Outrage continues to grow against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem over her response to the deadly floods that ravaged Texas last week.
According to a Friday report from The New York Times,
more than two-thirds of phone calls to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from flood victims went unanswered
after Noem allowed hundreds of contractors to be laid off on July 5, just a day after the nightmare storm.
According to The Times, this dramatical…

The White House is singing a different tune these days.
Administration officials say abolishing the FEMA outright is not on the agenda -- with one senior official telling the Post that “changes in the agency will probably amount to a ‘rebranding’ that will emphasize state leaders’ roles in disaster response.”
Noem, who apparently had not received the new White House talking points, was still talking about scrapping FEMA this week,
when she claimed the agency is “slower to ge…

New shelves came in, went ahead and pulled the shorter ones out, installed the full length ones, installed the supports, and cleaned up the power cables. Also adjusted the hooks on the back so they make a bit more sense.
Do the new shelves seem crooked? Yes. However they should support the MS-A2s a bit better.

Thermal Management Design and Key Technology Validation for PandaX Underground Experiment
Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency still hadn't not answered nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.
The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers.
The agency laid off the contractors on July 5 after their contracts expired and were not extended
"The old-school traditional software engineering approach featured managers trying to get more productivity (measured in function points per day) from their over-stretched workforce. The new-school, post-Agile approach features managers trying to get more productivity from their over-stretched workforce, but now we measure in story points per day so that is progress, right?"

The South Coast Air Quality Management District will hold a public hearing Friday on two proposed regulations designed to limit key pollutants that form smog.
If adopted, the rules would phase out the sale of gas-powered furnaces and water heaters in the region.
Officials say the plan is crucial for reducing air pollution and improving public health, while opponents fear higher consumer costs.

I just had this crazy idea: How about organizing and tracking meetings in #Gitlab?
Every meeting type has its own repo, discussion topics are issues, labels are used for organizing and prioritizing, a meeting is prepared in a branch, the meeting notes are in a merge request per topic (issue), at the end of a meeting the meeting branch is merged into main and a new release is done, a CI/CD pipeline publishes the meeting notes and communication.
Has anyone tried this?
