  • ‘Segregated facilities’ are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts

    Jump

  • Segregated facilities are already illegal, including language about them in contracts is redundant, because contracts which compel illegal behavior are unenforceable.

  • Teslas torched at Las Vegas facility in ‘targeted attack’

    Jump

  • This is being coordinated and cheered on by users on enormous online platforms. If there was one or two fires in a single city or even state then I'd agree the FBI probably wouldn't even take a look.

    However given the very public and national nature of these targeted events, they're going to have a plausible excuse to investigate this as domestic terrorism.

    I'm not endorsing the FBI, or calling this terrorism, just stating how it's being handled by law enforcement.

    That said, folks should know that even a small platform like Lemmy is crawling with glowies, be careful.

  • What are your morning nighttime routines?

    Jump

  • Morning: Work out, shower, coffee, protein shake, make breakfast for my wife, hop on the laptop.

    Night: Cook dinner, kiss my wife when she gets home. Hit a few golf balls on the simulator. Watch an episode from an anime series if there's something new. Maybe have a cocktail with the neighbor.

    Shower, scroll for about 30 minutes, sleep.

    I feel very lucky, and try not to take each day for granted.

  • Man accidentally shot self in foot while attempting to kill cockroach

    Jump

  • That's even more bizarre; how does one hide a gun in their shoe??

    Ankle holster probably.

    Also, almost no pistol designed in the last 60 years will discharge when simply dropped on the ground (Sig P320 may be the exception here). I'm pretty sure this guy shot himself, and blamed it on an AD. What a moron.

  • Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?

    Jump

  • Thank you, I'm one of these people, as are most of the folks I know. I'll eat maybe a couple of teaspoons of honey per year, tops. And I cook 3 meals a day at home, from scratch, every day.

    Honey is great, I love bees, but I don't actually eat much honey.

  • dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

    Jump

  • All you have to do is look at what happened to the conservative community. There was a post asking whether it was meant for trolling conservatives or for actual discussion, and the resounding answer was that no conversation was possible with conservatives or anyone who holds right of center views.

    There were a few lemmings who posted in support of allowing conservatives to have a place to chime in, and they were downvoted into oblivion.

    That's being bullied off of Lemmy, which is fine, communities are self organized and managed, and chasing away wrongthink is apparently what the vast majority of this platform wants.

    Again, all of that is fine, but we shouldn't pretend chasing those people off wasn't the intended outcome, or that this isn't an echo chamber.

  • Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?

    Jump

  • french people should be exterminated

    Whoa

  • Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives!

    Jump

  • I agree, but most Lemmings seem to be completely intolerant of right of center views. I've never seen any content in that community that's right of center without being downvoted into oblivion.

    If Lemmings just don't want other views here, that's fine, it just kind of sucks when all I get is an echo chamber.

  • YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer

    Jump

  • Hard disagree. Try making a sauce which requires high heat, then very low heat. Turning the electric burner down doesn't immediately reduce heat, it cools off relatively slowly. I guess you could switch to another burner that was preheated to a low temp, assuming you have a free burner while cooking.

    I've worked for years in several professional kitchens and cook 3 meals a day, 7 days a week from scratch at home. I know how to use the tools in a kitchen, and non-induction electric burners are absolute garbage.

  • YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer

    Jump

  • I absolutely agree. I'm happy to switch to a new technology as long as it performs at least as well as my current implementation.

    I have a few cast iron and carbon steel pans, but most of my cooking vessels are thick copper (not copper inserts, full 3mm or more copper). Copper pans are superior to any other material (unless you prioritize cost) and are sadly incompatible with induction.

    Don't even talk to me about electric element (non induction) stoves, they're garbage for heat control.

  • YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer

    Jump

  • Just pointing out the person you replied to said CO which is carbon monoxide, not CO2

    The lack of formatting in their comment was confusing.

    That said, you're right that CO (or CO2) aren't the only harmful outputs of combustion.

  • Some in Hurricane Helene-ravaged North Carolina embrace Trump's push to abolish FEMA

    Jump

  • It sounds like she received aid, just not from where she expected.

  • Just think about it

    Jump

  • I think the spelling in this reply actually tells the story

  • What's the most effective at helping you sleep at night?

    Jump

  • In no particular order:

    • being fit
    • physically tired
    • no booze or cannabis on nights I actually have to sleep well
    • a completely dark room, no little lights on electronic devices, blackout curtains, etc..
    • a bed (I won't mention the brand unless asked) that adjusts to my sleep patterns. It measures my breath rate, heart rate, how often I move, if I'm snoring (rare), etc.. It then knows how well I'm sleeping and can soften or firm up, and tilt my upper body up or down. Depending on how my vitals change it learns how best to accommodate my sleep.

    If I have trouble due to stress or the neighbors are making noise I'll throw on an eye mask and ear plugs.

    I'm basically comatose 15 minutes after hitting the pillow and wake up before my alarm.

  • How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way?

    Jump

  • A falling knife machete has no handle.

  • sous vide bag buoyancy issues

    Jump

  • It's a game changer.

    Honestly I only used regular bags once in a sous vide before I gave up and ordered a cheap vacuum sealer.

  • What's a luxury that would break you if were no longer able to have it?

    Jump

  • and I sharpen those every 30 minutes

    I'm sorry, what?

    If I sharpened my knives after every 30 minutes of use I wouldn't have any steel left after a couple of months, tops. My knives are shaving sharp, I use them for several hours every day.

    If your knives hold an edge and are profiled correctly, sharpening every 30 minutes (even a quick touch up) is entirely unnecessary. Professional meat cutters and fishmongers annihilate cutting for 10 hours a day and require razor sharp tools, and they don't spend even close to as much time as you've claimed touching up their edges.

    Don't get me wrong, I love sharp knives, but either you're exaggerating or doing it wrong.

  • How often do you clean your home? Are there any techniques you use to reduce dust accumulation?

    Jump

  • I live near beach, it's pleasant year round. Much of my living space is permanently open to the elements, the rest of it has sliding/french doors and large windows that are open most of the time the dwelling is occupied.

    It's definitely a shelter.

    That said, stuff from outside sometimes gets inside. I clean, no biggie.
