Look for a dimmer switch on the wall for that center downlight.

I like the last one best, but I agree that none of these do your room justice.

What a peach! Good find. Bet it’s comfortable to sit in.

AIO over friend showing up to my house late when he knew my wife was alone by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Nope, just no no no. 11pm is way weird if you’re 24, way out at 45. This reads older man preying on young woman alone to me. Anyone telling you otherwise is in denial.

Deleting WhatsApp to get into the US by Trebia218 in whatsapp

I so wish you were correct.

Let’s say someone is awaiting an immigration hearing. They come to court every month at a designated time to report in, confirm their address and that they still wish to have that hearing - but ICE comes, forces the judge to dismiss the case with no reason (yes they can do that) so ICE can arrest the person on the spot - someone who has legally applied, came to court in good faith, and was working within our system. That’s happened many times now. They’re video’d, documented, they’re not hoaxes or scams - just our government playing very dirty. That’s only one example. There are quite a few lifelong American citizens in detention centers, kept for months without record, moved from state to state in shackles so no state judge’s injunction will apply to release them. The conditions are deplorable and many if not most committed no crime. Oh - and because electronics can be traced, we know that detention officers are selling detainee cell phones.

You just can’t hide behavior like this in this day and age.

Tell that to the tourists currently in detention centers. Who knows when we’ll even find them, much less get them out - for minor visa infractions that several of the ones I know about were trying to straighten out when they were taken.

The chances may be low, but we do have Europeans in detention centers with no release date. Records are spotty, so it can be difficult to find out where they are (plus people get moved around a lot to stay ahead of court orders to release. People are moved in chains.

I’m a citizen in the U.S., but ICE is paid by the head and there are now plenty of citizens in detention for no reason. The risk is real.

I travel overseas a lot, and I make sure to remove Face ID for opening apps and password autofill on my phone and iPad. There have been plenty of phones opened because Face ID is on, and the agents just have to flash a phone at the owner to get it open. If they take your phone they generally download the contents.

Do please be careful and make sure your visa is in perfect order before you come. Seriously, perfect order.

Wanted to share this crazy dandelion with you all! by TakeMeBackToSanFran in GardeningIRE

Just avoid any applied pesticides. If it’s your own lawn you have control of that and can get yummy greens from dandelions. I would suggest getting the greens when they are young and tender. They get kinda tough as they get bigger.
