I just half-wish there was some in some way a type of penalty for making a call and getting it wrong. ”Sorry. The person you snitched on is a actually citizen. Congratulations, you are now the sponsor of person(s) X from country X. Thank you for calling” or something.

Sorry for a stupid question, that may be covered in the article or have an otherwise obvious answer, but when did they (federal or state?) build or how long has this wall, or this section of the wall, been up? Thanks.

Not going to put this well*, but are there any advantages optics-wise for this department or for police in general if this guy is out of uniform, not part of the police, when (based on available info it better be when) he is arrested? Other than the obvious does firing this guy work in anyone’s favor?

Finally had a chance to read the original Wired article. If I understood what I read the group pictured are the Sthacks and they are the subjects of the article. The women mentioned in the article are not Sthack members but are the president and members of the larger official hacking group that the Sthacks also belong…

“On Thursday, Wired published a lengthy piece on a group of precocious, tech savvy students at Northeastern University with the title, ‘Meet the NU-Nerds: These College-Age Hackers Will Soon Shape Our Future.’ Surprise—it’s a group of young men.”

Thank you.

Not clear about something - did Wired assemble/choose/create the pictured and profiled group from the student body or were they a group that already existed? I really do not care about the use of the overused by everyone about every subject “Meet the X’s Who Will Shape Our Future” type title as much as how the group…

Out of curiosity if asked how would anyone who is a citizen prove their citizenship? You can be a non-citizen and still have a DL/state ID, SS card, own property, pay taxes, etc., so those are not proof of citizenship. What steps or standards, what documentation, have the police been told to accept to prove current…

On top of just seeing Hannah Storm’s name mentioned in connection with this I am really surprised they cut Jay Crawford. Not that he was the best they had but I thought he was an all round solid host, could be thrown in to anything.

Like a few other folks here I am not sure how this story is meant to make me react. While I am not usually on the side of deporting most folks (for the most part I think the folks who are already here should be able to stay) I am not seeing (maybe understanding?) that any of the authorities involved did anything…

(Not putting this well but) Forgetting just how ridiculous/stupid this is, in this situation (and most others) how do they think people will work out that someone is or is not an immigrant of any kind? What kind of calls are they expecting to get, and from who (or whom)?

Surprised by the inclusion of Hannah Storm in any way in this. I have not caught any of her segments for a while now but the way folks talk about her work I would have thought she was safe.

“Federal funding that bears no meaningful relationship to immigration enforcement cannot be threatened merely because a jurisdiction chooses an immigration enforcement strategy of which the President disapproves,” the order states.”

Just a thank you for this explanation. Still not sure I buy going after the pharmacies, at least for all the past actions, but at least I understand the why behind it.

Sorry for a question that may have already been covered and I missed it but why are insurance companies or government agencies (both local and Federal) not included in this lawsuit (or are they and I have missed it)?

Honestly while watching Furious 7* I just assumed**, given the popularity of the actors, that they were setting the Deckard character up to be a one-man Dirty Dozen/Suicide Squad, or It Takes a Thief, type spin-off, and Hobbs was separately going to get his own spin-off franchise. Never thought they would team them up…

Eventually? I honestly do not know how it works but GotG has already made the rounds of HBO, etc., and has been on heavy rotation on the FX basic cable channels for a while now (though I am amazed that in stores I have not found the DVD’s or BluRay’s marked down after all this time).

For the “If you’ve never had nugget ice before” folks, who may basically just be made up of me, out of curiosity what gives the ice its special texture? Is it just the temperature the ice is made/held at plus the size or is there something else at play, like (I obviously do not know but) the way the machine tumbles…

Too late to edit - please ignore this post - it was meant to be posted on StillCopperboom’s thread.

Maybe Drake having Pepsi rather than Coke is a Canadian or a regional thing? Friends I have in Canada swear that U.S. Coke tastes better than U.S. Pepsi but it is the opposite in some places there, with Pepsi being better. Around here I have to admit that I dislike local Coke but like the Coke imported from…
