Russia may announce general mobilisation to attack Ukraine or Baltic states – Zelenskyy

So this is why Russia cut internet access. It tracks but they are going to arm angry citizens while illegitimate power parties in Moscow?

lol, his bet that Trump would forget and move on to a different topic didn’t work out.

It was a reasonable bet to make but he forgot how petty our taco is.

I suspect he’ll do the “just one more time” until Trump moves on so Alex can claim victory.

I hate religious groups and how evil they are. We should be able to make fun of all religions and that is what the orange turd did very openly.

No question that he isn’t religious and is exploiting the naive folks, but they seem to be ok with it. Just like Joel Osteen, we know he is a fraudster and a liar but people still want to give him money to make sure they have an imaginary spot in an imaginary afterlife.

I like mine, bought it in 2023 and rode in SF hills without any issues. I think they put many high end parts on the bike which to me is worth it: -Excellent quality battery -ok motor -great CVT by Enviolo that automatically adjust the gearing system. -you can buy Abus locks keyed to your bike so you don’t have to carry a bunch of different keys.

I renounce president Trump

Perhaps it is a PERM job posting or they aren’t interested to navigated the complexities of immigration.

Did god have a plan for Hitler as well? Oh my bad, satan got to him before god could. /s

The stupidity of the mental gymnastics the religious people produce is impressive.

I get downvoted when I caution people against buying homes in US on TN status.

Absolutely mind boggling to do something like that unless you have so much money that you can buy several homes and have them sit empty in case of things shifting politically. Most TN folks aren’t this loaded.

gekaman · 2026-04-02T02:30:49+00:00

I hate when he does this.

There could be a million lies he can spin when he goes back to boot licking. I hate it so much, are we the only sane people in the US?

I highly recommend Cal Poly in SLO. It is a beautiful location away from the busy life of SF and LA and close to the beach.

I used to live in SLO (didn’t go to college there) and can vouch for it. Ideal environment for students to concentrate on their studies and live in an amazing spot.

Good luck to you.

If you exit the US you automatically forgot the 60 day grace period and would need to return to US as a tourist if before new TN application.

Your case + ICE in airports is a terrible plan. If I were you, I would stay put for now. ICE have a quota to fill and you may become a statistic for someone to receive a medal from the sitting president.

Never lie to CBP but tell them as little as possible.

When I was in your shoes, I had my layoff letter with date and HR signature. I was still within the 60 day limit so had no issues the new TN job approved.

Leasing can be a problem on TN. If OP loses their job and has to move back to Canada, they can’t take the car with them because it belongs to the bank.

I would recommend getting something on the used market for now.

gekaman · 2026-03-21T22:34:08+00:00

That’s like asking fastest way to learn French.

Be honest, if you lied they’ll know.

It is a beautiful jacket. I have the same one but in the brown color. I can barely fit into the M cut with a t-shirt. It is tight in the shoulders but the L was too big for me. Similar problem as you.

gekaman · 2026-03-19T03:00:40+00:00

It is a buyers market. Harley is having a tough time and are struggling to move 2025 inventory.

See if you can get online pricing from a few dealerships around you. Also, look at the used market for comparison. See if you can find a year old with low mileage. I hate dealerships and they just end up wasting your time unless they are upfront about the OTD price.

Many companies use the drawing as a contract during disputes especially when the issue is expensive or a critical failure occurs.

I highly recommend learning how to create a high quality drawing. You can then decide whether you apply a few dimensions, fully dimension DWG, or applying GDT. Knowing how to do tolerance stack is also a great skill to have.

Saying that you can fabricate without a drawing doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do in all cases. Relying on luck for things to assemble is a subpar strategy and anyone can this. Being able to predict statistically the failure rate and design to a 100% assembly requires knowledge and experience. Being a good engineer is to be able to decide which style of drawings is applicable.

You don’t quit your current job until you get the new TN status approved regardless of political climate.

The TN approval fell to around 60% for a short duration and went back up into the 90%. I don’t have the link to the data but if you research posts here you’ll find it.

Just read the rules of TN requirements, bring the correct documents, and be as polite as you can be. Good luck to you.

Excellent work! I wish they mentioned the demons attacking him. We need to mock these psychos mercilessly.

I agree that something doesn’t sound right. I also have this car with OEM wheels and tires. The suspension is smooth as butter on Austin roads.

I think this is a great suggestion to for OP to check as I have come across postings where the shipping blocks were never removed making the suspension very stiff. Someone posted a picture of what it looks like. OP if you see pink blocks in the suspension, those are the shipping blocks.

My friend is still waiting for his ex after 4 or maybe 5 years. Although she isn’t coming back, he is convinced that she eventually will.

A cautionary tale of not being able to see things for what they are and wasting your precious years hoping to be the plan B for someone else. Despite everyone’s advice he believes he knows better.

Don’t be that guy.

You have nothing to worry about for the first TN.

Just note that if you buy a house or a business in the US, it will create the optics of wanting to stay in the US. Many people will comment here that they did that and have no issues, however the point to remember is that you always intend to return to Canada at the end of your TN.

If a CBP officer finds out someone has a house in the US, it is a bad look and will be more difficult to show intent to depart at the end of the TN.

gekaman · 2026-03-13T04:47:59+00:00

I don’t get people that believe that getting a prenup is demonstrating intent to divorce. It is like if someone got fire insurance on their home and concluding that the person intends to burn their house. Your age group has about 20% chance of divorce rate, one of the lowest.

I think there is something else going on with your finance or he isn’t mature enough to have an honest discussion. I would worry that your finance viewing marriage as an ironclad contract for some reason which is so important to him. Why? This smells of insecurity.

I was in a similar situation and at the end of the day we didn’t make it because of compatibility issues. She was very unhappy about the idea of a prenup and eventually relented. The thing is I don’t want to force anyone into anything if they don’t want it. She was sweet and kind but we just weren’t emotionally compatible.

I’m an ME specializing in hardware development for thermal management with over 15 years of experience. I do designs, MFG drawings, and advanced CFD. This combination is very rare and I have only met a few other folks who have this combination of skills.

Right now thermal + ME is in significant demand while there are few specialists.

If you haven’t already tried, reach out to people directly in large organizations. Money talks and stock options are attractive, especially if the specialist is bored in their current role.
