compel” limits bit is limited to US citizens

This is completely not true. The 4th and 5th amendments apply to everyone.

that even then, they can confiscate your phone

If they do this without getting a search warrant from a judge, you can sue for the return of your property. You can make them justify to a judge why there is probable cause that your property will yield evidence of a crime.

they can refuse to let you fly

This is a thing that can happen, but you can also sue the federal government to challenge your wrongful placement on the no fly list. People have sued and won and been awarded costs and attorneys’ fees

confiscate your passport,

This can happen if they think the passport is fraudulent, invalid, expired, stolen, or if you owe taxes, or are a sex offender that needs an annotated passport, or sadly if they think you are trans.

For many of these causes, the simplest solution is to apply for a new passport. For the trans victims, the issue is currently in federal court, and I am hopeful for a positive outcome.

deport you to the country of their choice.

At this point I assume you are talking about non-citizens, non-LPRs. If such a person is refused admission they are preferentially deported back to wherever they came from. At land borders, that is cheap and easy. Air carriers are required to transport passengers back to origin at the air carrier’s expense when CBP so demands. (This is why airlines check your documents thoroughly before they let you go.)

If for some reason the person’s travel origin refuses to accept them, then the next preference is a country where they have citizenship or strong residence ties.

With the exception of the original set of CECOT flights, which were done in actual contempt of court, true third country removals are the last resort both in law and in actual (however fucked up) practice.

The people who have been sent to the strange African countries have problems with no documents, no proof of citizenship, their true home country refuses to accept deportations from US because of bad relations, or they have withholding of removal because of a legitimate fear of torture or persecution in their home country. That’s not something that’s going to happen to the vast majority of people that show up at an airport with actual good documents.

Here’s an important point from the activist distress code case: CBP had a plan to target him for this treatment in advance before he showed up at the border checkpoint that day. The airlines send them passenger manifests 72 hours in advance.

100% of the time, if they take you to the little room, start asking you questions, and want to look through your phone, they already believe you’re guilty of something specific.

If that happens to you, you need to understand that you have already been the “target” of an investigation. There is nothing you can do or say in that room that will convince them otherwise. The best thing you can do is shut the hell up, do as little as possible, and don’t make their case for them.

And don’t believe anything they’re telling you either. The cops can lie to you, but you can’t lie to the cops. It’s a crime.

I think I’m at low risk.

I power my phone off prior to arriving in the US and keep it off until I leave the airport.

Under US case law, you can be compelled to give up a thumb print or face ID with a search warrant. But you cannot be compelled to give an unlock code, because the code information is testimony, and you have the right to remain silent.

If they insist on seizing my phone unless I unlock it, my plan is to ask for a lawyer, shut the fuck up, let them seize the phone or whatever, then sue them later to return it.

This plan works for me because I’m a US citizen, and I have an absolute right to enter the country. If you are not a citizen or LPR the local CBP officer has the discretion to refuse admission even if you have a visa. So that’s a real consequence to non cooperation.

Don’t lie to the feds about not having a phone if you really have one. That’s a separate crime all by itself.

Yeah. You gotta ask “what did you allegedly do?”

The main flavour components of butter are not going to infuse through water. If you want to add butter flavour to the final product, it would be better to baste the food in melted butter after it Congress out of the pot.

If you have enough water in with the butter to actually simmer instead of fry, the butter won’t do very much during the cooking process. Water boils at 100 C, and the boiling will stabilise the temperature at 100 C and prevent it from climbing higher. A frying or saute process doesn’t have the water, and the temperatures can go much higher than 100 C.

The normal seafood boil recipe is no fat in the water, but do add a lot of seasoning to the water. Add a lot more seasoning to the water than you would normally add directly to the food.

Then for the boil, only boil the seafood for a short time, 1-2 minutes. Then turn the heat off, cover, and steep the seafood in the over-seasoned water like tea, until done. This gives the food more contact time to infuse with the seasoning without overcooking.

I’ve seen these pictures attributed to USS Abraham Lincoln on some other sites.

That ship recently suffered a major supply crisis while it was on station in the middle east. The reason is that Iran was able to deny the use of all of the nearby bases with their drones and medium range missiles. Thus the US Navy resorted to resupplying Abraham Lincoln from Diego Garcia, which is thousands of miles away.

So it’s plausible to me that these are real images, and they represent a very serious problem for the navy: both in terms of total calories and in the loss of morale from low quality.

In any case, Abraham Lincoln has since been relieved, and will make a liberty port call in Thailand after 245 days at sea.

Draft age gonna change in any real war.

When I was in school, the full price of the cafeteria lunch, with 8 oz milk, was $1.25. That was very affordable, and the federal nutrition guidelines meant it wasn’t that unhealthy. Finally the actual food wasn’t actually all that unpalatable either.

Breakfast was free for everyone under a federally funded program. But I didn’t eat that because you had to show up at 6:30 am to get it.

The Atchafalaya is a distributary, not a tributary.

The FCC regulates closed captions on over the air broadcast television.

They’re not going to regulate the Internet streaming services.

This is the quality Lemmy content that I come here for.

Don’t forget the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. (and KFC).

D’Angelo is not impressed.

No. But they do occasionally advertise their TV and movie rental services as videos in the feeds.

ISO would be great, but sadly OmegaStar doesn’t support ISO timestamps yet.

Here’s Western District commander Bunny Colvin on the importance of the brown paper bag to civilization.

I have never seen Uno played that way. If a player plays “reverse”, then the order of play switches from counterclockwise to clockwise or vice versa. The effects of the previous player’s card still land on their usual targets.

Windows, on the other hand, is a hybrid kernel, which means some functions are managed in user space so that a program has more control over the hardware.

Windows and Linux are both monolithic kernels, in the sense that most device drivers run in kernel mode with kernel privilege. They’re not like Mach or Hurd.

Windows outsourced their device driver development early on to the hardware manufacturers, and they encouraged closed-source drivers with separate source trees and builds. To facilitate this, Windows NT developed a system called plug-n-play (PnP) which searches for and loads driver modules (.sys files) from disk into the kernel.

Linux developed a similar system of loadable kernel modules (.ko files), but their system arrived much later. One reason is that Linux’s GPLv2 license mandates that driver source code be licensed under compatible terms. That and Linux has always been pretty open about accepting driver code into their main source tree. Finally, manufacturers were never interested early on in writing Linux drivers, so the driver development was being done by the community, which was already using the Linux source tree.

So Linux didn’t have as much pressure to develop a loadable module system. So they did it later.

To the present day, the majority of Linux device drivers are submitted to mainline Linux and go through the Linux review process. Windows drivers are mainly developed by third parties, but they do have to go through the Windows Hardware Quality Labs review and testing process.

Apple writes all their MacOS drivers internally, because they are also the hardware OEM.
