If you heard about that hacking of the voices of traffic light crosswalks in the US recently, the root cause is the devices all had the password '1234' and an app to reprogram the devices was on the Apple app store.

At Target, I managed a team that reset part of the store daily. It programmed shoppers for variety, but there was also the aspect in article. People who are lost in a store spend more money. https://sebs.website/blog/the%20gruen-transfer-is-consuming-the-internet #deadinternettheory, #consumerism
I'm doing my election officer training for the upcoming Virginia primary #election in June. One of the things that they train us on is the set of IDs that are acceptable. It's complicated (and obviously it's a part of the law they just LOVE to tinker with every year). The training goes to some trouble to explicitly name Costco membership cards as not an acceptable ID for voting. They don't call out any other membership by name like that. I wonder if there's a real problem with Costco IDs being offered as ID when #voting.
Don’t mind me, I’m just here in the corner, eating out of my emotional support cereal bowl
Can't find much info about this photo. Reddit says it's from the Soviet Union in the 80s. I'd like to meet this guy, and his camel.

I'm starting to dabble in hydroponics to grow veggies and fruits indoors. A friend lent me a grow tent and a spare grow lamp.
I'm really interested in trying the Kratky method for growing some leafy greens (lettuce, kale, and/or bok choy) and probably some herbs.
Any success stories, tips, tricks, or suggested veggies I should try out?
It's also an interesting front-row seat on the ol' "Why doesn't the left have a Joe Rogan?" problem. Right-wingers have more social media creators... because they pay them.
Right-wing social media is a job. Lefty social media is a passion project that burns out people out.
I think we need to look past even the current batch of open platforms. Make backups, keep your contact lists, have an old school way to reach people you care about. Normalize asking for phone numbers.
