If you think that you'd be treated differently entering USA in undesignated point of entry... You'd be right. If you didn't get shot on the spot, you'd rot in jail for decades until somebody decides to deal with your case.

Although I agree with the sentiment, I would NEVER expect anybody to entertain my kids. I would just pack them up and gone home. My kids are my burden to bear.

I had no idea it got so expensive. It's been ages since I had any interest eating there.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Warns Trump Admin If They ‘Lay a Finger’ on Members of Congress ‘We Are Going To Have a Problem’
That's a good threat, but what happens when nobody backs it up? You just know that establishment Dems will sit it out and people are not going to do anything. So what then?

You should check out Oulu in Finland where kids bike to school in cold weather. Not a problem apparently. If that is too far fetched, you should visit Bozeman MT where people bike commute in the winter quite often.

It's not about how long it is. It's about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.

There's no such thing as international law. It's free for all. If you have an army, you can also get what you want.

The Prisoner's Trolley Problemma
Well obviously you should pull the lever once the front wheels past the split but before the rear wheels cross it, so that trolley gets off the rails. This way everybody has the chance to survive and you have defensible position during inevitable court hearing.

Turntable!
When I was a kid in the nineties I visited Denmark and had their pastries. I don't remember much from the time except that the pastries were so sickly sweet and had overpowering flavor of some nut extract (almond maybe). Never in my life was I so disgusted by pastries as in Denmark. So they can keep those to themselves. I'll take the rest though

Vim > VSCode

So kind of off topic. Like 15 years ago emacs vs vim split in engineering was like 50-50. Now I see more like like 90-10 with vim winning. What happened? I always assumed they are equivalent more or less.
