  • What do you think of the name Cliff?

    Jump

  • USA perspective: I have a relative with that name (short for Clifford) who died in the ‘60s. Good name. Not common any more but ready for a fashionable comeback.

  • Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it.

  • I'm telling you there are teachers out there who are amazing because they approach teaching without regurgitation and grade based progress.

    And you have to tell us that, because mostly we haven’t seen such teachers and wouldn’t otherwise know they existed.

  • Do you have a link to:

    It’s all on the Canadian immigration website and pretty easy to do

    ? The current info I have says to apply using the old forms requiring first-generation Canadian parent, wait for your rejection, and hope for an invitation at the discretion of IRCC to request discretionary grant of citizenship based on descent.

    No forms for this new process appear to exist and I’m not bloody likely to achieve a certified long form birth certificate for my great grandmother born in the 1800s so it leaves me feeling pretty uncertain about what documentation exactly is or isn’t good enough.

  • Where are you going this stuff from about extra steps for adoptive parents? I was just reading the CIC summary of new guidelines and it said adoptive parents count the same as birth parents. You just need to get a certificate of adoption or other proof that the adoption happened and proof that the adoptive parents were Canadian citizens at the time

  • And now we do this?

    I don’t think it was a choice exactly. The news I was reading said the Canadian Supreme Court rejected the first generation limit as unconstitutional.

    No source today, sorry. Brain is exhausted from documenting my Canadian ancestry in exhaustive detail all weekend.

  • Married people, do you have a wedding ring? Do you always wear it?

    Jump

  • Yes, and yes.

    At this point my wedding ring feels like a part of me. When I take it off and especially if I hand it to someday else that feels weird and alarming.

  • I have plenty of FireWire cables but I gave away all the computers that they plug into. Now I need a Lightning -> Thunderbolt -> FireWire 800 -> FireWire 400 -> iLink adapter chain and it would be cheaper to buy an old FireWire computer instead 🤦

  • Presumably if there’s a switch to turn it on then there’s also a switch to turn it back off again.

  • E-Bike Battery Swapping Expands In New York City

    Jump

  • I don’t get it, how can this work with today’s non-standardized batteries?

    Is there some kind of bike battery standard I don’t know about that supports enough different bike models to be useful?

    Are NYC delivery riders all using the same bike model?

  • Boiling it must kill the elastic on the white cotton underwear in fewer washes

    And the elastic on the fitted sheets.

    And.. sometimes I like to wear underwear with blue penguins on it..

    Granted it’s hygienic but the rest of the world appears to find regular soap and warm water to be sufficiently hygienic without boiling.

    I’m not saying Germans are wrong I’m only saying Germans are exceedingly more German than other people are.

    Jump

  • We don’t boil our clothes.

    Like, what the shit? That’s just you. Your underwear is not going to last very long if you treat it that way.

    Germans are weird about laundry.

  • Trump threatens ‘obnoxious’ tariffs as UK and EU seek clarity on trade deals

    Jump

  • Hm, I was thinking about the well-known quite “Justice Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it”

    But I looked it up and it a) came from a case that is way more nuanced and complicated and b) appears to be a made-up quote in the first place

  • I think Andrew Jackson has already established how that discussion goes. edit: no such decisive outcome as I thought actually happened
