    Fossil Fuel subsidies, current state of affairs and impact

    Not too controversial with the older engines. They had diesel engines running off of used cooking oils in the US. Surely the new ones could be built with biodiesel in mind.

    No Electricity Enough for Data Centers in US

    And they want everyone to buy an EV. I guess they are expecting visits from the power fairy. They certainly won't get there with solar or windmills.

    An El Niño year…. 🌞

    Hottest year maybe in modern history but no where near the hottest the earth has ever been. Over the years it has heated and cooled much more than in modern history.

    Immigration skimkim or simkim system automatically updates Marital status and Kitap to Self Sponsorship

    Just to be clear, now they are saying that you must have a new Indonesian sponsor?

    Dress Code

    Not sure that the reason really matters. Especially not to someone else. Just accept that she did it and is not likely extreme. Do you explain your decisions to strangers? Or anyone for that matter? I kind of don't think so.

    Dress Code

    And I said I would bow out but if you will read my last post you will see that wearing a veil does not necessarily mean you have extremist views. My wife and her veiled friends have the same views except for veiling. I assure you that my wife is not extreme and neither are her friends. So that...

    Dress Code

    I will say this and then bow out. My wife has plenty of friends and a sister in law that wear the Niqab. Their views are basically no different except my wife's choice not to veil. Other than wearing the Niqab they are no different. It's a singe choice out of many. Not sure how that squares your...

    Assume all those things are true. What is the problem? Why does it bother you so much?

    Pemadaman Listrik / Electricity Blackouts

    Literally one different part and that is if they aren't already using a switching power supply. The cost for the part should be the same but they would have to change production over. That would probably be where the expense comes in.

    Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

    I don't have access to the post and will not ask him for it since it would identify him. It would have been made in Indonesian also. He has several thousand followers (mostly Indonesian) so it would have been visible. According to him it was rather mild and didn't address anyone in particular...

    Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

    Just for the record, they didn't ask his sponsor for any money but he was involved in the deportation process. Also,it wasn't exactly visa runs for most of the years. He was employed for most of them.

    He was not married. I suppose they would have no qualms about deporting him even if he was.

    Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

    He had his agent check with immigration and found out that he is banned for 5 years for making the negative comment on the food program. The other things may have played a role in the decision but aren't being mentioned. Fair warning if your comments can be traced back to you and someone wants...

    Fingerprints in the system. He had been here for 30 years.

    Here is the stamp he received, I assume it is standard.

    No he is already home. They handed him his passport, told him which gate to go to and sent him through security by himself. He had coordinated his departure with them. No verbal or written documentation other than the red deported stamp.

    Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

    Got word from the guy last night that he never received anything in writing or verbally at the airport other than telling him not to leave the gate after they handed him his passport. No escorts, no one watching him. He has a big red Deported stamp but no letter, no information on what the...

    Dress Code

    Sounds like you are the one that is uncomfortable. I don't know any Muslims that are uncomfortable with someone veiling their face. How do you know what she thinks? Has she said as much?

    Keep your head down when it comes to government posts

    The certainly seems to be the case but they never actually came out and said it was related to working without a permit. They have been rather vague about the whole thing. At the time he was at the airport waiting on his passport, they still hadn't provided him with any official paperwork. I...
