Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time,
Vulcan’s was the only deal initiated by a top aide to the president.
After defense officials got the White House request, they asked Pentagon staff to move at an unusually rapid pace,
said a person who was involved in the deal at the Pentagon but not authorized to speak about it.
The staff worked late nights and with little sleep to get the loan through in a matter of weeks, the source said.…

The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.
About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

Chasity James raised questions about security at the facility.
She said students told her that the area where her nephew was found is a known gathering spot on campus
and that it was past curfew time when his body was discovered.
“It was past curfew time. No one came looking. No one wanted to get involved. It was the students who found him. It wasn’t staff,” James said.
She said students told her they saw Justice at 8:30 p.m. with his girlfriend and that students fou…

I just published a new release of Crell/Serde for PHP, v1.6.0.
Nothing drastic in this release. Mostly cleanup and bug fixing around nulls. But it does now support using an Enum as a type map, which is neat. Get it from your usual Packagist sources.
Thanks to our newest contributors for those fixes! It's great to see more people getting involved.

When the Pentagon announced a
$620 million loan last year
to a small North Carolina startup linked to Donald Trump Jr.,
defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. 
The president’s eldest son said through a spokesperson that he wasn’t involved.
The Pentagon said Trump Jr. played no role in the record-setting deal.
And the startup’s founder told reporters that his company,
Vulcan Elements, received no political favor…

I never thought I’d be doing this at my age…
That’s what my friends Karen and Chris told me recently. She’s a retired teacher; he’s a retired firefighter. They are a Canadian couple from Alberta who, over the past few years, have travelled the world, spent time with their family, and helped over a thousand individuals and couples build an online business that removed financial anxiety from their lives.
How did they do this? They got involved in an online business a few years ago and helped others do the same. They had a mentor to guide them from day one. But on top of that they had access to and support of other experienced people on the team. They were able to take advantage of a huge library of training resources that showed them how to get started and keep going in an effective manner. And they had the flexibility to work on their new business based on their priorities and schedules.
The results speak for themselves.
If you’re wondering if it’s possible for you, message me to learn more.

South Carolina has decided not to get involved in Donald Trump’s redistricting war.
The state Senate voted 24–20 Tuesday to leave their House districts alone for the upcoming midterm elections.
Twelve Republicans broke ranks to join all Democrat state senators in the decision -- which will likely save the state’s one blue seat held by Representative James Clyburn.
A few Republican legislators, such as state Senator Richard Cash, changed their votes due to timing.

I wish I understand *why* what I did fixed the problem that I still don’t understand, but it did.
I was just trying to get all 5 VMs involved onto one host so I could snoop on the traffic between them more easily.
I’m blaming stuck ARP or Spanning Tree. Two of those VMs were briefly fighting over the same IP last night before I fixed the freshly-minted clone to use its proper new one.

One of the things that I needed to do in in an early job was to go into backcountry cabins and deal with haunta virus. It involved going into the cabin, wearing a respirator and a bunny suit, opening all of the windows, and then spraying every surface down with bleach water. They told us that if you get haunta virus, the death is painful and quick.
Dealing with that was kind of easy. Just don't go wander through an old cabin without doing that. Possible person to person infection is scary.

One of the side-effects of a choice I made more than a decade ago, is that I get informed of new networks that are performing ssh scanning/guessing on one of my servers - because I naively assumed there were a limited number of networks involved (not realising it's mostly hijacked machines, rather than hackers renting VPSes).
Anyway, there's been an uptick in the last few weeks of new networks originating this traffic.

@… After all, that is why just about every FOSS license allows you to fork and develop onwards on your own.
It’s okay to just use my project as a stepping stone towards the project *you* want, without expecting me to get involved.
Feels like a lot of folks out there don’t consider that option for whatever reason.

Went down the pub for a couple of hours to celebrate the Green victories in the borough.
Despite the victory only being about a third of the seats, they seemed pretty jubilant. This council was pretty much 100 percent Labour till now so taking a third is still quite a victory.
Some people surprised they won and now have to to be a councilor when they didn't really expect to have to be a councilor.
Would be good to get more involved with the party in the abstract. In actual practice though I'm always either busy or unwilling to really get dressed and leave the flat.
Should at least try and keep more of an eye on what's going on. See if there's things I can do to help out.
Sounds like that's mostly on Whatsapp groups though, and I ain't installing no Zuckerberg spyware for it for sure.

But no. The power button keeps falling off. So far I find it and push it back in but one of those times involved taking the couch apart.
