Going to see how close to replacing my smart phone I can get, with just a smart watch. Smatch watch with an eSIM so it gets data, calls, SMS, GPS as needed... only catch so far... MFA apps don't seem to be compatible.

As far as future telling/mind reading about how they'd go about it, I'm no good at that stuff, so I've got to go off of actual words and actions, so until we see otherwise, I'll expect the new admin to focus on those with violent criminal history before anyone else.

It's troubling to me when anyone applies a stereotype to all immigrants. Those who are in violation of immigration laws aren't all poor starving mothers, nor are all violent gang members. And not all of us immigrants are here to violate even immigration laws.

Lots of us immigrants are law abiding residents, and naturalized citizens who share the concerns of natural born citizens. And maybe we appreciate what America is more, and want to both protect that and welcome others into it in ways that continue to build on the goodness that is here.

@madbarrister I hear you. Did you know there's already paths forward that don't include overstaying your visa?

As an immigrant myself I happen to know that's the case. So.. The good news is most of your plan is in place already. It was long and costly and painful but that was before 12 years of Obama/Biden /Harris, so maybe it's a lot easier now.

I agree with #3, that there should be penalties on employers who hire those not following the legal process.

I don't love the idea of creating an underclass of people to pick cotton or veggies or whatever. I didn't like it when W proposed it either.

@madbarrister both definitions seem to have merit. I thought I heard Vance say they'd start by going after the first category. As for the second category, what's your proposal if one overstays a visa?

@jonyoder @steele The only way we get information is through intermediaries. So... what did Trump do or think? What did Harris do or think?

It's all filtered down to us by the media... sometimes we have a choice of what we're exposed to, sometimes not.

I see things posted by both sides that make me pretty skeptical sometimes, and other times make it very clear how put too much trust in the intermediaries, confirmation bias, availability heuristic, etc.

@steele Been there! With enough kids, I learned that a 24 hour bug can affect us for a week... or weeks, with a day in between each person...By the time that one bug is over, here comes the next.

But it's how our immune systems grow, right?

Once we had pink eye spread around the house, not one person at a time, but one EYE at a time! I got it the day one of our kids was born and I was active in the delivery room... with lots of hand sanitizer and eyedrops.

The #Onion bought #Infowars. Hey @BabylonBee, #MSNBC is for sale.

@darulharb That... would be wild.

I have had a hard time seeing anything beyond actual scrum as being aligned with the original agile principles. Those principles are still how I tend to think... and thus be frustrated by any process that is ___ agile. The word proceeding agile always seems to mean "not" in implementation.

Shortly after I did scrum training many years ago and my small team began to outpace all other teams where I was, a new PMO was set up to turn every team into as efficient as mine. The result was that we also became slow with the process overhead and lost the advantage.

Maybe... maybe the principles can be applied regardless of framework, if not thwarted.

Someone needs to track what I'm seeing is expected with a Trump win:

- internment Camps
- mass executions
- outlawing divorce
- end of democracy, no more elections. ever.

And track when these things happen. Headlines I've seen so far with a Trump win:

- Charges dropped
- Migrant caravans turning around
- Hamas wanting to stop the war
- EU shifting to buy American instead of Russian Energy
- NY pulling back on sanctuary city policy (with stopping cash payments)

@fuat2mb I hear you on this. Only some of my work is not through a consultancy like this.

But I'm referring to the most basic of things. Like existing best practice frameworks, how one queries a database, etc.
