Re: More and more people trying to visit the United States end up behind bars | DW News
Having a valid travel document plus visa if you need it is not a guarantee to get into any country. It's always up to the discretion of the visa officer. Previously they might have kept people in airport jail and put them on the next flight home but I'm reading now that people are sent into ICE det...

Re: clothes that fit for high or mighty people
Try itailor.com. Long delivery times, but prices are reasonable.

Windows 11 to unsupported hardware or Linux Mint
So, I am one of those folks who has a perfectly good, running laptop in Windows 10 but is facing the discontinuation of security patches and updates in October 2025. I can install Win 11, but it might end up being unstable. It also may not be eligible for security updates. My hardware: Asus Rog Stri...

Re: Pediatrician that respects parents?
Hello, long time member of the previous site. I've been struggling to find a Pediatrician that will behave in a manner other than expecting me to worship the ground they walk on. As the appointments are... Legally enforced in Hesse, I am kinda losing my mind trying to find someone who is going to b...

Check to see if your tenants have renter's insurance. Renter's insurance should cover actions by their guests. Ours does

Re: Laptop downloads no longer possible on Netflix
No smartphone and no internet is digital self-segregation, not exclusion. You screwed this pooch all by yourself.

Simple solution: download the content on your smartphone and then cast to your computer using Bluetooth or a wired solution.

Re: What got you flummoxed today?
A package I sent in April, which contained a one-of-a-kind watermelon tourmaline, rubellite, and mica specimen, was declared missing by DHL in May. I was compensated for it in June. Since it was an eBay sale, I had to give the money back to the buyer (right away, of course, because I am not a jerk),...

Re: The Conviction of Donald J. Trump
Who didn't see this coming? Donald Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for next week. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-seeks-set-aside-york-002820639.html With the new Supreme Court...

Re: The Conviction of Donald J. Trump
IMO Biden’s very poor performance will keep many folks away from the voting booth who would otherwise vote. They aren’t disengaged, just exhausted. And as much as they hate Tr**p they can not stomach Biden at this point. I am extremely disappointed in Biden for not having handed the reins over to a...

Re: The Conviction of Donald J. Trump
Well, Joe Biden is old, but he's a workhorse and a legislative powerhouse who still gets things done. Anyway, it's not like the UK puts up its best. Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Nigel Farage? Phew. The problem is a surge in global gullibility. Stupid people vote for scary characters who make them ...

Re: Finally accepting an offered seat on the tram
On our vacation in Italy last year, a young man offered his seat to my wife, which she politely declined. The two of us and our friend made him feel like a hero in front of his girlfriend, going on and on about how such a young man is a treasure and how good his mother must be (Italy, after all). It...

Re: Verwenden von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger und terroristischer Organisationen
I get your point, Jay, but in the context of the wider conversation in the media at the time, I merely wonder how a judge will view a foreigner engaging on social media in German then claiming they hadn't grasped the precariousness of such a statement. I'm not saying it points to a consciousness of ...

Well, and back to our fellow poster Bogies's problem, can anyone really claim not to understand that this was an illegal statement in the face of the conversation that was had about it online and on the news if one is savvy enough to post about it on Twitter in German?
