I think the newest is #4. Yes, can operate without phone, or without 'MI home app'. We have 2, older models, (original & #2), and along with the ACs, keep the PM2.5 down to near -0-, if not -0-. That's 106m² of living space.

It will take a few admirations to get rid of all the illegal immigrants Biden / Harris allowed into the USA ... Biden had 2 more years, to allow more in, as that report is from, FEBRUARY 1, 2023. ... "Four point five million, that is the number of illegal aliens encountered by CBP officials just in the time since President Biden took office; 1.7 million, the number of illegal migrants that Joe Biden released into American communities; 2,378,944, the number of illegal migrants encountered by CBP on the Southwest border in 2022--the highest number ever recorded in a single year in our Nation's history; 251,487, the number of illegal migrants encountered by CBP on the Southwest border in the month of December of last year--the highest monthly number ever recorded; 8,100, the average number of illegal migrants encountered per day on the Southwest border in the month of December, 2022; 717,660, the number of illegal migrant encounters on the Southwest border in just the first three months of this fiscal year; 1.1 million, the number of known got-aways who have successfully crossed the Southwest border since President Biden took office; 856, the number of migrants who died attempting to cross the Southwest border during the past fiscal year--again, the highest number on record; 98, the number of aliens on the Terrorist Watch List encountered on our Southwest border during Fiscal Year 2022--yet another record set by the Biden Administration." ...

Another Illegal immigrant arrested for robbery…
KhunLA replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
From the HomeLand Security Commitee . Is this a good enough source for y'all "September 27, 2024 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) issued a statement following the release of new data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) showing that, as of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal illegal aliens were currently on ICE’s Non-Detained Docket (NDD) and roaming free in communities throughout the United States. This figure includes roughly 15,000 individuals convicted of or charged with murder, more than 20,000 of sexual assault, and more than 105,000 of assault: “It may be shocking to hear that the Biden-Harris administration is actively releasing tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens into our communities, but their own numbers conclusively prove this to be the case. This defies all common sense. Under President Biden and his ‘border czar,’ Vice President Harris, DHS law enforcement has been directed to mass-release illegal aliens whom they know have criminal convictions or are facing charges for serious crimes—and these dangerous, destructive individuals are making their way into every city and state in this country. How many more Americans need to die or be victimized before this administration is forced to abide by the laws they swore to uphold? This is madness. It is something no civilized, well-functioning society should tolerate.” Background: Last week, ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent a letter to lawmakers detailing the number of criminal aliens on ICE’s national docket. As of July 21, 2024, nearly 650,000 criminal aliens were on the NDD—meaning they had previously been encountered by CBP, turned over to ICE, had their criminal history documented, and then were released into the United States. The specific breakdown of what types of criminals have been released is just as sobering. The following numbers include both convicted criminals and those with pending charges for the specific offense. In all categories, the former exceeded the latter: Homicide: 14,944 Sexual Assault: 20,061 Assault: 105,146 Burglary/Larceny/Robbery: 60,268 Traffic Offenses: 126,343 Weapon Offenses: 16,820 Kidnapping: 3,372 Commercialized Sexual Offenses: 3,971 In its recent report, “Crisis by Design,” the House Committee on Homeland Security documented how DHS law enforcement often have very little information to use in vetting illegal aliens crossing the border, and the massive flood of illegal border crossers under the Biden-Harris administration has made this task even more difficult. According to former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, vetting has become a “check-the-box exercise.” The fact that in hundreds of thousands of cases, criminal illegal aliens are being released even after derogatory information about them has been discovered is simply inexcusable, and can be traced back to the Biden-Harris administration’s policy of mass “catch and release.” The number of criminal aliens crossing illegally under Biden and Harris’ leadership is astounding. From FY21 through FY24 year-to-date, the Border Patrol recorded more than 53,000 arrests of illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds, approximately 30,000 more such arrests than FY17-20. By October 2023, the Border Patrol was apprehending more than 47 illegal aliens per day with “serious criminal histories.” According to one veteran agent, “[t]here’s really nothing stopping them from coming here at this point.” Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle of the Border Patrol’s Yuma Sector told the Committee last year that “any crime that can be committed, we do encounter people who have committed them.” https://homeland.house.gov/2024/09/27/chairman-green-on-new-shocking-numbers-of-criminal-illegal-aliens-roaming-free-in-u-s-defies-all-common-sense/ -

