I'm 35.5 years old and I just started a masters in CS program(have a BS in CS already), so fuck I hope not

I assume it would just be with tardigrades, but can they even survive / thrive on Saturn?

But if you have to relocate, aside from rent(which can be absurd in CA), how else are you supposed to do it?

It better be, my first class for the fall semester starts in a week!

I finally started using KeePassX so I could keep track of the insanely long and randomized passwords it creates across the same plethora of sites you've listed. I love using it, but there's no way in hell I can quickly update so many different credentials conveniently(e.g. update your password every 6 months or so? Just kill me now)

This probably doesn't apply to a lot of people, but I got a ton of mileage out of my DSLR and learned a lot about photography in the process. I mean unfortunately the one I bought (and still have) from 2009 is pretty dated now, I wouldn't consider it a waste(unless you count the fact I could've spent those on bitcoin instead and been a millionaire).

My goodness, when was this? I worked there for a short stint in 2000, right around the launch of the PlayStation 2(which was an utter nightmare in of itself). I probably would've flipped if I had been subjected to that.

I never thought my taste for red delicious apples were something I'd have to feel about the way people did about eating McDonald's(I mean obv they're different, but..)

Thanks for your input on this. I'm considering getting my AWS Developer certificate so I'm glad to have some warning about it going in..

How so?

I'll have to admit the lack of ability to do quick refactoring has bitten me on more than one occasion.. :/

This makes me feel a bit better about sticking with ol' ADO.Net.

The spread between the two that is worth paying attention to, as well. Pre-crisis, the two were pretty much in lock-step with one another and no one cared about it. As the crisis emerged, and beyond, the two diverged significantly.

What kind of modeling are you doing with a beast of a setup like that?

My wife had never really been in a real arcade till she and I visited that very same one, and we were both blown away!

I haven't done any interview prep in quite awhile and I feel like even a question like this would leave me dead in the water, given what the post laid out.

What are you doing now, and if I can ask, how old are you?

> marrying my 4-year girlfriend.

I highly recommend eloping! My wife and I did that, and hoo-boy it took so much pressure off of us(not to mention saved us a lot of money).

See Soneil's response. She does qualify for it, but it's not instant. You have to be on a conditional green card for two years, then on a regular green card(which lasts ten years). We have to wait another year before we can have the conditional aspect of her green card removed. But with USCIS allegedly pausing it, even if we try to get it removed, nothing will move forward, but the clock will keep ticking till it expires.

The ACLU doesn't have a problem with 2A, but they see gun ownership as a collective right rather than an individual right. They have stood up for 2A rights in the past, but compared to the NRA and other 2A advocates, they have very limited resources, so they let the NRA / et. al. handle them.

There are plenty of people who are trying to become American, as well. My wife came here from Iran to study at an American University, and her conditional green card is set to expire next year. We want her to get her citizenship as fast as possible. Now it seems that USCIS has put all that on pause though, so we're sweating bullets over whether they'll actually let us file the petition to have the conditional aspect removed in a year's time. If they don't, we're fucked and all of the work and money(read: thousands of dollars) we put into putting her through the system properly will have been all for nothing. FYI I'm an American citizen.

FWIW that's also a Bible verse, from Matthew 7:5[0].

> Yes, it sucks for law-abiding citizens of these countries who would like to visit the US in the next 120 days. But it is only temporary.

This assumes that the other countries will comply with the administrations requests for information on the individuals, otherwise it will be extended indefinitely. Iran doesn't have a US embassy and they don't officially have relations with the US, you think they're going to suddenly start handing over information to the US? If anything, this gives them more reason to say, "See how the US is treating us like shit?" which further stirs up anti-US sentiment among them.

Also, yes, green card holders ARE affected by this. My wife won't be able to leave the country without fear of being denied entry upon her return despite her being a valid green card holder.

Those are links to a whole other issue that deserves its own discussion. Why not the following from the article itself:

"However the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury puts blocks on this market. According to Techrasa, Apple has sent the following to Iranian startups attempting to upload apps:

“Unfortunately, there is no App Store available for the territory of Iran. Additionally, apps facilitating transactions for businesses or entities based in Iran may not comply with the Iranian Transactions Sanctions Regulations (31CFR Part 560) when hosted on the App Store. For these reasons, we are unable to accept your application at this time. We encourage you to resubmit your application once international trade laws are revised to allow this functionality.”

I completely agree with you and expressed my best wishes and sympathy to OP - but I'd also like to take a moment to appreciate the irony of your username in this thread! :)

Which makes no sense - the US and Iran don't have relations at all, why would they suddenly start handing over information on their visa applicants? This hurts the US more than helps, by a long, long shot.

I know it wont' help, but as a US citizen, please accept my apologies for everything that you're going through due to these circumstances being set up by the new administration here. My wife is also an Iranian CS student and she's been here for the past few years. She's looking to go home to see her family for Nowruz, and we're not even sure if it's a good idea for her to do so, despite her being a greencard holder. I'm hoping for the best for her, for you, and for all of us.

> You need to change that attitude or your complacency will allow politicians to take it from you.

I mean I want the money to be there and will fight tooth and nail to ensure it, but damn if my control over it isn't limited. We still need to look out for ourselves.

While my folder could use a bit of a spring cleaning, I do. It's been damn useful the last 7-8 years.
