Data guy, mostly SQL Server, T-SQL and SSAS, but willing and able to pick up and run in other environments. Knack for picking up programming languages too.
@ATRightMovies 42 - my favorite all time movie - star studded cast, incredible soundtrack, extremely well written
(you can count it as 10/10 if you want but that's not high enough for me)
@StevenJDuffield@EWErickson Last, I read the sentence containing "at least some" to allow for some persons who came to the US illegally to, have gone through some later process to become citizens, at which point their children would be also. Fascinating legal topic whatever the interpretation. 2/2
@StevenJDuffield@EWErickson Interesting. First - not a legal scholar here, so I'm willing to learn. Second, I thought "the Order" was shorthand for the "the Citizenship Order" mentioned earlier in the paragraph, though he did not abbreviated "Citizenship Clause", so maybe I'm wrong. 1/2
@StevenJDuffield@EWErickson Help me out here. I read p118 of the PDF and continued with the footnote on p119. I read 'can' & 'may', not 'would', 'will', or 'shall'. I read that the decision on whether or not they may become citizens was best left to some later TBD case. Did I miss 'would'?
@LexusDr16241@ilan_wurman Which is why they're part of the exception list. My point is the contrast of one legally permitted to be here vs one who is not, and how the wording of the laws got to the point where such a distinction leads to a different legal designation of their US-born child's citizenship.
@NJBeisner Romans 1:16 (NIV copied here) gives support to the grafting illustration of Romans 11: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile."
@JakeSherman TIL the pocket veto only applies (and apparently there have been interpretation discussions) when Congress is adjourned sine die. If I understand correctly that means adjourned with no scheduled date to return. Will be interesting to watch. @EWErickson++, his repost got me here.
@Wingnut1013@20th_Centurygal Only once or twice - should have made more, but hey, I wouldn't be the first college kid to have not grasped -all- of the opportunities in front of me.
@Brick_Suit Where / what time of day is this that the traffic (inside and out) is not totally jammed? Been to Bucky's 2x. Didn't enjoy either trip, because of the congestion (people inside, vehicles outside). Got flipped off because I expected someone to take turns exiting the parking lot.
@EYakoby Never called someone "asshat" before, but it applies here. "So we were in their country?" Yes, that's how embassies work - you establish diplomatic relations, they let you set up an embassy, your little piece of home soil, in their country. Fast arrogant talk does not make right.
@GenTXer2 I heard Rick's first. Wasn't until a spring break '88 roadtrip, listening to a homemade cassette entitled "Rick Springfield's Greatest Hit" which had Rick's version many times, then Sammy's once, then back to Rick's, when I learned Sammy wrote it. Still partial to Rick's version.
@japan_nobunaga However, your effort will earn continuing appreciation and a preferred invite to the next gathering, with perhaps a request for you to make and bring the same dish. 2/2
@japan_nobunaga Some would place your dish (even though we still don't know what it is) in the "too much effort" category - since the potluck is communal, it is rare that someone will not find something they enjoy eating. 1/2
