European countries have already had dyes removed for years. Though I will note that in the US that trans fats were 'removed' from many foods in the effort to be more healthy, and that was complained about and is still complained about years later. There's really no teeth to this dye "removal" akin to asking companies politely to remove it. Wouldn't want to get the lobbyists upset. Now in the UK it is very hard to find many products without artificial diet sweeteners because of the sugar tax (which... don't get me started). Coke is one of the only still offering regular sugar Coca-Cola on the shelves there.

I will always remember that Francis was the cause of having no hotels to book on our wedding week in 2015. 😃 If you're interested in some good movies related to this topic - Conclave is on Amazon Prime starting today. The Two Popes has been on Netflix for a while and is also excellent.

As a K1 - 1)arrive and get married as soon as possible 2)get your marriage certificate copies (many) 3)get over to the SSA and get his first card it will have ''work with DHS authorization'' on it. 4) file for AOS + EAD/AP (this is pretty well covered in the guides here) 5) wait a stupid long time. while waiting get the spouse added to things like accounts and health insurance 6)EAD arrives - this is the authorization needed

You have to tell them via a form that you've moved. It's been a long time and still paying for us, but every year you upload your paystubs and they assess how much the repayment is going to cost. We used to have to do this manually (with the long turnaround for mail they threatened us once and it required an expensive phone call to sort out and some documents back and forth), but thankfully they updated options on the website and you can now update the info from there. Then we just pay every month. Easier if you still have UK banking. IIRC we did not pay them a thing until my husband was working.

I would strongly encourage to stop using ChatGPT and to consult a CPA.

Another human excuse for an amoeba who was involved in hard-core neo-Nazi groups online. Would be good if they could bust some other individuals from this case.

Final update to this case: Victor Martinez-Hernandez was convicted after short jury deliberation of all counts of the brutal rape and murder of Rachel Morin. The Baltimore FBI did excellent work on this case. It is unknown whether he will face trial in cases involving other women and children he preyed upon.

The current emerging story paints the picture of a deranged woman and child abuser. It's terrifying that he had been allowed shared custody of some of his children. To get the gasoline he needed to make the Molotovs he siphoned it out of someone's lawn mower. How this guy managed to breach security is crazy. I love PA, but like the 'Florida Man' meme there is also a type that comes out of there.

Human excuse for an amoeba Cody Balmer apparently walked an hour up to the PA governor's mansion, climbed over the wall and while the guards apparently did nothing, entered the building set it on fire, and then slipped out the way he came. The police affidavit said he wanted to beat the governor to death with a sledgehammer. The governor and his family had been having their Passover meal before going to bed and were unaware that the suspect had intruded let alone set it on fire. Thankfully they evacuated safely. The damage to the historical property has been horrific. I think someone responsible for safety needs firing.. This report states that his mother was aware his was off his meds and tried to get the police department to arrest him multiple times (he already has a criminal record). https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/cody-balmer-governors-residence-fire-josh-shapiro-harrisburg/

As someone libertarian-minded I can only stand back and watch with somewhat amusement because after spending years of my life learning about economics and history from a conservative perspective, it is strange that we have arrived at a moment of intense economic self-injury of which no conservative principles or common sense can be found. Nothing good will come out of tariffs and our economic problems will continue to deepen. It's not just about tariffs of course, there's other concerning economic signs I see, but I sympathize greatly in conversations I've had with small and medium-sized business owners that will now have their worth wiped out, innovation stifled, and many close up shop. I have a great deal of empathy for people that are suffering right now, regardless of their age. I guess it must be a common assumption that boomers were all wealthy enough to put their money into retirement funds and 401Ks or that they actually had savings to begin with. It's not true for everyone though. My parents wasted what little they had long ago, did not plan for any future, and expected their children to be drained dry caring for them. And so we have to the best of our ability. My sibling has worked for over 30 years and has sacrificed their entire life for my parents - that retirement fund was to be finally something to have for themselves once my parents are gone. They've had losses before, particularly during the Bush administration and again during Trump, which they finally chose to move some money out of the market. Now what little is left will be gone I expect. My husband doesn't even have money in the market thank god or else that would be gone too. We could not afford to take such a risk. Tariffs do not offend me, but they are a dangerous and foolish thing that no conservative should ever be wrapping their arms around. My life was not paved in gold, nor was the lives of my family - my parents cared little either way. They came from nothing, had nothing, and wanted to give nothing let alone help themselves as long as everyone is expected to help them. I often recall a conversation with my father that he was happy to receive his SSA benefits, and did not care if there was anything left for his children because he'd be dead. My mother is happy to also receive her benefits but will often say that the SSA program is 'evil' and 'should never have existed' so she also does not care if you or me or anyone else who has labored hard should receive them so long as she/her husband does. So really, I do not begrudge the elderly or anyone else for being angry that their portfolios are being drained, at least they had something to begin with, and hopefully they can move it somewhere safe for the long term, because it's not going to be pretty.

*sigh* I have spent the better part of a week trying to get people to understand why this chick had this happen to her. Furthermore to get them to understand that this would have happened to someone in the same scenario in the UK. Not much luck, people either not reading or insisting that there's no legitimate for her detention. Overall, we could only agree that it's the best interest to send people on their way quickly, instead of holding them in these scenarios. Under the Biden admin I think an Irish band was deported because they were intending on playing gigs in exchange for free room and board. I don't believe they were held for a long time.

I've seen people try to make comparisons to PBS/NPR. BBC is fine as a media organization, and it does a lot more than just air news. Any news organization in the UK, not just the BBC seems closely entwined in government. You can't publish anything about the Crown or government (even if embarrassing info) without their knowledge and approval in some way... the way I understand it? Honestly Boiler, I think currently if we did have a national broadcaster doing what you suggest in that scenario, that some people wouldn't have a problem with it, particularly if it fit within a certain political party goal (that can go either way). There is never just such a thing as a rich benign philanthropist. A person with money and power is in general always looking to promote their own self-interests and generate more wealth and power. This is one reason why newspapers are dying, large media organizations are struggling, and good writers are being pushed out. Citizen journalism does a good job most of the time, but can be extremely error prone and not bound by any sort of ethics and eventually even when those get a larger following online - end up falling into the trap of promoting their self-interests.

All of the minds on SCOTUS are in general particularly decent in their rulings and always interesting in their thoughts, even if some of those thoughts may be a bit out there (looking at Alito)it's nice to see how they may arrive at an argument's ruling. If a court ruled the same way all the time and had no unique thoughts then it would be quite the kangaroo court now wouldn't it? Just because someone approaches a subject or has different feelings on a subject than you do does not make them incompetent to be on the bench. Bright legal minds don't just reside in one political spectrum. I've been reading court decisions since I was very young and each justice, present and past, have their own strengths and weaknesses as it should be. I would say that age can be a significant factor though to always consider. Both sides have considered court packing - and as with anything I often caution what happens when the shoe is on the other foot? Court packing is based out of the desire to see the judiciary rule a certain way by default, and not checks and balances. But the executive being held to abide by the judiciary is another check and balance. This thread posits, disturbingly, to the contrary a dangerous and slippery slope.
