Still in need of clothing

Job offer accepted, starts 22nd, seasonal thru January

part time so I require a second job to survive garnish, rehousing, and medical continuation, but it’s a huge step, and padding on the resume

I’ve got 2 months to tighten up & secure. Anything helps

Attempting to thrift some appropriate clothing for my interview tomorrow; if anybody could help, a few bucks will go a long way.

I’m looking to buy nonslip shoes
A pair of slacks
Plain black shirts
And socks

(I’m living off of small, casual wardrobe that fit in small suitcase before I fled Maine

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

This is the scale model in question, used to figure out how to do a "ring bus" (big conveyor loop for each item, gets taken off of & fed on to at arbitrary points along it)

Top-down screenshot of a mess of conveyors, splitters, mergers, and storage containers on top of a concrete platform. Some of the conveyors come off of or go through the platform.

Annotated diagram, explaining the material flow each part of the model represents/tests.

If you are a woman or female presenting in the Valley look out for a man with glasses and this plate. Took it off a TikTok video in which LITERALLY HUNDREDS of women reported him asking for help moving a box from his backseat to his trunk with a fake bandage around his arm, something Ted Bundy did.

Honestly it's insane to see the Portland "disappearing 2020 protestors into unmarked vans" Police "Tear gassing random passers-by" Department behave this reasonably

Love how this is basically saying "yeah grandpa complains about how things were better back in his day, but if you Look Out Your Fucking Window, things are actually better now"

1909

According to evidence of elderly people, the world has been growing worse with each generation; men less manly; women less womanly, honesty less common; religion less of an influence. According to the evidence of conditions, however, the world seems to have been growing ever and always a better place for the human race to live in.

Not had personal experience, but seems like it's a common issue yeah

Someone will probably correct me if I'm wrong here, but iirc it was primarily staff salaries (people are expensive!), followed by bandwidth costs

(Storage is generally quite cheap - it's *moving* that data to users that gets expensive)

And then there's regional CoL - several of the Cohost staff were, iirc, in the SF bay area

And this was despite the fact that the user-to-subscriber conversion ratio was orders of magnitude higher than "industry standard"

Social media sites are just extremely expensive to run for very little return

Just giving this a boost! I still really need help with my portion of rent and the first round of bills I'll have to pay this month

Anything you could spare would help this critter out a ton, but even if you're only able to repost that'll still make a big difference!

Isk @iskaudiir.bsky.social · 13d

Reh reh, with october coming up really soon, I could use some help to make sure that I can pay my portion of rent and also knock out some early month bills. Rent is the biggest concern rn, and I'd need $300 for that -w-;

I know it's a lot to ask, but anything helps!
