Weird that some wanna make it sound like brimstone and fire without actually saying it. Our own intelligence community has stated that it is almost impossible to fully vet these folks and there are 1000 investigations with the FBI at present. There are apparently plenty of immigrants/refugees that don’t even have paperwork they’re supposed to have after being vetted while being here so I don’t know why at least a temporary furlong on this matter is even an issue.

Let them get it sorted and then complain if they don’t agree with some of the criteria.

I should add that this problem goes at least as far back as the Clinton Administration, probably farther, so it’s not like it’s a big lie or something.

LOL

So, I don’t know if immigration personally affects you, but I happen to live in a city that is very supportive of refugees, and has helped settle way more than the national average. I have good friends that work in resettlement. It is completely untrue that more needs to be done to vet refugees. It takes forever to come to the US as refugees. It is absolutely shameful the way politicians are using fear of terrorists coming as refugees for getting more support. The argument is easy to make, and sounds oh so wise “let’s just take a moment to make sure it is safe”. Well, it’s a very sneaky lie. It is already just about as safe as you can make it. I am sick and tired of hearing these uninformed, but well intentioned sounding statements. I say, let us do some good for refugees, and some good for the US, and keep bringing them in. Refugees make America stronger.

That certainly sucks, but thank god the new mobo was able to reuse the existing raid arrays. i have heard anecdotal horror stories about firmware mismatches causing issues with this. not a fun situation, but it could have been worse i guess.

how is your house cleanup going?

The roof has been sealed up, and the place is nearly back to normal.

That is good! I hope everything says ‘normal’ for quite some time. 😃

The idea that your future was robbed by Trump is like a parody of the most insane anti-Trump people.

Thank God it wasn’t a party of the most insane anti-Trump people. (Party as in celebration, not political)

apologies to Frink.

It definitely deserves a second viewing on kodi don’t pay

what a scummy thing to say. Seriously… i am shaking my head.

Star Wars VIII - you won’t believe what she just did with the force!

I am glad to hear your family is well, and I hope your home gets repaired quickly. I don’t know how things down there compare, but homeowners insurance can be a mixed bag to deal with here in the US (from what I hear).

Sending warm and safe thoughts to all in Mudgee.

Can’t disk utility burn ISO images?

I think I have an arcsoft media 5 that I no longer use, but that version is a few years old, night not support win 10?

Sorry, I didn’t read past that first sentence, it was a good opening.

The prequels can’t be redeemed. They can only be melted down into slag and have the few trace amounts of precious metals present extracted.

There is still good in them, I can feel it.

The rest may also apply, but to a lesser degree.

isn’t that a Bib Fortuna line? (r tow-a d tow-a) (sorry, don’t know how it was really pronounced, and can’t figure out how to find a script by googling when i don’t know how to phonetically spell what i am searching for.)

I believe that’s how Threepio introduces Artoo to Jabba, actually.

pushes up his nerd glasses and snaps his suspenders

well, you are certainly right, but doesn’t Bib then repeat this to Jabba? man, i should really just check the video instead of being publicly wrong, and loosing a nerd fight…
