# Steemit's Weekly Scoop https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmTtFiHtjnFmyZc8HYeqfuGiq9Nuq9Wprpisyb8MVZRCgy We're getting close to the last days of October. Let's see if we can get you a digest of interesting and news-worthy posts to read. **** **** # Welcome Back Gina!

Had no idea that she's a *resource hog* at around 50GB/day internet bandwidth. @neander-squirrel wrote the above post and everybody sent their support to revive Gina. Thanks to @reggaemuffin for stepping in and neander-squirrel for all he does. **Gina, we missed you. Glad you got a new home.** ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmbKFmHe3QVNfSQF4GN3rHFabJCixCoUT5rw7MYMJAowoE) ![steemitweeklydivider](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmPmq7WpsXVBdkZzH18npfbMRTsZX6fRB6WAL2WkCMiLjx) # Where's Ned?
