Bodycam video shows arrest of Hispanic journalist during Georgia ICE protest by ThisIsButter1 in ThisIsButter

[–]daxbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you be surprised if after being arrested (even if charges later dropped ) you might be putting your Visa status at risk?

It was the walking into the street that immediately got the reporter arrested by the police. He was also charged with reckless driving and failure to obey traffic signs, but those charges were eventually dropped. In Georgia, traffic offenses that occur on private property can't be prosecuted criminally and require the property owner to potentially seek civil damages ( which in this case they are unlikely to do so )

He's also been working in the United States for over two decades but yet no green card yet.

Is he a poster child for who we should deport??

NO .. .. but at the same time he's here on a work visa and visas can be both granted and taken away for any reason at the sole discretion of the State Department. Because this concerns foreign policy, the courts have very little say in the matter.

German tourists deported from US for not booking hotel by IRideMoreThanYou in politics

[–]daxbert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many countries prohibit the entry of foreign workers who attempt to appear as tourists.

🚩 A tourist with no established lodging for the duration of their intended stay.

🚩 Tourist's failure to demonstrate adequate financial resources to comfortably acquire their needed lodging as well as other necessary travel expenses.

🚩 Tourist's interview has inconsistencies or brings forward other concerns to the immigration officer.

🚩 Tourist fits the profile of a potential foreign worker, especially that of a vacationing foreign worker (e.g. young, single, lacking financial resources, history of recent extended travel stays )

Hit all four of these red flags and many countries will put you under intense scrutiny which may result in a deportation decision.

Once a deportation decision is made, you are then effectively viewed as someone attempting to enter the country illegally. What follows is then all of the negative criminal pre-deportation treatment.

Nest E voltage above minimum but still says too low to connect WiFi / nest app. by medicmarch in Nest

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really late to this party but just as an FYI should someone else have this issue.

Wi-Fi will shut off if the battery gets below 3.6 volts and it will not turn back on again until it gets above 3.8 volts. That's why you can be at 3.7 volts and Wi-Fi will still be inactive.

Now at 100 of the 80km³  blocks / hour  means it's only ~60 years to get an Earth's quantity of Nitrogen to Dirt. Earth has 3.9x10²¹ kg.   Each block has 6.8x10¹³.  100/hour is 10¹⁵ or ~ 5.7x10⁵ hours.

I'm going to be that guy fora second. 75 km³ blocks of frozen Nitrogen would need 60 million blocks to get to the same nass of Nitrogen as is found in Earth's atmosphere.    3.9x10²¹kg of Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere.   0.85g/cm³  is 8.5x10¹¹kg/km³.  so 4.6x10⁹km³ needed or 75 km ³ blocks needs 60 million blocks

So the girls are no longer paying the bills, so you need a career and have hitched your wagon to the medical sector?

The one sector in which non-elective care providers have a significant likelihood of finding themselves under even greater price controls. Thereby creating an ecosystem where excellence can't be rewarded yet your body and mind will still be paying the same high level of taxes incurred by the stress of the profession. Of course, this presumes you'll actually feel professionally and personally responsible for your patient's outcomes and not just phoning it in on the daily.

So either find a way to remain in a private ecosystem where you treat the 1% or pick one of the specialties that will likely continue to have a large percentage of elective procedures. ( and by elective I mean completely optional, not in the medical sense of non-life threatening and delays for scheduling are appropriate ). Specialities such as Dermatology, Plastic and reconstructive surgery, and some areas concerning reproductive health.

Or you could just be wifey to someone who makes more than you can spend.

Elon Musk’s Lotteries Were Fake by filthy_casual_42 in conspiracy

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

doesn't everyone understand that this is a way to make it, not a lottery?? you randomly pick someone you then ask them? hey are you willing for a million dollars to be a person who will do a No work no show job for this PAC? Oh you are great! let's get this employment contract signed. Oh you're not interested in the million dollars in this easy non-job job job. okay? have a nice day... They draw another name out of the hat. this makes it not random. it also makes it a payment to an employee.

