You're never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.

Ham radios are awesome though and that's less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.

Wait, BDSM is a group event?

I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.

30yo kind of have their lives together.

Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.

From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I'm 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

Wait you read sci-fi where a planet has THREE governments?

Maybe I'm reading bargain bin material but the stories I see is a mono-culture, with a mono-religion and if I'm extra blessed, a single ecosystem like frost planet, or sand planet.

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people's accounts.

Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn't like you, say you sold "Fuck PayPal stickers", they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.

My kids went through a period where I could wrap a box of crayons up over and over and that would make their whole day. Literally beaming at just getting anything.

The worst part, the demo was actually pretty good.

They literally could have released this game with mod support, and sold it for $20 and it would have been a fun party game.

Instead, they kept going on with BS games as a service.

I'm all for this.

Can't solve the fentanyl crisis without knowing what it is, right?

 

Been loving Oblivion Remaster and not sure where to share these.

 

I work downtown. I personally take the bus to work and walk.

While getting feedback from our paid intern's experience, one complained about having to pay for parking.

Because I naturally always support the interns, I pushed for that perk. Why shouldn't they get all the help they need? They're young, they have a busy life and they're trying their best.

But my coworker (who drives) said, "Theres street parking and they are complaining they have to walk 14 minutes over."

Now my internal "Fuck Cars" position is battling with my "Give the Interns everything".

I'm not the deciding factor. Just wanted to share this.

Summary

Alan Filion, an 18-year-old from California, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for orchestrating 375 swatting incidents between August 2022 and January 2024. Operating under various aliases, Filion charged clients for making false emergency calls that prompted significant police responses. His hoaxes included threats of school shootings and bombings, targeting institutions across the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Despite being questioned by the FBI in July 2023, he continued his activities until his arrest in January 2024, where he pled guilty to multiple charges.

 

A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.

The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.
