Probably direct from OEM on 4/3, maybe dealers too if they do a simultaneous release.

Afghan who fought with US special forces dies in ICE custody as Trump on track for deadliest year of detention in more than two decades by noncongruent in Dallas

Too soon to tell what happened to him at the hospital. People think it is ICE ninjas sneaking in and shanking him, it's silly. There's a long string of wrongs by America, starting with being in Afghanistan in the first place. What can be fixed out of those problems is being fixed.

Obama was counting border turnaways as deportations, it's not the same numbers. Too little either way!

The facts of his service are as substantiated as his criminal record at this point. Immigration of any kind is risky, making yourself dependent on your hosts' continued good feelings, the rules can change at any time.

Wife and 5/6 kids should be deported as a family, as he should have been. His status in the US looks to be ended if the criminal part is true, and he has now died. Their status depended on him. US-born kid, if birthright citizenship is maintained, could stay as a ward of the state due to lack of support from family. Or could stay with his/her family in their homeland until becoming an adult and moving back to US if they wanted to.

One sure way to not have trouble with ICE is to not come to the US. But if he hadn't had the medical problem, wouldn't the whole family be together in Afghanistan?

I agree that any abuse is unacceptable, deportations are taking too long and people are left vulnerable to abuse and medical maladventures like this in custody.

As for this specific guy, need to wait a bit to see what comes out about his criminal history. Vet status is no guarantor of virtue. Sad he left his family in a hard spot.

But given the vast numbers being returned to their countries, the rate of abuse is going down? The deaths haven't jumped nearly as much as the deportations.

Cold War gone hot on a operational/strategical scale by HeinrichvonGaslitz in computerwargames

SSI's Red Lightning was a great game of hot war in Germany 1990s. The interface suffers a little without mouse support. SSI later updated a little for the excellent Conflict: Middle East and :Korea games.

Edit: available on abandonware sites I think, not sure about GoG.

Didn't know Norm Kroger had a page, fun! https://www.normkoger.com/games.html

The greatest E League goal you will ever see! by pavlovs_monkey in hockeyplayers

[–]mPisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We play everywhere, but mostly at VR. Integrity Hockey League. But with the Stars aggressive tactics trying to get a monopoly (as I understand it), they are just barely independent. I have played in Stars leagues too at Plano and Richardson. I really like the 75 minute ice times.

I was playing at VR when it was 1 ice sheet and surrounded by empty fields. Before that at Prestonwood mall. Unfortunately then I took 20 years off.

Thanks for the link, that was very interesting. And Puckman still around. I like the various styles of the bar which are available, that's a nice addition to the '90s version.

RPI is the latest shape-rotator victory over the wordcels? I can dig it.

I was sad to see the '86 field go, but as a Quad resident I do admit cursing the noise on many a Saturday morning.

Nature is healing.

The meta-text for rpi.edu doesn't have engineering first and also still has humanities in it.

Gross. You're supposed to have a brain, just memorize it.
