I have a Roomba 980. It often runs out of battery before making it back to the charger. It is confused by chair legs that are close together under hour under the dining room table. A long piece of thread or a shoelace will cause problems. Get one that retains maps and lets you edit them..

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

NEW: ProPublica and @texastribune.org found that DHS rushed a revamped tool to check voters’ citizenship into use while it was still adding data.

As a result, the tool has made persistent mistakes, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

As ICE expands, an AP review of crimes committed by agents shows how their powers can be abused Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody.

An AP review of crimes committed by ICE agents shows how their powers can be abused:

One official admitted he repeatedly sexually abused a woman in his custody.

Another is charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation.

What Democrats need to know to truly reform ICE I'm an expert, and the misconduct and corruption run far deeper than even the deadly surges have shown.

As top immigration officials testify before Congress this morning, read @vermontgmg.bsky.social on what Democrats need to know to really reform ICE.

From a technical perspective, the latency involved in the vehicle "phoning a friend", getting routed to someone, who then has to look at the cameras, is far greater than zero milliseconds that would be needed in a real-time traffic situation.

If you use Notepad++, this is critical reading and you need to update ASAP

It does NOT say that ICE agents are not welcome as customers, only that they cannot enter private (employee-only?) areas without a judicial warrant. That statement is simply what is guaranteed by the Constitution. They are not taking much of a stand here.

Context: collecting Skymiles to fly people home who were kidnapped in Minnesota and released in Texas.

100 percent you're going to see some right wing jerks complaining that Springsteen has gone woke because they never once actually listened to his lyrics before

Just so we are clear. Haitians are currently in the United States legally.

They are not here illegally.

Trump is revoking their legal status Feb. 3, and then, according to reports, immediately sending ICE in to Springfield and Columbus, Ohio, to target them.

Abolish. ice. 💔

I guess he just got lucky.

One of the many reasons we have cats instead of dogs. 😊

Given all the attempts to make absentee voting less available and reliable, this seems like one good way to compensate.

You should consider adding this to the output of your queries on sys.query_store_runtime_stats:

"ReplicaType = ISNULL(CHOOSE(rs.replica_group_id, 'Primary', 'Secondary', 'Geo secondary', 'Geo HA secondary', 'Named Replica'), 'Named Replica')"

As I found out the hard way, this means that you now see this query date for geo-replicated secondaries IN THE PRIMARY, which for most of us is an unexpected change that can lead to lots of confusion when trying to track down the source of performance issues on the secondary.

I think that the Indivisible groups have some resources for this (phone/text trees, email lists, etc.).

They are already in Columbus, although they haven't fatally shot anyone yet (they did shoot one guy in the leg this week). However, most people tend to shy away from shooting at Federal officers, regardless of circumstance. You never know when that could change.

More information from the guy whose car had smoke grenades and other stuff thrown in it. The baby's heart stopped and EMS was called to the scene. Yeah, ICE may have almost killed a 6 month old baby yesterday

Very helpful! Of course, this assumes the patient is willing to be on-camera all the time, even if it is just limited to being viewed by a few select people. Consent for the win!

Hey folks! I'm back on the job market! Anything in the dba, data engineer, data architect space would be my wheelhouse! I'm open to contract, but really prefer remote!

Awww…poor little MAGA Mike.

And what you can't prevent is randomly getting stuck on the tarmac for hours with the engines (and therefore the ventilation) turned off. That's why I haven't flown since 2019. The actual flying (masked) is fine.

She is getting more exposure by cancelling than she would have received by performing there. So it was a good move for two reasons.
