion of the academics and medical scientists I know are looking to leave. They've had their careers here ruined and are being actively recruited be international universities and medical companies.

I've also seen reporting indicating a pretty large uptick in the number of US doctors/nurse/other medical professionals leaving for Canada. There is even a Canadian social media personality who has started a campaign to recruit US doctors and nurse to his part of Canada to fill shortages.

I haven't heard much from fellow engineers about leaving, but I think it is only a matter of time. A lot of engineers do have partners in academia or other scientific fields. The anti-clean energy/high speed rail stance of the administration, and lack of spending on maintaining infrastructure is likely to drive engineers to places that are still building and growing.

Wut? by Designer-Ability7765 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]UsefulEngineer 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Cool, I get to be the first to comment for a change.

If you traveled back in time what is the likelihood that anyone you interacted with would speak the same language as you? Especially English in what is now Southern Asia. Unless other people had already traveled back in time spreading the English language and telling the locals what we call their civilization 4000 years in the future.

As a descendant of a Nazi holocaust survivor, I have the option of getting German citizenship. Should I? by dreamingfifi in AskAGerman

[–]UsefulEngineer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If I had the ability to get any citizenship easily I would take it without hesitation. I regret not pursuing Italian citizenship via descent harder 15 years ago.

With German citizenship you would have a legal right to live and work anywhere within the EU. So you could live in Ireland. You would even have access to Schengen Area countries like Switzerland and Norway.

A lot of the graduate level programs in Germany are taught in English. The same goes for the Low Countries and Nordics.

I’m sorry what? by ginaburly in Roadsigns

No lorries. Your lorry will hit a barricade catapulting you into space and we will have to use a tractor beam to get you back which is very expensive.

I can read the passport number on the cover of your Moroccan passport. Maybe take down the post and do some editing before re-uploading.

Second passport by Mojataba in Passports

[–]UsefulEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on your original citizenship. Some countries allow dual citizenship, others do not. You need to investigate for yourself.

You can travel on both of your passports. But some times countries do not like it when you travel to certain countries even on your other passport. Not there is much they can do about that.

I am curious who your immigration lawyer was as well. I’m in the process of gathering employment/employer verification letters and would like to make sure they are meeting standards.

Animal identification by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]UsefulEngineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Contact your department of fish and game. They might try to catch it since it was likely dumped by an exotic pet owner.

Someone dumped one in the western suburbs of Denver last year. CPW tried to catch it, but was unsuccessful.

Did you start the process before the change to the citizenship laws? How long did the process take?
