[02:26] IsambardPrince There was a federal sodomy law until 2013, but only if you were in the military.

[03:49] IsambardPrince We have too much garbage here already that frankly, there's no way to get rid of it.

[03:52] IsambardPrince Microsoft may have lost their H visas last time but they just hire someone in India, so no new jobs get created in the US. [03:52] IsambardPrince Makes no sense at all. [03:53] IsambardPrince H visas aren't terribly risky because there's no path to citizenship. We can get rid of them whenever it's convenient. [03:53] IsambardPrince But while they're here, they still have to pay into Social Security and Medicare, and never get benefits. [03:53] IsambardPrince Federal and State taxes. [03:54] IsambardPrince Unfortunately, marriage green cards are a possibility for H visa people. [03:54] IsambardPrince I say unfortunately because I've been hearing stories on Reddit like the woman who married an Indian H visa person and he told her that he'd kill her if she dropped her sponsorship. [03:55] IsambardPrince He said "In my country we just kill the wives." [03:56] IsambardPrince Most H visas are given to people from India. [03:56] IsambardPrince I think AOS green cards for people who entered on H visas should require a longer "conditional residence" period. [03:57] IsambardPrince They have one of those to see if your marriage will fall apart. [03:57] IsambardPrince Or if you've married some sort of criminal. [03:57] IsambardPrince they don't SAY that, but that's why. [03:58] IsambardPrince It basically gives the government a couple years to back out of it and order them to leave if they turned out to have misled you, or they commit a serious offense.

[08:22] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], They seem to have stopped bothering to bump the DRM versioning on Blu Rays some time ago. [08:22] IsambardPrince The last update to the player I have came in 2019. [08:22] IsambardPrince And it still plays new releases. [08:23] IsambardPrince I recall that the 2009 player I bought only reliably played discs up until Interstellar. [08:23] IsambardPrince They did a major DRM versionaling bump and all of a sudden it took that disc about 3 minutes to load.
