This reminds me of the photos of cars lined up at food banks early in the pandemic. One of the more famous photos was taken at the food bank where I live, in San Antonio: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/17/8371414

Yeah, voting is such a pain in Texas compared to other states. My brother requested a mail in ballot because of a disability and never received it this year. Him and my parents were also out of state for a medical reason, had to stay longer

I don't know your personal situation, but the way I interpret things is kind of like this: - FAANG got bloated during the bubble and anticipated growth that isn't materializing as fast, so they're cutting headcount. Similar f

Yeah. The homestead exemption limits tax increases to "only" 10% per year, but it will still be a lot for people who count on their home payment staying static. And, getting the homestead exemption isn't automatic, so anyone

Is there any good open source or publicly usable steganography software with reasonable UX? Page 1 of Google shows this thing called OpenStego. I've heard of steganography but have no idea what tools are reputable in this space.
