  1. Even though we didn't have any real immigration system at all before the 1870s we did have deportable people before the civil war. Enslaved people illegally smuggled after the deadline were deportable. And congress, in passing the 14th amendment, specifically considered whether their children would be citizens or inherit the deportable status. And of course they did not inherit the deportable status and were citizens by birth. These people always want original intent but wouldn't know it if it punched them in the mouth.
  2. "I'm a libertarian but I'm cool if a few of us get comparatively rich off of the ability to dump our waste onto the public at large without getting others' permission or giving them compensation"
  3. Texas House Republicans are holding hostage critical legislation to aid flood victims and advance property tax relief by insisting that the first thing taken up is out of state political concerns.
  4. About 3:50 is a nice touch

  6. What's the opposite of a tootblan
  7. Counterpoint: they're the Marlins

  9. There was some awful place in the wolf creek center which served brisket you couldn't cut with a knife. Just inedible. They responded to my sister's review that it was way undercooked with an explanation that the red was the smoke ring.
  10. Found a 2.3 swap, the 3.5 seems like it'd be too wide, no? https://turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/242-2-3l-ecoboost-6spd-swap-picture-heavy.357220/
  11. yeah i wasn't talking about toys, doc. congrats on uncritically posting API screed as a defense to the subsidies of oil companies. i'm sure the fact that the oil companies are paying royalties more than makes up for the subsidies and isn't itself a disguised subsidy at all.
  12. constantly reminded that physicians can be brilliant within their field but are often complete dumbshits outside of it.
  13. well that and life is boring, so it's much more exciting to think that you're the protagonist in some fantasy taking down the secret pedophile cabal that runs the world. at the behest of some dudes who live in the philippines for totally legitimate reasons not related to pedophilia.
  14. 🤮
  15. Houston summer seems mild because the highs aren't particularly high (largely due to scattered rain each afternoon). But the overnight lows are the 3rd highest on record (behind '22, '23, and just ahead of '24, so not a great trend). So this is actually 7th hottest on record (thru july 22): https://spacecityweather.com/has-it-been-a-fairly-mild-summer-in-houston-the-answer-may-surprise-you/
  16. Did leclerc cut a corner somewhere and no one noticed?
