Allyson: My Friend's Place is the actual name of the organization, right? Because my mind keeps processing it as a protecting-the-innocent, not-her-real-name placeholder thing.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's the actual name, Robert. www.myfriendsplace.org
It is designed to take the stigma out of homelessness. When one is applying for a job, or talking to other random people, they can say, "I'm staying at my friend's place." And that's easier than saying, "I'm staying at the shelter."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They have a fallout shelter where the status is discussed, but it's full of noise, and there are no actual answers to why it's been down for weeks. Or when it's coming up, or where the $11K went.

Crap.
Thanks.

Ann, that's a ferret.
WX just posted in the fallout shelter that the $11K went for the new server that's causing the trouble. But nothing on when it'll be back full time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
WX has been up on occasion. I was able to get in the other day. Not today, though.

They can't can get large files transferred out of the database. Which is why using proprietary databases suck.

It's their damned database! WX is a marketing site for the product.
What a lousy testimonial.
