Victims of domestic violence can change their SSNs!

See this PDF from the social security administration to see if you meet the criteria, and what you need to do: New Social Security Numbers for Domestic Violence Victims

What I like about this is that it's not just later in the day -- in the second panel she is pregnant with no baby, then has a baby, then a toddler and is pregnant, then a kindergartener and a toddler. It's probably at least 4 years later!

Here's a few! While I mostly use the RSS feeds from these sites, I often read the web versions too:

• Hack a Day, wonderful place to get clued into ground-up explorations of technical topics from the outside
• BBC News, good for a world perspective that's not fully US-centric but still in English
• OSNews, Operating System news for nerds like me who get legitimately excited for things like installing plan9 on bare metal
• Ken Shirrif's Blog, the paragon of long-form teardown & explanation of vintage electronics, deeply insightful, terrifyingly technical but still approachable. Okay, not a daily update, but worth the wait
• Create Digital Music, solid and considered electronic music instrument news and articles, for us unreformed synthesizer geeks

First it must become a branch, then work its way up to being a limb, and through perseverence and bravery, it may one day be a trunk. Trunks make great logs.

That's good to know. I don't believe them, but at least they have not gone full-out with it.

It is definitely important to start the paper trail sooner than later. I hope you are able to get to a better place very soon.

Strawberry preserves here!

Why should I change my name? They're the ones who suck 😆

I've done a bit of hiring and this won't pass the legal bar (even asking what town someone lives in can be evidence of intentionally trying to find out if the candidate is of "the right stock"), but I also rather like envisioning a comedy scene of someone trying to use toilets as a sneaky determinant 😆 Very Monty Python.

I imagine to do this they'll be uploading and scanning all of your text messages.

Edit: I was wrong! They say they won't.

Duck Tales! Awoo-oo!

It is just dicey, because income can be related to racial factors. Poor areas in many cities are often overwhelmingly non-white. It's something HR doesn't want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

This article is a lot of confident statements that are just shy of florid, with only weak anecdotal support, often just a sentence or even a single clause. It feels like the author leaned almost entirely on an LLM to generate it. It's so very disjointed and bland.

Ah, I see he's taking the spin class.

Phew! I'm glad you're all ok 😊

Looks like a Penicillium species, a very common colonist of yogurt (and lots of other foods). It definitely shouldn't be eaten, get a refund for that furry yogi!

Hurray!!

I like that the owner is an artist herself, they aren't VC backed, and they don't allow AI generated art. The verification process for accounts is interesting. I'll be interested to see where it goes from here.
