    If you watch more of the video, you'll see a fan taunting an Indians player who tried to jump on the dugout to get to him. The fan is very calmly standing there waving for him to come on. 

    That's fantastic.  The fan looked to be at least 60 years old and no fucks were given.

    imagine how often YOU'D drink yourself into bolivia and the associated calories of that massive ethanol influx if you carried the surname and were the issue of that motherfucker... 

    You mean, beyond what I already do?  Holy shit.

  3. I'd do Siena over North, just based on the noise factor alone, but also on food.

    Fonda San Miguel?  I've had a lot of business dinners there, but more in the 4-6 person range.

    EDIT:  Sorry, I was thinking you were implying North Domain.  You're talking 2nd Street.  The others I suggested are too far.

    Clay Pit is a short drive, but Indian might be a bit outside the comfort zone.  They do take reservations, though.

    Ranch 616?

     

  4. I'm pretty sure Mayfield likes getting digs in on Sam because of the LT-Westlake rivalry as well.

    But yes, he is a garbage human being.  If my son acted like Baker I'd correct it pronto.

    https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2019/08/29/new-immigration-policy-withholds-automatic-citizenship-for-some-children-of-troops-overseas/

     

    The policy won’t affect children born to U.S. citizens serving abroad. Those children are still entitled to automatic citizenship, officials said.

     

    “This does NOT impact birthright citizenship,” Cuccinelli said.

    Birthright citizenship is guaranteed automatically to children of U.S. citizens living abroad who have established residency in the U.S.: “This policy update does not deny citizenship to the children of U.S. government employees or members of the military born abroad,” the statement indicated.

    That is quite literally the opposite of what the document says.

    Quote

    Explains that USCIS no longer considers children of U.S. government employees and U.S. armed forces members residing outside the United States as “residing in the United States” for purposes of acquiring citizenship under INA 320.3

    They no longer meet the residence standard by which automatic citizenship is conveyed.

    Just to be clear — and I haven't been able to figure this out — if two US citizens in diplomatic or military service have a baby overseas, and they have lived all of their lives in the US apart from recently going overseas, they will now have to go through the effort of naturalizing their baby for citizenship? 

    If so, that also likely means that the baby can't be president someday. 

    That is exactly how I read the new policy.  I do believe embassies and consulates are considered US territory, but military bases are not.  I have no idea how "residence" in an embassy/consulate would play into the policy, nor whether or not the birthing hospital would have to also be on the grounds.  That's getting way too far in the details.  My main takeaway is that soldier(s) who have kids overseas now have to apply to naturalize those children.

    Only affects US military members and US govt workers overseas if the parent has been a US citizens for less than 5 years. If one of the parents has been a US citizen for more than 5 years  it doesn't apply.

    EVERYONE else is exempt.

    Like I said above it's a stupid policy change but isn't the OMG headline that everyone was freaking out about. 

    That's not what the policy says at all.  You are referring to INA 316, which covers naturalization.  INA 320 covers the AUTOMATIC citizenship of a child once they acquire permanent residence in the US, with the acknowledged stipulations on parental citizenship, etc.  That policy has been changed and there is no longer automatic citizenship awarded to those children.  They must apply for naturalization.

    He forgot to add "of course" when letting us know it was going to hit Florida. 

    "perhaps one of the biggest".  Here are a list of larger hurricanes AT LANDFALL, in the US alone:

    Michael (Cat 5)

    Andrew (Cat 5)

    Camille (Cat 5)

    Labor Day 1935 (Cat 5)

    Irma (Cat 4)

    Hugo (Cat 4)

    Carla (Cat 4)

    Okeechobee (Cat 4)

     

    This list ignores 23 Cat 4/5 hurricanes that made landfall outside of the US.

    Yeah because "all kids born to US Military overseas won't be US citizens anymore" to what is actually the policy change is and how many people it affects might just be slightly different. 

    Don't get me wrong it's a stupid policy but it isn't nearly as bad as the headlines and all the tweets suggested initially. 

     

    You're going to have to be a lot more clear.  The policy change explicitly states that those parents must apply to have their children become naturalized citizens, whereas previously they were automatically citizens at birth.  How is this not ripe for abuse?  How do you not see the reasoning for the change?

    I don't have a horse in this race but that isn't a good defense of any city. 

    It is when the argument is that it's way worse than any other city in the country.

    At any rate, my point is that mullet seemingly carries this retarded grudge with me wherever he goes.  He brings this shit up every time -- it ain't me.

  11. I've used Google Chrome (Windows 7) for years, but after a forced update a couple of nights ago, it's just ridiculously slow, and (according to Norton) is hitting the hard drive constantly.  I went into settings, tried to make things better, no luck.

    What's a good alternative?  I don't stream anything, I don't download anything.  No, really.  WaPo is about my limit for salacious content.

    Is Firefox the answer?  Gah, this is annoying.
