    Politics Grad Students being disappeared by ICE, Visas repealed by Rubio

    He may have been exaggerating or I might be mis-remembering...this was back when he thought he was on the math PhD track. 1) It was graduate level classes in math. 2) Believe he said that most of the Chinese were straight from China, but included some Asian Americans. 3) The Indians were half...

    Politics Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

    Musk and Miller are playing nice on Twitter, but it feels phony. Their agendas are diametrically opposed.

    Politics Grad Students being disappeared by ICE, Visas repealed by Rubio

    My son is a math and computer science major. He said 90% of his fellow students in math were from India or China.

    They're Guinea fowl, not Cornish hens. Knew it was some British sounding bird.

    Hmm I'm wondering they're Cornish game hens...these moos are much bigger than chickens.

    Off-Topic A Latin America Thread

    I love Miami. Aside from a very mediocre Mexican offering (which has dramatically improved over the last decade), it has the best Latin American food in the US. Great Cuban, Peruvian and Argentinian which are world class cuisines. Plenty of Nicaraguan fritangas (informal mom and pop street food...

    Off-Topic What's happening in your neighborhood?

    About three years ago we had to cornish hen roaming our community. Last year that number went up to four. Today I saw the four, plus about 8 new chicks. Aren't they some sort of delicacy or is it just the English accent?

    Off-Topic A Latin America Thread

    Happens in Costa Rica. Plenty of bad cups of coffee. But in the last two decades quite the coffee culture has popped up. One of the local brands figure out that they were sitting on a gold mine of the tourism coming into the country; started selling high end coffee to tourists (and upper income...

    Politics War on Universities, Lawyers & Expertise

    Hopefully its just days. There was severe disruption in COVID days that they were eventually able to sort out. I can't begin to imagine the level of futility;ity of new students and their parents; they have busted their ass to get into these great schools and are now in a horrible limbo. If...

    The coffee in Guatemala is excellent.

    Off-Topic A Latin America Thread

    That's a very good point, particularly when you're abroad. Best Mexican food in the US is in San Diego and LA, though surprisingly Chicago has some really good stuff. Have never had great tacos on the eastern seaboard. Cuban food in Miami rocks...better than in Cuba. Miami also has great...

    Off-Topic A Latin America Thread

    That's a very fair observation. Very insular, unlike say Argentinians who will set up a beef or empanada place wherever they go. My wife had a lot of Brazilian peeps in her office so I got to taste some first rate Brasilian food (was also lucky to go to Rio for the Olympics back in 2016). The...
