I liked this part of the story:

"Kasper Erikesen, a Danish father of four and green card holder who made posts supporting Trump, was among those detained while actively trying to become a U.S. citizen. "

This is so fucked up. The wife was brought in illegally when she was a minor by her mother. Her mom applied for asylum to make their status legal but missed an immigration hearing 7 years ago, triggering a deportation order. After getting married she applied for a green card like she was supposed to do, but instead they are going to deport her based on her mom’s mistake.

She didn’t choose to come to the US, didn’t choose to do so illegally, didn’t choose (or even know about) her mother missing an immigration hearing, and didn’t choose to stay even though there was a deportation order because she didn’t know about the order. She followed the rules and is being punished.

So you don’t agree with granting amnesty to kids brought over illegally by their parents? You’re fine with them suffering for the actions of their parents?

He’s from the country that murdered thousands of native children, so he therefore fully supports murdering children who aren’t white.

Yeah, I think the word “star” is a bit of an embellishment. He might have been the star of his highschool team or a starter in college, but by 19 if you aren’t on a pro roster then you aren’t a star. You can become a pro later in your life after college, like many in MLS have, but almost none of them are stars.

EDIT: Found it: he was the star of his highschool club team but didn’t even get any offers for college. His club coach is trying to get him a college offer to help him get back to the US on a student visa. That’s really far from being a “star.”

My legal opinion is they are FABULOUS!

I think it would be a hard case for a serious lawyer to make that a man wearing women’s clothing is obscene (or vice versa), seeing as PG rated movies have had men dressed as women for decades. That doesn’t mean the AG here won’t decree it, just that it should be easy to challenge in federal court.

No. The answer is only no.

There are so many excellent reasons to visit the US… just not necessarily right now.

Our cities are fun to explore and have great restaurants and museums. Most need a car to explore, unfortunately, but some don’t. Our nature is honestly amazing. From forests to deserts to mountains to beaches to lakes and rivers. Yes, other places have some of those, but not many countries have all of those.

Longhorn… the hype was strong with that one. I don’t even remember what the hype was about, just that Longhorn was supposed to be amazing.

Shoot one millionaire? Terrorist.

Shoot two Democratic politicians and their families and dog? Just a Saturday.

Italy is even worse than France for this kind of thing. More than a few times I’ve found myself on streets that DEFINITELY were not car streets, but Google maps sent me there. Florence was the worst for this. I’ve also found myself on streets in Italy that only very very narrow cars could fit down because of Google maps. I had to reverse down a long alley because it kept narrowing and narrowing until even with the mirrors pulled back it was narrower than my rental car (with a small car in front of me pissed off because I was blocking her).

Germany also has a lot of pedestrian/restaurant squares that do allow cars but only early in the morning or late at night, but there are no signs saying WHEN those times are. And I needed to drive through those squares to get to my hotels, so that was interesting a couple times.

I work with the Space Force, and we were all having a good laugh at the AI generated image of the F35.

I would have wagered a guess they would use this as pretense for overturning everything Biden did while in office, but Trump has seemingly already done that with his daily Executive Orders.

Instead, maybe they are trying to pin some responsibility on Dems they want out of whatever position of power the Reps want to control.

Or you can just tell us why, instead of being insulting and vague about it. Hell, you didn’t even link which episode has the information you say he is ignorant for not knowing about.

This post says he voted for Trump

Do you think the people who didn’t vote are somehow doing better than the ones who did vote?

So when I get home from a 200 mile round trip to the desert on Sunday night, I have roughly 20 miles of range on the Bolt. If I can add 40 miles of range to my car overnight (10 hours of charging at 4mph), that gives me 60 miles of range to do a 20 mile round trip commute. But what if I want to go to the Dodgers game after work? Or if I need to run a bunch of errands after work that I skipped while in the desert? People want their car to be able to go places when they want to go places.

You are talking to me as if you think I didn’t own multiple full EVs as my only car for over 6 years. I lived with a 90mile range Toyota Rav4 EV without DC fast charging and took it on road trips. I also lived with that car without L2 charging for a month. That month was miserable, and I would have never kept that car if I didn’t upgrade to L2.

If you have a second car, then you don’t need a 300 mile range EV and also don’t need L2. If you have a very short commute and don’t do anything after work or on the weekends, then you don’t need L2.

This is incredibly chilling.

That depends on what is meant by usually. You seem to think it means “most daily situations,” but I think it means “most house installations.” Yes, a usual day in a person’s life does not require L2. But the usual person does require L2 if they want to use their car like most people prefer to use their car. Once a week I need L2 charging because of all the stuff I do that isn’t commuting. That is 1 day in a 7 day week, so usually I don’t need L2. But I would not be able to have an EV if I didn’t have L2 unless I had a second car (which I don’t have). I think most people fall into this category, so the usual person needs L2 even if they don’t usually need L2.

Congrats on finding a solution that works for you. I have a short commute (16 miles round trip) and was OK to use L1 charging on a “usually” basis. However, I do more things in my life than just going to work and back. After work I might drive another 90 miles round trip to meet some friends at a brewery. Or I might drive only a couple miles to a buddy’s house and not get home until 11pm, so I now only have 7 hours to charge at L1 instead of 12 hours. And on weekends when I’m maybe driving a couple hours to hike in the desert and come back, I now have 16 hours to charge for work on Monday after driving 210 miles round trip.

Switching from L1 to L2 charging at home made driving an EV go from a daily chore to something I almost never thought about.
