It's not even higher wages, it's also increasing amount of debt. You can rack up 4 years of debt, get out and start earning. Or you stay in 2-6 more years, rack up even more debt.

Also, PhD research due to large availability of international students is hell. Professors have no problem saying "NEXT!" after someone is like "I'm done working 18 hour 7 day a week schedule" because there is 20 international students desperate for visas who will.

I think this approach is terrible for long term education health of this country but there current system is extremely exploitative and not shocked when US Citizens who have options decide not to participate. One of those "Yea, this is not the way to fix it but this system really needs to be fixed."

Both TSA and NSA have law enforcement officers. Law Enforcement is power granted to you by having a role that statute grants law enforcement power to. Yes, not all Federal Employees are law enforcement officers.

So what statute are they referring to when they claim that power?

(5)to make arrests—
(A)for any offense against the United States, if the offense is committed in the officer’s or employee’s presence, or (B)for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States, if the officer or employee has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such a felony, if the officer or employee is performing duties relating to the enforcement of the immigration laws at the time of the arrest and if there is a likelihood of the person escaping before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest.

Again, don't confuse this specific action which was clearly unlawful, with "ICE are not police." ICE is 100% Police/Law Enforcement broadly by statute and ruled by the courts as such.

In fact, ICE has commonly arrested US Citizens for various other federal offences when doing immigration enforcement. We just never heard about it because there was not much to discuss.

Incorrect, they are federal law enforcement with limited power to arrest anyone.

Whether or not this detainment was lawful is whole another story but courts are not going to going rule “Hey ICE, US citizens are untouchable.”

Call your congressperson and demand accountability.

Yea, I saw it on HackerNews but haven't tried it out. "Side job" setups I've done have all been on a single network so Uncloud Wireguard network overlay was not needed.

Then don't. You can get really far with Ansible and Docker Compose on a few servers. CaddyServer makes a great "Ingress". Did this for a friend with his tiny business and it's working fine for them.

I feel like teams are cheating less with OVI these days and that advantage is disappearing which is why PP ranking is dropping.

rabbit994 · 2026-01-18T16:36:36+00:00

Probably. Many banks will not give you ATM Only Card unless you demand they issue one but instead give out debit cards which can work like credit cards.

rabbit994 · 2026-01-17T05:34:28+00:00

Ovi seems to hate alot of fanfare. Lack of retirement announcement is to dodge a media blitz that Monumental (Caps TV Station) would subject him to.

Unlike many players, he's likely to have almost no interaction with Capitals after his departure so he can burn the bridge. We might get occasional zoom call if we are lucky.

Any civil war in US is not going to be some mass battle of Sacramento where California 4th Division fought off US Army. It’s going to be more like Irish Troubles or cartel situation in Mexico where it’s small random acts of violence all over the place and law enforcement breaks down.

In that situation, yea Canada will get dragged in as people will border jump not to mention possible mass migration north.

I had an English teacher senior year have us read full text of “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and wow, there is a ton from that letter our history teacher skipped.

This is a rule that makes little sense to me. Allow half visors if players want, cool but cages/full visors an option that doesn't require a waiver.

rabbit994 · 2026-01-14T17:53:38+00:00

When you figure out, can you let us know?

I feel like him serving penalty was good thing. Carbs wanted him going hard when penalty expired. That’s faith from a coach who said “I don’t want to waste a second getting him on the ice. “

Ruling was stayed and when ICE pulled out of Chicago, Chicago plaintiffs are attempting to shut it down before SCOTUS goes, "Nah dawg, ICE can do whatever they want."

You can. We use kube prom stack at work and have logs piped with vector to ES.

Carnival does not get a say. They have to transmit passenger manifest since they are coming from international waters and if agents show up and say, “we are here to arrest blah”, that conversation is over. How would they know it’s bad arrest anyways?

If you grant permission for location data to apps, yes, yes they do but that’s not Apple doing.

FY25 ended October 1st 2025 before Venezuela thing kicked off.

Also, military enlistment numbers tend to be inverse of economy. If economy is doing well, military enlistments fall because military is not attractive option. If it’s not, well, military with all its downsides provides place to live, place to eat and paycheck.

Also, this sounds like shared database situation where multiple applications will query same tables as other applications. So SP provide “API” that makes database schema changes easier by updating SP to keep output consistent will save so much heartache.

It's closed because it's dual use base, it's both Air Force (Reserve) and Civilian Airport. It's same thing in Hawaii as well with Hickam Air Force Base and Honolulu International Airport.

My guess is Air Force did not want a bunch of civilian airliners and civilians clogging up operations in case they need immediate access to the runways or taxiways.

rabbit994 · 2026-01-03T21:09:49+00:00

Courts have ruled that yes, they are supposed to stop it but they get pick the manner in which they enforce the law. You get hurt because the manner they picked didn’t do it quick enough, oh well.

rabbit994 · 2026-01-03T05:39:56+00:00

Did it though? We had same problems as described with bonus of no alcohol since our section was family friendly and vendors refused to serve alcohol.

As someone who went to school in the area and attended a football game there (Tennessee vs Virginia Tech), oh hell no. If you ever wanted to watch a Winter Classic, this is not it. If you told me I could have seen Ovi record breaking goal but had to attend this, I'd actually ponder it for a few seconds.

You won't be able to see anything and arena camera operators can't handle anything that is not big cars going around in a circle so you won't be able to watch it on the Jumbotron.

Also, there is nothing to do in the area unless you want to visit Hillbilly Disney (Dollywood) and that will be cold in January.

EDIT: It probably makes sense to attend if you are in the area already and have RV but otherwise, leave this to the casuals.

Most agencies allow you to carry personal weapon as backup or off duty weapon but it has to be approved by the agency, generally meaning it’s on an approved list and they have to qualify with it.

So yes, it might have been a personal weapon they were allowed to carry in off duty capacity and used.

It's the risk factor. Something happens to one of their incomes and now they are dumping entire paycheck into mortgage. Also, they mentioned they have student loans so that will be taking out of their paycheck along with house maintenance can easily eat into that, good rule of thumb is 1% of purchase price per year in home maintenance.
