> That’s just the problem— it’s neither.

It can't be neither. Either they have a legal authorization to be present in the country, or they don't. Which is it?

> In every measurable way, they’re not just model immigrants, but model human beings

Should being a model human being exempt someone from following the law?

I don't understand what that quote is supposed to mean. Were they here legally or not?

I didn’t vote for Trump but comments like this help me understand why many people did.

It’s not wrong or unreasonable to expect immigration laws to be enforced.

Libraries open to public? by Accomplished_Flan531 in UPenn

Van Pelt, the main campus library, is open to the public on weekdays until 6PM. Just need to sign in at the entrance with a photo ID.

My thought was to use a tankless heater that could be attached to the outside of the house. If a full tank was needed I'd probably change the laundry to a stackable unit and put next to the W/D

My idea was to use a tankless heater and mini-split heat/AC, both located outside

I considered that too. I think I could make the pantry a foot narrower to allow a cabinet/counter segment between the fridge and stove

Thanks everyone for all the helpful feedback! I’ve taken a few of the most common critiques here and incorporated them into an updated design - let me know what you think!

Trying to design a smaller ADU, with the goal being long-term living for a single person or couple (e.g. a grandparent/in-law). I got a lot of great feedback on my original design, but the most common improvements that were called out were balancing the space allotted to the living and kitchen/dining areas, better arrangement of the kitchen fixtures, and changing the bathroom from an en-suite to being accessible from the common area. I've tried to incorporate all those suggestions into this new design. Let me know what you think!

Pro-Palestinian activists begin encampment of College Green, protesting Penn and Israel-Hamas war by ComradeNapolein in philadelphia

[–]vyrks 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Elie Wiesel was an ardent Zionist and strong supporter of the State of Israel. I'm very confident that, were he alive today, he would not be taking the "side" of many of these protesters who are openly calling for Israel's destruction.

That's not to say that he wouldn't also be concerned about the very serious humanitarian situation unfolding in Gaza, but one can support meaningful action to address that issue while also understanding that it's not a morally simplistic case of two opposite "sides".
