  • Thanks for the additional examples!

    Is the last one (lion statue & building) a reprojection? I didn't see depth (or parallax) in the background, just between the lion and the building.

    Here are some fun ones of cerebral anatomy from neuroimaging.org:

  • Typical excuses of abusers, whether of one spouse/family or of a genocide:

    Typical Abuser Excuses:

     
            “I was just joking.”
        “I was having a bad [missile targeting] day.”
        “It won’t happen again.”
        “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
        “It didn’t happen like that.”
    
      
  • But you can blame the overly eager way it has been made available without guidance, restriction, or regulation. The same discussion applies to social media, or tobacco, or fossil fuels: the companies didn't make anyone use it for self destruction, but they also didn't take responsibility.

  • Vice President JD Vance, during a visit to Los Angeles on Friday, said [sanctuary city] policies have given agents “a bit of a morale problem because they’ve had the local government in this community tell them that they’re not allowed to do their job.”

    “When that Border Patrol agent goes out to do their job, they said within 15 minutes they have protesters, sometimes violent protesters who are in their face obstructing them,” he said.

    Keep protesting!

  • From the ACLU, it sounds like having an attorney's number and asking for a supervisor might have been helpful steps. Still seems like obvious free speech suppression by CBP though.

    Refusal by non-citizen visa holders and visitors to answer questions may result in denial of entry.

    If the officers’ questions become intrusive or improper, you should complain and ask to speak to a supervisor. (This goes for citizens, lawful permanent residents, or non-citizen visa holders and visitors.) Although CBP takes the position that you are not entitled to an attorney during primary and secondary inspection, we encourage you to have the telephone number of an attorney or legal services organization with you and ask to contact them if you feel your rights are being violated or if you have been detained for an unusually long period.

  • Sure, which served to help with cruelty and embarrassment, but there's no clear connection to some legal condition for deportation being met by finding anything on his phone. Possibly the CBP agent's bluff about drug use was easier to pull off with the phone in hand.

  • a couple hundred

    Are electricians very cheap where you live? In the US Northeast, I was quoted several thousand for an EVSE install that was about 30' from the breaker and had room in the panel. The hardware is only a couple hundred.

  • Me (interviewing recently): Could I see an example design doc or some code before we discuss your offer? Hiring manager: We don't do designs, just launch and iterate. And here's some code, it's all fully self documenting. Me: Nope nope nope.

  • Years ago, the family immigrated from El Salvador, in part to seek medical care for the 14-year-old, who has a debilitating heart condition. Three weeks before we spoke, the mother heard from a friend that ICE was looking for her. Ever since, she and the kids had been in hiding. They hadn’t left the house, afraid even to take out the trash. The boys had missed weeks of school and doctor’s appointments, living off food brought by relatives. The mother was trying to pass the time in a way that felt light for the kids, watching Superman and having pajama parties, but she could tell the boys were scared and stir crazy. They longed to go outside, to play in the park.

    Not much difference left from Jews hiding in cellars and attics.

  • If you're not part of a targeted class, it's privilege to be able to choose not to put yourself out there, saving yourself the worry of individual visibility while also feeling no risk of ongoing class/race based oppression.

    Unless your country is devolving into a fascist dictatorship and everyone will be carted off to concentration camps sooner or later for political expression.