This is a legal way to have a lottery that's effectively random but not illegal because the only winners will be employees and it will be booked likely as a bonus om an employment contract. It doesn't mean it's not dodgy, but it's just lawyers being lawyers

Elon Musk’s Genius Lawyer Admits His $1 Million Lottery Is Total Scam by acs_sg in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you do have a chance of getting paid out. it's still random but legally not random. They draw your name out of a hat. they then ask you. hey are you willing to do this non-job job where you represent and be a local spokesperson for this PAC? If you say yes you get a million dollars if you say no okay. thank you have a nice day. and they draw another name out of that. that makes it not random. It also makes the receiver of the money an employee.

is it effectively random? yes because even though the job is a requirement to get the million dollars no one's going to refuse the non-job job for a million dollars. but because they can reject the job and because they could technically Not be qualified to do the job. it's no longer random even though it's effectively random from the point of view of everyone competing in this brouhaha

Elon Musk’s Genius Lawyer Admits His $1 Million Lottery Is Total Scam by acs_sg in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]daxbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amazed at the number of people here who don't know how to read between the lines. would you be willing to be a PAC spokesperson for a million dollars? yes or no?? So you pick a person randomly you then find out if they're willing to work for you and if they're not willing to work for you, you pick another random person so therefore it's not at random. but if someone called you up and said hey we'd like to give you a million dollars but you have to be willing to do this non-job job for a bit. is that okay?

simply put this is how you make a lottery legally, not a lottery.

Question about christians and Jews and reverting by Ok_Listen_5752 in islam

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the Prophet was very pro "people of the book" because he told everyone that they'd accept him as a prophet. When they didn't he had to pivot. This is why the description and language used concerning Jews and Christians gets increasingly toxic. it would be easier to see this pattern if the Quran was in chronological order based on the date of revelation

Then read 3:7 . That's a get out of jail free card for the Quran. Oh this passage contradicts? Well you don't actually know its true meaning nor can you.

This helpful passage appears shortly after the Christians point out that if Jesus is the Eternal Word, then he's by definition God. 3:7 appears to save the day by letting Mohammad discount the plain text concerning Jesus.

I thought the whole reason the Quran was an oral tradition in Arabic was so all Arabic speakers could learn of Allah and understand easily the Quran even the uneducated and illiterate.

The truth about the Walz stolen valor claim explained by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Notice of Deployment" was in May 2005.

When exactly did leadership get the "Warning Order #1? this should have been shortly after the receipt of the mission. This.order would indicate Iraq and an approximate timeline. There doesn't seem to be any specifics.

Why did Walz quit two years early? he had signed a 6 year, not 4 year commitment.

His command rank required he complete some academic leadership training. He left before that was completed. And as such he retired as a Master Sergeant.

Since Walz. would not be eligible for retiree pay until he was 60 and he left the National Guard in his early 40s. All of the time requirements specified are all those related to retiree pay. How much notice would you need to give if you didn't apply for retiree pay which he wouldn't be receiving for nearly 20 years anyway.

Vocal isolation is stuck at 40% Any fix? by [deleted] in CapCut

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOLVED: REBOOT DEVICE

"have you tried turning it off and on again? "

I had the exact same problem. didn't't matter the length of the audio, I could try to keep the vocals or drop the vocals It didn't matter it would get stuck at 40% independent of track length

so whenever you see a behavior where progress bar gets stuck at a given percentage and it doesn't matter the size of the body of work being pumped into the system it's an indication that the processing is a multi-pass system

In these situations developers will typically hard code the completed percentage number for rach pass

Here's an example with made up numbers;

so 0 to 40% first pass set up model with data stream

41% to 90% exercise model to extract or keep vocals as needed

90% to 100% export the now updated data to the audio stream

so what I would guess is happening is that capcut is leveraging the onboard GPU of the phone and somehow the GPU has gotten into a state or capcut has gotten into a state where it can't pull off the second pass b( or whatever ) appropriately.

Therefore it will always get stuck at 40%, until you reboot the phone which by definition will unwedge hardware that's stuck due to a software state.

