Has anyone pointed out to them lately that has said in the past that after leaving Penn he had planned to pursue graduate studies at Stanford, but dropped out to work on founding his first company.

That’s significant, experts say, because there are strict rules about the kind of work allowed when someone is in the US on a student visa, and work authorizations tied to student visas generally require someone to be actively studying or for the sponsoring institution to allow the student to get academic or practical training after graduation.

Immigration attorney Greg Siskind, who’s co-authored multiple editions of a guide to J-1 visas, says transitioning from a J-1 visa to an H-1B visa is a possible path. But he says a J-1 visa wouldn’t provide work authorization to someone who dropped out of a degree program. The moment Musk dropped out, he would have lost his status and been unauthorized to work, Siskind says. ?

Well... I'll be damned. You've changed my mind. Thanks.

Oh great, now the Democratic pols are going to step down to "set a good example" while their doddering GOP counterparts will lurch around until their 90s with, staffers following them around with portable defibrillators so if they die in hallway somewhere they can be revived before the next vote.

Agreed, but I'm not sure if those civil rulings would stop the DoJ from filing criminal charges if Trump pushes them into it.

It ain't over 'til that fat fuck squeals. His new plan, apparently, is to sic the DoJ on her once he's in office.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump reposted a photo of E. Jean Carroll with large letters that read: “Should a woman go to jail for falsely accusing a man of rape? Retruth if you want justice for Trump.”

It's a great way to keep the UFO nuts contained. Let them scurry around the surrounding area as much as they want. Occasionally arrest one who gets too insistent and the others will take that as confirmation that something big is hidden there.

Some barely secret aircraft, a whole lot of accounting and clerical staff, and a tremendous amount of security to make it seem like there are major secrets being protected there. That is what I would put at the world's most well known secret base, anyway.

Right about the :42 mark, the old man pretty much taps the cop in the chest with the back of his fingers. You can also see it in the body cam footage. It was a very slight tap and I very much doubt the cop even felt it through his body armor. This was a massive over reaction from the cop. He should have been charged and the AG is dead wrong here. Frankly, old people do not heal well from falls and breaks. I won't be surprised if he ends up dying as a result of these injuries.

Never talk to the cops unless you absolutely have to, but if you do, keep your hands completely to yourself, particularly if you are a minority. Use lots of pleases and thank yous and yes, sirs. Otherwise, the cop may just decide to kick your ass and they will get away with it.

That should be, First Lady Trump. Vance is Vice President.

You’re just trying to stir shit up for no reason.

They are stirring shit up to, I assume, advocate for change.

Nukes and earthquakes look very different on a seismometer.

Firstly, the waveforms look very different. While an earthquake generates strong S-Waves, the seismograms of underground nuclear test lack most of these waves. Instead, the P- (or primary or pressure) waves dominate the seismogram from the detonation of an atomic bomb below ground (see figure 1).

A second way to distinguish between the origins of the elastic waves is to analyze the data collected by many stations in what is known as a "Moment Tensor Solution." By performing this computation, seismologists trace the elastic waves back to their origin. That not only pinpoints the precise location of the focus, it also shows the mechanism of the forces initially shaking the rocks. During an earthquake, rock breaks in a shear fracture, which results in the rapid sideways movement of two flanks of a fault. In an explosion, however, the origin is indeed a point, from which elastic pressure waves travel concentrically outward.

If they used a nuke, they would not be able to keep it a secret.

On Friday afternoon, Musk doubled down, saying MAGA adherents who continued to blast immigration and the tech community were "contemptible fools," later clarifying he was talking about "racists" who would "absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed."

Okay first, "contemptable fools" sure sounds like it could be replaced with "basket of deplorables" to me.

Second, did he really just notice that MAGA/Republican party is made up of racists? I thought this guy was supposed to be smart.
