Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Even if there was fraud, which there is little to none by all accounts, fraud for obtaining *food* is the least bad fraud on the planet... really the only thing that would make it super bad is some rich asshole stealing it.

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more

Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

Reproducible builds are a means to an end.
The end being independent verification.

The problem is, we already have tons of things that go into builds that have always been reproducible (source tars), and these aren't generally verified.

Reproducible builds don't save us. Verification does.

I will be one of the first to go when AI rises.

I don't buy the AI narrative around prosperity for all. There is plenty of money to go around yet it tends to flow to the top. I can't imagine a world where those in control of AI, assuming it actually works, will resist charging an ever increasing subscription fee cementing the haves and have nots.

If you're on SNAP you should know:

Due to the shutdown
Accrued SNAP benefits loaded onto your EBT card for previous months will NOT be available to use after this Friday, Oct 31

**States are urging recipients to use all available EBT benefits before this Friday**

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Maybe it's just me... but literally none of the algorithms work for me.
Not YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, none.

Don't record yourself in stereo.
I mean... if you are a professional... like a real professional of course do you.
Otherwise...just record in mono.

We live in a world where everything (container-based) is effectively statically linked and requires rebuilding and redeploying no matter what.

Say nothing of the fact that even in the old world you still need to restart your services that are linking to those libraries anyway.

So weird when I see ads for... a certain law firm... that is this big national firm now.
When I was a kid it was just a local (to Tampa) firm and had these super cheap commercials.

One thing I always hated in school is you'd write papers and at the end always have to add at the end "in conclusion <all the shit I just said>".
