That sucks (= lack of placard, not your having looked).

I was in ChatGPT for something else, so I asked. It said: -------- The annotation "CLASS B REQ. ATTN. OF USPHS AT POE" on a K-1 visa refers to a medical classification related to the applicant’s health. Specifically: CLASS B: This indicates that the visa applicant has a medical condition that is not an immediate public health threat, but still requires attention. This classification usually pertains to conditions like tuberculosis (TB) or other health issues that might need follow-up treatment or monitoring in the United States. REQ. ATTN. OF USPHS: This means that the applicant's medical condition requires the attention of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). AT POE: This stands for "at Port of Entry." It indicates that when the applicant arrives at the U.S. port of entry, they will be evaluated by a USPHS officer or a customs officer trained to handle these medical reviews. In essence, this annotation means that the visa holder will need a medical evaluation or follow-up at their point of entry into the U.S. due to their health condition. -------- This seems to align with your earlier answer. Do report to us your experience at POE, please.

Might have been an "abled" driver chauffeuring a handicapped person. Did you see a handicap placard?

Scientists make major discovery while working with scrap EV batteries: 'The need for developing sustainable recycling methods is pressing' When Rice University professor James Tour and his team quickly heated spent lithium-ion batteries to over 4,040 degrees Fahrenheit, some astounding things happened. By flash-heating the power packs in a matter of seconds, the waste formed magnetic shells and stable core structures. It is part of an exciting technique being developed to recycle expensive battery parts, according to a university lab report. If successful, it could be a better method of reclaiming the valuable materials without hazardous chemical solvents and power-hungry processes. And the results could lead to cleaner batteries and electric vehicles, per the research team. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/tech/scientists-major-discovery-while-working-110048327.html

Wednesday! It means that it's time for our hilarious, approval-evoking (that is, if correlation = causation) Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================== THE RECOMMENDED TREATMENT A man returned from a foreign vacation and was feeling very ill. He went to see his doctor and was immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo tests. After the tests, the man woke up in a private hospital room, and the phone by his bed rang. "This is your doctor," said the voice on the line. "We have your test results. You have an extremely nasty combination of diseases called G.A.S.H. It's a combination of Gonorrhea, AIDS, Syphilis, and Herpes!" "Oh my gosh," cried the man. "What are you going to do, doctor?" "We're going to put you on a diet of pizzas, pancakes, and pita bread." "Will that cure me?" asked the man. "Well, no," The doctor replied. "But it's the only food that we can slip under the door."

Moderators Call Timeout To Huddle And Discuss Strategy With Kamala U.S. — Midway through the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis called a timeout to discuss strategy with Harris. "Um, excuse me, we'd like to take ten minutes please," said Muir to the candidates an hour into the debate. "Vice President Harris, would you please join us backstage for, um, a quick huddle? Should only take a second." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/moderators-call-timeout-to-huddle-and-discuss-strategy-with-kamala

You're Fired! Another Secret Service Official 'Retiring' in Aftermath of Trump Assassination Attempt It's been almost two months since the attempt on former President Trump's life during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the fallout is still underway.

This is the best early review of the debate that I've seen so far. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABC News 'Moderators' Made a Joke of the Presidential Debate If moderators do their job correctly, nobody talks about them afterward. Unless one becomes a legendary moderator like Jim Lehrer, debate watchers don't remember who the moderator was. Back in 2012 CNN debate moderator Candy Crowley let her bias get the best of her and incorrectly "corrected" Republican nominee Mitt Romney's remarks about Barack Obama and the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and her credibility was ruined. [...] Not a single sentient being expected ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis to be impartial in any way given their history of reporting on the candidates, but the partisanship and unequal treatment of the candidates went far beyond any expectations and set a new standard for how not to moderate a debate.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Fizzicle-Therapy lady came, unbelievably blessed relief man. No hurricane today, just regular-seeming intermittent rain man. An errand was run, and Subway for lunch was obtained*, ingest we man. *WUOC, financially savvy we man A lengthy siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Mini-B.'s skool Band was to perform the Natural Anthem at the ball game, honor for Honors Band man. We T-B.-mobiled to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, travel we man. The Rojo drove the ex-Mrs.-T-B.-mobile through rain and traffic to the ballpark, chauffeur Rojo man. The impromptu financial arrangements were as follows, see man: 1. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. bought the Many (2+2) tickets, expen$ive man. 2. We were to buy the parking, see below man. Many. The Rojo ended up funding the vittles, see below man. We had been advised by Band Director to purchase parking on-line in advance, advise he everyone man. We dutifully did this, si man. We found the nearest lot at a seemingly reasonable $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 -1), si man. The total was $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +1), tax and "service fees" man! As we drove up, lots across the street were advertising $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 -2), man. Many highly foxy chicas populated the stadium corridors, including rubias man. Tuesdays are $1 for beef hot dogs, reasonable man. Every other food/beverage item costs $Many -- si man, $Many -- outrageous rip-off man. Fortunately, the Rojo funded the vittles, final total probably more than we paid for parking man. We consumed Many (2+2) hot dogs, ingest we man. The Rojo also ordered Many (2+2), ex-Mrs.-T-B. consuming one man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. kept disappearing, trying to check up on Mini-B., aysheep helicopter-mommy ex-she man man. Our seats sucked, foul-ground area of left field man. We had to keep getting up to let idiots pass through, get all your damned food at once please man. Mini-B.'s band performed, we presume acceptably because acoustics sucked man. Mini-B., ex-Mrs.-T-B., and the Rojo finally showed up during the Many'rd inning, delays and long walk man. Mini-B. had an "endless" popcorn bucket that cost $Many, share popcorn we and wee man man. Lady behind us got hit in mouth by scorched foul ball, bleeding mouth man. Game sucked until home team tied score in Many'th inning, finally some excitement man. We left during the Many'th inning, getting late and needed to beat traffic man. Drive back was as easy as the trip in was not, straightforward and without delays man. Got Mini-B. embedded only an hour later than usual, exhausted wee man man. We conclude that one must be a damned $Many,000,000-aire to afford ball games, why even bother man. However, Mini-B. said that he would do the experience again, so that part was worth it man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Mini-B. has after-skool basketball** on Wednesday, take we man wee man man. **where maybe attractive-but-married mom-of-amigo will be seen again, sigh we man And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Acknowledged. The couple should agree on as much as possible and consult a lawyer for the rest (even seeing one or more for the usually-free initial half-hour consultation). The USC might even be able to submit divorce papers himself, with competent guidance. Investigate the possibilities.

As hard as it is, I'd still wait and honor the 90 days, then follow up or involve your Congressman's office.

It can and has been done. Is it advisable? It's usually recommended against. If there's going to be absolutely no argument between the parties about division of assets, etc., it can be OK.

VERY well-stated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember when Democrats (and everybody else) thought Kamala Harris was a bad vice president? In the weeks since a group of secretive Democratic powerbrokers pushed President Joe Biden out of the race, the party as a whole has embraced Vice President Kamala Harris with astonishing speed. Now, on the eve of the first, and possibly only, debate with former President Donald Trump, Harris is still riding a seven-week "sugar high" of celebratory media coverage and polls showing increased Democratic enthusiasm for a race many once viewed with dread. Watch a Harris rally and you'll likely see the audience chant a trance-like KA-MA-LA, KA-MA-LA. They’re in love — for the moment. But it wasn't too long ago that many Democratic insiders, and many in the party in general, considered Harris a failure at the job of vice president. Their unhappiness with Harris, which started with disappointment and evolved into something stronger, spilled into media reports and the general political conversation. There was broad agreement that Harris had just not been a very good pick for the nation's second-highest position.
