The problem with scammers and loneliness these days is that everything is digital, so the scammer never gets the chance to fall in love with a plucky local librarian and change his wicked ways. And forget about the implications of not even having to buy a bunch of marching band instruments.

I’m back in your screens, talking about Allie 🫶🏻 and the importance of doing real things we know can save lives, like using tech and street design to slow drivers. 🚗

I get _why_ a term like "unalived" entered the lexicon, but, with it so commonplace and understood, why haven't the filters that it was introduced to bypass been updated to detect it? Or is such a workaround no longer necessary and we're just stuck with it?

Is there such a thing as a pull-through cache for S3? It looks like one could whip something together using S3 Object Lambdas, but that service appears to be deprecated.

SNAP news: Bowser says she'll use about $30 mil in contingency funds to ensure SNAP/WIC recipients get paid in November. She did something similar in the last long shutdown. Just yesterday she said she was waiting on the AG's lawsuit!

Living in DC, I'm always surprised to discover how many of my neighbors and associates live in constant fear of some form of aerial attack, from nukes to bombers.
