Our guys all have SSNs, are W9 employees and have all passed the US government's E-Verify system.
Part of the issue with E-Verify (IIRC, it might’ve changed) is an employer can’t question documents turned in if you think they’re fake.
Used to be a booming business in Mexican border towns selling bogus credentials, SS cards, etc, probably still is.
If your guys have legit paperwork why do they hide if they think ICE is around?
re: Lettuce, Tomatoes on sandwiches & burgers - Why?

I love a good burger and I can eat it both with or without lettuce and tomato. If it does have lettuce and tomato though, two things are an absolute must. Ripe, juicy tomatoes and don’t even think about putting fricking romaine or leaf lettuce on my burger. Shredded iceberg or no lettuce, period.
90% of the time I’m like you, no lettuce/tomato on burgers. Usually the only thing I add other than mayo and occasionally spicy mustard is pickles and sliced onion.
But when I do add lettuce/tomato I always toss them with a bit of Italian dressing, salt, and pepper.

re: Norway- 1 in 5 women report being raped. Half of those, under 18.
Posted by riverdiver on 2/13/26 at 9:36 am to SaintsTiger
quote:
Per Grok: False, or at least misleading and overstated in the way it’s often phrased on social media. The claim that “1 in 5 women in Norway are raped” (implying 20% experience rape) circulates in tweets and posts, but it’s not accurate in a simplistic sense. Reliable, recent data from Norway’s official research body, the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS), shows higher figures in some surveys, but with important context. A major 2023 NKVTS national prevalence study on violence and sexual abuse found that approximately 20–23% of Norwegian women (and about 3–4% of men) report having experienced rape at least once in their lifetime. This includes: • Rape by force or coercion (~14% of women). • Incapacitated rape (e.g., while intoxicated or asleep) (~11% of women). • Combined or overlapping categories, leading to around 20% (or up to 23% in some breakdowns) for any form of rape. This is a lifetime prevalence (ever in their life), not an annual rate or something happening to 1 in 5 women currently. The study notes an increase from earlier surveys (e.g., forcible rape lifetime prevalence rose from ~9.4% in 2013 to ~14.4% in later data for women), possibly due to greater willingness to report, broader definitions, or actual changes—researchers say it’s unclear but concerning. Earlier studies (e.g., 2014 NKVTS) reported lower figures, around 9–10% lifetime rape for women, and some sources still cite those. Broader sexual violence (including non-penetrative acts) is even higher, with nearly 1 in 5 women experiencing other forms of sexual abuse besides rape. Key points: • These are self-reported survey results from population-based studies, not police reports (which are much lower, as most rapes go unreported—only about 1 in 5–10 cases reach police attention). • Rape definitions in these surveys align with legal standards but include incapacitated cases, which some debates consider broader. • No evidence suggests the claim is entirely fabricated; it’s rooted in real data from credible sources like NKVTS, though headlines sometimes round to “1 in 5” for impact. • Reported rape cases to police remain in the low thousands annually (e.g., ~2,400 in 2023), far below what surveys suggest due to underreporting. In short, surveys indicate roughly 1 in 5 Norwegian women experience rape over a lifetime (closer to 20–23% in the most recent data), but it’s not a universal “truth” without caveats—it’s a serious issue highlighted in official research, not something debunked as false. The tweets likely draw from these studies but may sensationalize or lack nuance.
That’s a huge bowl full of word salad, even for Grok.

There’s nothing of substance against Trump. The left has had 10+ years to bring out salacious Epstein stuff against him, and haven’t.
Yet they’ve tried impeaching, imprisoning, bankrupting, and killing him
People like you hang your hat on anonymous accusations about girls trafficked and bodies buried at a Trump golf course, when in truth during the time frame mentioned no golf course existed at that location, and Trump didn’t open a course there until a decade later.

I lost 4 people to Covid in the early days. The board may not like it, but they would still be here had they had access to the vax.
Sorry for your losses, but there’s no way you can guess that.
This summer will be 30 years I’ve worked ICU. I wasn’t one of the “ICU Staff” purportedly from various hospitals seen on social media videoing stupid choreographed dance routines, it was busy in my ICU.
One constant with Covid (particularly in the more lethal early days before and after the vax became available) was there was no rhyme/reason to it. At times healthier vaxxed people died, while obese unvaxxed people with every risk factor known to man walked out of the hospital perfectly fine.

As I said before, if a crime is being committed, then call both the police and mobile team out. Brandishing a gun or weapon in a mental health crisis is a crime.
So your solution in a potentially violent mental health case is to send more unarmed people, which complicates the job of the cop when things go wrong in a closed environment due to human congestion and confusion?

When someone calls about a family member in a mental health crisis, a mobile crisis team should be sent out; not the police. Unless of course, the person is committing a crime, then both should be called out. It’s not rocket science. It’s mental healthcare.
So what does the “mobile crisis team” do when the person advances on them with a weapon?
