In such cases, there is usually a “consular report of a birth abroad” that the embassy sends to Washington and the parents get a copy of. Military servicemembers also frequently get this. It’s not required to be done by any means and it i

Foreign diplomatic personnel stationed in the US sometimes have babies while in the US. These children get the same birth certificates as any other child born in the US, but they are not citizens. Ergo, a birth certificate is not proof of

Fair enough. But the tiniest RV you can get away with, bringing your own kayaks and SUPs, folding lawn chairs, etc - you’ll see/experience the parts worth seeing/experiencing and only give a few dollars to the shitbags. You’ll b

Just go already. Florida has outstanding state parks and natural areas. Many of them will be gone forever soon(ish). Spend much of your time there camping at the parks or in cheap hotels, buy food at grocery stores, etc. Stay away from t

Metra is heavy rail, btw. They are extending one of the lines (not that one) all the way to Rockford. Harvard is one of the exceptions to the rule in that the zoning is intentionally preventing density near the station. Metra’s non-rush ho

This is all coming from the annual user survey, which saw a statistically significant drop in both participation and completion rate. Without knowing more about that, it is hard to know whether we can make valid comparisons year over year.

The birthdate in my SSA master record was wrong, and I discovered it only because the IRS upgraded their security (~10 years ago) and I could no longer file my taxes electronically - I couldn’t make it past the anti-fraud checks. It took so

It’s a stupid idea. 1. The Supreme Court has already ruled that anyone held there has all the rights they would have if they were held in a jail in the continental US. 2. It would (probably) put the US in violation of their lease with Cub

This time it’s different, eh? Back when America was great, taxes were insanely high for the wealthy. Like 92% high. What did the wealthy do? Instead of withdrawing money from their businesses to be taxed as income, they used that money t

If you look at total volume of shares traded, this would be somewhere in the range of 200th highest. If you look at the total monetary value of those shares traded, this would be in the top 5, all of which have happened in the past 5 years.

Sure, why not? It will have to be towed/sailed to some suitable location and then people have to actually go about the process of scrapping it. Unfortunately the cost of all of this exceeds what you can sell the scrap for, so again, n

Those cities aren’t really good examples of intentionally putting a state capital in a smaller city of the state. Albany is older than NYC, and anyway the concept of NYC as a single large city is barely 125 years old. The original capital