Eat when I'm hungry, usually before noon, 4-5 pm, 8 pm. Snack in between if wanting. Just don't eat after 8 pm, till that noon ish meal, which is fat & protein. Followed by a walk. Also a walk after the 4-5 pm munch ... like now, dog is staring at me. Time for her to take care of business before settling in for crappy torrents 🙄

Disagree ... it's quite rude not to leave a tip, unless crap service, which is usually very rare, or, used to be. Standard is 15%, if a CC at least 10%. Unless service was a bit lacking, I usually tipped 20%. Worked a couple jobs where tipping was a good part of one's salary, so 15% or more is definitely appreciated.

Because they are citizens of SV, or their home countries don't want them either. Need to go somewhere. How about this ... ... DON'T DO THE CRIME, IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME ... som nam naa If y'all are unhappy with it, feel free to donate to their legal fund. Surely there is one somewhere. Contact any of these ... if you really care. DO instead of TALK ... Best wishes & prayers don't do a damn thing SEND MONEY ... if you care

Never surrender ... Why should SV people suffer, to appease the SCOTUS, when nobody wants dangerous people returned. Enough people suffer at the hands of criminals. Innocent by standers (SV folks) shouldn't have to, so a criminal gets a comfy prison cell, and wasted tax $$$ for due process, when they ignored due process by entering the country illegally, or ignoring the law of the land.

What psychological factors make people overlook Trump's character flaws
KhunLA replied to Lee65's topic in Political Soapbox
We just don't care about anything in the MSM, or any media for that fact. It's all click bait now -
Think she has about 10, at least planted. Takes up most of the greenhouse, as fairly wide plant. She actually sells cuttings now instead of planting them, as having too many. Gets a few 100 baht for them 👍 We get more lemons than we can use now. Wish that was the same with cherry tomatoes, as still have to buy. Same with R/G peppers, unless minis are an in thing Root veggies, potato, onion, carrots are a big fail, though cheap at the market. Spinach & winter melon grow wild, and the latter, melons are huge, and half go back to the compost, as simply can't eat that much. Kind of boring anyway. She can't grow enough mulberries. Think she's addicted, and fights with the critter to get to them first, as outside the green house, since growing too large.

Plenty of free time while doing certification dives, as long as too much hand holding isn't required. Most stuff you should know and have done in the pool. Think cert dives are just to build you confidence, when variables are added. A little current, less vis, clearing pressure as you go deeper. Make sure you don't get panicky. Conserve air, as now your actually exerting yourself. Throw in the distractions of fish and the view, remember to pay attention to your gauges. Comes easy for some, and not easy for others. Remember I got distracted during the advance dives, along an awesome wall @ Puerto Rico. Instructor started banging on his tank, gave me the 👍, get you butt back up here. Broke the depth threshold by a bit more than I realized. And yea, you suck up some air at depth. There's so much to look at down there, and never enough time. Everyone likes seeing the big stuff, I was interested in the smaller, more intricate life on the coral.

Why would he, nobody wants them back. If they return, maybe they can live with the lawyer, and family, their children, who is fighting their case. Under house arrest or course, to finish their time. If they leave the house, then the lawyer finishes their time. Along with any time added for future crimes they commit

Agree, and not sure I think the fed should finance states at all. Though I'm sure I'm missing the big picture. But if 'you' choose to live in said state, then 'you pay' state tax to maintain the level of comfort 'you' are willing to pay, that you deserve. I don't live there, why should I subsidize your comfort. Same with the fed, especially if it means going into debt. I expect the fed to provide protection, of the USA, not the whole planet, that is all. The rest should be a free market, supply & demand. You want it, 'you' pay for it.