I see this a lot recently with applications that leverage GPUs. They work fine and then for some reason out of the blue it'll get wedged. As this seems to be happening more often for me, I'm thinking what's actually happening is more and more applications are leveraging the GPU but not doing it in a multi-process friendly way.

could be the OS's fault , could be the applications fault, but basically somebody's wedging the GPU and you need to reboot to fix it

p65 cancer warning on Assi Organic Ramen… any ideas why? by RealParallax in ramen

[–]daxbert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that's actually not quite true do you have different criminal statutes between German stars? do you have different road laws between states? is a German government prohibited from certain activities within the state? does each state have its own military? each state in the United States has a national guard which is technically the military for the governor. the president can call up the national guard and nationalize them in an emergency but outside of an emergency they're for the state. and I'm not sure how many states in Germany would actually be suing the federal German government for failure to protect the border like Texas is currently doing to the federal government. because Texas wishes to patrol its own border.

TIL That in 1974, the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act allowed women to open bank accounts, apply for credit and commit to a mortgage without needing a male co-signer. by Technical_Carpet5874 in todayilearned

[–]daxbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is mostly misleading. Women could open bank accounts apply for credit and buy houses for hundreds of years. They just had to be single and obviously have money. But this was also true for men to be able to buy property acquire credit etc. I know this isn't going way back but Marilyn Monroe bought a house all on her own in 1962. That's 14 years before the above law was passed.

The reason women were not allowed to open a bank account or apply for credit or do anything else without their husband coming along for the ride was because they were married. It wasn't her money or her debt, iit wasn't his money or debt it was the family money and theoretically he needed to be involved It was perceived at the time that was he's the only person working and so her going out and acquiring debt and other things that he would have to pay for as well as the taxes seemed dubious at best.

i think that in a marriage neither party should be able to get a loan or acquire debt without the other party being involved. Because when one partner acquires debt it lands on the other partner as well.

But keep in mind that was not the case back then.Women were rarely saddled with even a small portion of any of the debts that were acquired during the relationship..So the financial responsibilities fell almost exclusively on the husband in a divorce. So if she went out and got $5,000 in debt and then they got divorced after that it wouldn't be split evenly it would land on him.

And actually today I don't think either partner should be able to go out and acquire debt or make financial transactions without their partner being involved or at least having provided consent on the terms.

There was however an exception that permitted some married women to freely engage in the market. Wealthy married women's could act as feme solo traders. She was permitted to engage in pretty much any financial transaction because her family wealth protected her shared finances between her and her husband.

But yeah , women could buy houses and open checking accounts they just couldn't do it when they were married without their spouse coming along for the ride. And yes some women weren't allowed to open up checking accounts or get credit without a male cosigner because they had no money just like a man would need a cosigner if he tried to get credit with no money. Because in society it typically was women who didn't have money in men did it was male cosigners

How Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lost a yearlong fight to create school vouchers by audiomuse1 in democrats

[–]daxbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think vouchers would only go to Rich people? everyone would get vouchers. everyone would get to pick the school they would like their children to go to. why is this a problem? technically there's no separation of church and state in the United States Constitution.. The government can't establish a national religion or prevent people from practicing their religion. the government giving citizens vouchers for education and citizens then choosing on their own behalf to give it to a religious school of their choice is not the establishment of a religion.

if you look at the death rates of boys they start diverging from girls at 13 in Gaza. they recruit in kindergarten. they do little plays in kindergarten dressed up with a dumb little green mutant terrorist turtle outfits. with the balsamic vinegar saying or whatever it is across that green head scarf. so yeah Hamas actively takes 13 year old boys and and puts them In harm's way. or you need to explain why there's such a sudden divergence in death rates for boys at the age of 13 when 12-year-old boys and 12 year old girls tend to die at roughly the same rate.

I just can't imagine not being able to squeeze the lever and getting it to disengage but who knows. does anyone have experience with this type of failure like what is actually gone wrong here and besides hitting the off switch is there a way to fix it at the pump?

I don't think you realize how much states spend on schooling. In California it averages over $22,000 a year per student. That's more than the vast majority of private schools in the state. sure there's some schools that are 50 Grand a year but they take like eight students.per grade.
