  1. No Good that used to be the case but not now you can try and bug them
  2. Automated hopefully someone with a brain will look at it
  3. Nothing is 100% with regards to immigration.
  4. The way I look at it is that some people are not DIY Some cases are not DIY Many are DIY but we get members who fall into the first 2 categories.
  5. WoM's still work, very much depends on the case. Usually you are not looking to go to Court, more a you have sat on it do your job so depends on the circumstances.
  6. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ WHO SHOULD APPLY? You are a citizen or eligible national of a Visa Waiver Program country. You are currently not in possession of a visitor's visa. Your travel is for 90 days or less. You plan to travel to the United States for business or pleasure. You want to apply for a new authorization for one person or a group of applications for two or more persons. It is the first thing you see. Anyway there are two issues, the being married to a USC is more immigrant intent, now that can be assuaged. The issue here is that she ignored the restrictions on her prior entry and why should they trust her again? I seriously would not go down the we did not know route.
  7. I think it is because CA has very high electricity prices and they vary according to demand, amusingly Wendy's is doing the same. It seems to be there that the norm is grid tied and no battery, well it has been. I also saw something that the Government requires you to be grid tied, you can not say to to Electrical Company take a hike, you have to have a feed.
  8. What do you mean by groups, it can be part of the Immigration process and is often discussed on VJ.
  9. And of course the big question why the K1 with all its issues, sounds unlikely the couple of benefits would apply in your case.
  10. I know someone in the Business, sadly died in a motorbike accident some years back. And I know people off grid around here. One place i go to for work has an off grid system because it would cost an arm and leg to put the poles in to connect to the grid. I think they charge $5k a pole and then was told by someone doing a new build that they would require him to trach, I can only imagine how much that would cost. Anyway I have been looking and I do not need an installer, I know electricians and can DIY, whatever. I must admit I find the US electrical system weird using 120v but it is what it is. Now everyone up here needs batteries but historically it seems that is California etc they have been selling grid toed system without batteries and using the grid as their battery. Now California has seriously limited to what they will pay for your excess energy so the economics are screwed. I bumped into someone who has a F150 Lightning, bought is secondhand hand for I think around 50k which sounds a lot but look at the price of a new truck. Amusing Ford have a cheap Ranger model, they are not selling that in the US, only expensive models. So a Solar Panels and Batteries use DC, and this has to be converted to AC at some point either at the Pael, Battery or in a separate box. Panels used to be a dollar a watt, now nearer 50c. Battery prices start at 30c a watt. The Brain Boxes well they have more toys and whistles than they ever did and difficult compare, the above 2 are where the money is. I have seen a lot of places selling used panels seriously cheap, they still work you just need more of them. When I was working out cost always seemed that the Battery was going to be the big sticker item, and things like the Tesla Powerwall were seriously heavy, 300lbs plus. Now the trend seems to be modular systems where the components are more like 100lbs, that can be managed. You can see why grid tied systems were so attractive, produce electricity during the day and send it to the grid during the day, pull it back at night, make money on any excess. But those days seem to be nearly over. Like I mentioned the dynamics where I am are different due to the potential cost of connecting. Plus if we have heavy wet late snow the grid could be down for a few days. I have a small generator as an emergency backup. But that only powers essential loads. I have seen enough sources say that grid ted contractor installed systems are c $2.50 a KW, and one sight I went to wanted to know my credit score as that seems to be where they make their money, sounds like the worst of buying a car. Most of the stuff I have been looking at you just buy the stuff as you would any electrical system, the ones that do not avoid. One I liked EnPhase you had to be a qualified installer to commision the system, liked their stuff and was about to move on when I found out that you could as a self installer also go through their own line qualification system, now that I might do anyway. could learn a lot. A lot of the setting up is web based or app based so that is how they control things. I would be concerned about using a proprietary system where they may not be around, similar with EVs really. Ohh that Lightening had a 100k battery so at my 30c a watt that is $30k just for the battery, she showed me the outlets, all the 8? 120v supplied 30amp and I think there was a 50amp 240v in the back.
  11. I have to wash Matilda, I was going to do it today, but cold and snowy. She loves bacon so the pig collagen would not be a problem. https://www.amazon.com/Elizavecca-CER-100-Collagen-Coating-Treatment/dp/B01I2ZQJSG/ref=asc_df_B01I2ZQJSG/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459729839407&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5795256664313214921&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028842&hvtargid=pla-839424565193&psc=1&mcid=f2fc3c35d6dd3b8d9cab13914a0815eb&gclid=CjwKCAiA0PuuBhBsEiwAS7fsNVCaAk1BzR9Q-FeUWPOmv-g-2wXg1p_j_lfyLHhnMK7HpdnPqWCTlRoC-b0QAvD_BwE Worth a try for $7
  12. You can see for yourself on the visa bulletin. Maybe file and check it in say 2040, see how things are going.
  13. There might be questions if you left soon after, I have seen many discussions on that, I have my GC can I leave now.
  14. U4U is currently good for 2 years, there is also TPS, They could apply for the Diversity Visa.
  15. This year’s Super Bowl viewership can be neatly divided into four segments: Those who like football and Taylor Swift, those who only like football, those who only like Taylor Swift, and those who like neither but are, for whatever reason, watching anyway.
  16. According to the report, investigators found Joe Biden’s “memory was significantly limited” in interviews they conducted with him in 2023 as well as interviews with his ghostwriter. Because of that, special counsel Robert Hur wrote in the report, investigators concluded that it “would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him – by then a former president well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.” “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” they wrote, adding that Biden “is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.” https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/biden-classified-documents-report-02-08-24/index.html Watching the coverage on CNN, how can he stand after such a finding?
  17. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-announces-family-reunification-parole-process-for-ecuador Certain nationals of Ecuador who are beneficiaries of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative may be eligible to be considered for parole under the new process.

  18. I just noticed and I have to work! Just wondered what other people indigenous persons are doing to celebrate.

  20. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/10/sport/brittney-griner-dallas-airport-harassment/index.html Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was freed from Russia late last year after being wrongfully detained, was harassed Saturday by a man described as a social media “provocateur” at a Dallas airport. A source familiar with the incident told CNN that around 9:30 am CT, Griner was at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport traveling with Phoenix Mercury teammates on their way to a game. Griner was confronted by the man who was yelling at her about “the Merchant of Death.” The confrontation got so heated that the man was tackled, and law enforcement was involved, according to the source. CNN has reached out to local law enforcement and the DFW airport about the incident. “The health and well-being of our players and staff are our top priority and we will always take every step within our power to protect player safety,” the statement said. “No one, regardless of identity, should ever fear for their safety. We will be coordinating with the WNBA on next steps,” it continued. Griner’s teammate, Brianna Turner, posted to Twitter on Saturday, saying, “Player safety while traveling should be at the forefront. People following with cameras saying wild remarks is never acceptable. Excessive harassment. Our team nervously huddled in a corner unsure how to move about. We demand better.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I would recognise Bob, but any other member of the WNBA? I thought they would be delighted somebody recognised them.
  21. I had not really thought about this other than being told when checking out at a Supermarket now is the time to enter your Coupons, what Coupons? I would assume they were overcharging up front to pay for the rebate so look for something else.
  22. https://www.givesendgo.com/daniel_penny $315k as posting, it went up $30k in 10 minutes?
