  • Have you ever had a passport in your dead name?

    Have, yes, up until about three years ago. Natural born US citizen.

    My concern is about the coming back into the country after vacation. All the other times we've gone through (many, many), it's been smooth sailing, everyone just hands over the passports, person at the desk matches face with picture (they match), we go home.

  • Well, yes, but how does that play out in practical terms, at customs and border control on the way back in to the country?

  • The federal judge directed prosecutors to produce to defense lawyers all grand jury materials from the case.

    This does not happen very often, I don't think.

  • How would this affect someone who's done top surgery, name change, birth certificate change, all ID changes, and already has a valid passport?

    e: Not a rhetorical question, I would like to know.

  • Firearms for defense are for eliminating an imminent threat. Over a year ago now, I estimated that an imminent threat of some kind was not out of the question. I didn't know exactly what then, but I could feel it in my bones. I live in a reasonably safe almost rural area; my estimation was based on the political climate. I am sad to say that I am only more certain now that I will need to eliminate an imminent threat at some point.

    Although I didn't know what an imminent threat would look like, I felt it was important to have a firearm then because if you wait until you need a gun, it's way too late. I wanted to acquire, practice, make sure everything was working properly, practice, take classes, practice, get the right holster, practice, get comfortable, practice, stock up on ammo, and did I mention practice?

  • Placeholder comment for later.

  • I'll usually see $100, but $150 isn't insane, especially at a truck stop. It's just pending, because they don't actualy process the charge until they close the books later, at which time the actual amount is cross-referenced with the pending amount, the pending amount is canceled, and the actual amount is charged.

    tl;dr: Don't worry about it.

  • But they promised there would be a vote on healthcare! They promised!

  • It shall be called the Maillard Era.

  • If there’s only 200K people left, everything is going to be fine … for them.

  • When someone who's in your daily life gives you a gift, you:

    • Don't return it
    • Don't tell them you want to return it
    • Don't hide it

    Can't say much more without knowing what the thing is.

  • For comparison, Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserve at 303 billion barrels.

    Winter is coming.

  • It’s from the “street smarts” John Mulaney comedy bit, but in all seriousness—

    If an attacker insists on transporting you away from where the initial attack occurred, you are going to die. Fight back like your life depends on it, because it does.

  • They’re called “Fork me ups”, I think they knew.

    Oops.

  • Good.

  • I’m told he’s also lifted the tariffs on tacos.

  • I mean, we can start there, sure.

  • That's the one.

  • Never go to a secondary location.
