Dr. Lisa Anderson, 58, was born in Pennsylvania and is a U.S. citizen.

A doctor born in the United States says she received an email from federal immigration authorities demanding that she leave the country immediately.

Lisa Anderson, a physician from Cromwell, Connecticut, told NBC Connecticut on Wednesday that she recently received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security telling her, “It is time for you to leave the United States."

Immigration authorities have been pushing noncitizens to leave of their own volition, or “self-deport,” as the number of deportations remains at similar levels to last year.

I hate using The Big Light™, but I can't always have my room dark. My led strip that is up in the corner of the ceiling just died, so I'm looking for replacements. I'm not opposed to another one, I'm just curious what all else there is. thanks

edit: I might actually just replace my big light bulbs with hue bulbs or something (though those are mad expensive)

Calling this one person's deportation to El Salvador a mistake implicitly suggests that all of the other people deported to El Salvador concentration camps were both on purpose, justified, and of course good actually.

This will be used when citizens will begin to be deported as well. The idea of a specific person sent there unjustly, implying that everyone else sent there is fine and they deserve it.

This is ignoring that Garcia wasn't sent there mistakenly anyway. It's all on purpose, or at best, neutral - if he was identified by the algorithm, then he deserved it. (Maybe that's the scariest outcome, actually).

In an experiment, one tube produced 440 microwatts. When the researchers used four tubes at once, they could power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds.

MAZANOKE is a simple image optimizer that runs in your browser, works offline, and keeps your images private without ever leaving your device.

Created for everyday people and designed to be easily shared with family and friends, it serves as an alternative to questionable "free" online tools.

See how you can easily self-host it here:

Highlights from v1.1.0 (view full release note)

I'm delighted to present some much-requested features in this release, including support for HEIC file conversion!

  • Added support to convert HEIC, AVIFJPG, PNG, WebP.
  • Paste image/files from clipboard to start optimization.
  • When setting a file size limit, you can switch between units MB and KB.
  • Remember last-used settings, stored locally in the browser.

The support from the community has been incredibly encouraging, and with over 4500 docker pulls, the project is now humbly making its way toward a 500 stars milestone.

The project also received its first donation, which I'm incredibly grateful for!

We all know them, we all love them: bonfires. I mean lamps. Eh, sites of grace. Sculptor's Idol! Whatever...

Which "bonfire" has the best integration into its respective game's lore and world building, though? Can't comment on Dark Souls too much since I haven't really played any of them, but I feel like the lamps in Bloodborne fit the game quite well. They serve as a guiding lamp in the darkness and bleakness that is the world of Bloodborne, shepherding hunters to the Hunter's Dream, to safety.

Which is your pick?
