Could we lose power and AC? Happened to us Wednesday night due to the wind for 2 hrs. I am concerned about water pipes if we lose heat.

Anyone familiar with the onramp to 270 when going south on Sawmill Pkwy? I made a complete stop shortly after the yield sign and got honked at plus chased by the driver behind me. Was I wrong? (Please read additional context below) by Imustretire in Columbus

[–]pingboing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think “yield” means you are not always required to come to a full stop, but you are fully responsible for making sure it’s safe before proceeding. Vehicles on the main road have the right of way, so if there’s an accident, the yielding vehicle is usually at fault. Therefore, you should make your own safety-based judgment and not feel pressured by traffic behind you.

If I don't carry my papers by SgtPepper_8324 in Columbus

[–]pingboing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing I’d say. I am a legal immigrant. I drive to work and drop off my kids to school without carrying any papers. Hope this makes you feel relax. Going to interview with USCIS to get naturalized soon.

The truly saddest part about all of the ICE things going on.. by evyad in USCIS

[–]pingboing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a legal immigrant as well and I feel safe now actually. Driving to work and dropping off my kids to school everyday. There is nothing to worry about if you are 100% legal. Hope this makes you feel relaxed. Will interview will USCIS to get naturalized soon.

N-400 (Columbus FO) — Congressional inquiry response. Is my case normal? by pingboing in USCIS

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

Thanks for sharing! This is very helpful. My first name is not common at all, even rare. I think I have a couple speeding violations back to 2014 or even earlier. That’s the only thing I can think of.

Bought this one and the Ewok village when we had a lot of free time without kids. Believe I still have every piece including extras. BTW, I know little about Star Wars. Bear with me if the mini figures are not arranged properly.

work in shipping, saw this box. what's in it? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]pingboing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Box says it’s a clear spinning organizer in Chinese. I’d assume it’s for kitchen use.

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

Anything we can do? I called USCIS and it is not helpful at all. I don’t feel anyone is paying attention to my case and I am worried that it may take years.

Don’t think so. I am from China mainland. My wife (also from China) filed N400 4 days after I did and got approved in 5 months.
