Jacksonville, Florida, mayor has Confederate monument removed after years of controversy
  • Duval is a very purple county that flips often. There is an active voter base here. Making generalizations about a city with a million people, let alone one of the most populous states in the country doesn't help anything and only makes you look like a dumbass

  • When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status
  • Commenting on your comment not because I expect you to have them or anything, it's just the top comment so hopefully someone sees this. I know there's a handful of links out there to browse instances. Are there any that can see who's defederated with who/ which instances are federated with the most instances? I had another account on a .ml domain instance but they got purged with a bunch of others a couple of weeks ago. I use my lemmy.world account because it has the most-ish reach for finding new communities and whatnot

  • “We just lost 3TB of data on a SanDisk Extreme SSD” - The Verge
  • I didn't believe you but yeeeeeesh. Lots of self righteous penises ITT. If people buy an expensive hard drive, it should work. Not everyone knows everything there is to know about data storage, have a little grace people

  • I'm too stressed out to function and pissed at the world. What's the best bbq sauce to put on chicken legs?
  • Ground white pepper should do the trick if you have some. It's 99% heat and 1% pepper flavor so it would be a good stand in for horseradish. My brain first went to ground ginger but it won't really be a good sub for horseradish. Though it may taste good given the other ingredients. If you don't have white pepper, I'd just up the cayenne. It doesn't have that nostril burning quality to it but it'll be spicy nonetheless

  • Sure, you could point out their hypocrisy using the bible. It won't make them reconsider their position, but you can do it. I dont see what that has to do with trans healthcare though

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yeah I thought this was old news. I'm a licensed medical professional in Florida and I received an email from the department of health about these changes 3 or 4 months ago. The one about refusing care on moral grounds is newer, about a month or two old. This has been a thing for a good while now

  • What Are Some General "Buy It For Life" (Durable) Items You Recommend?
  • Here to rep the ceramic gang. Perhaps not as long lasting as cast iron, but I still have my first ceramic pan from 6? 7? years ago. Still as good as the day I got it. If you like non-stick and don't want to deal with maintinence or fear of fucking up a cast iron, ceramic is an excellent alternative with plenty of longevity.

    The only consideration for care needed is just to hand wash it over putting it in the dishwasher. Which you should already be doing for nonstick. People say you can use metal utensils on ceramic but I've never tested that

  • What Are Some General "Buy It For Life" (Durable) Items You Recommend?
  • Chiming in to say if you're in the market for a car (new or used) consumer reports is an indispensable resource, well worth the subscription price. I just cancel after I've bought a car. They have a catalogue going back decades and keep info on older cars up to date with longevity stats and common problems.

    Car forums are a huge help too. Name a car and there's a group of people who have made it their life's work to provide quality information on maintinence, repairs and minute quirks about it.

    Also, just buy a Toyota Corolla if you want "an car" that won't shit the bed on you.

  • I'm beginning to come around to anarchism, got any reading suggestions?

    I'm digging anarchists' more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated

    Arthur C. Clark once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". What technologies do we have today that would look like magic to people from the past?

    I think lasers are pretty wack when you think about them through this lens. A small, wand-like object in your hand can make light appear from seemingly nowhere. If it's powerful enough it can set things on fire or blind people. Not to mention larger ones like laser cutters or the LLD, used to destroy missiles midflight. Thats sure to blow some feudal peasant minds

    Good leftist news sources?

    Like many others, I used reddit as a link aggregator to keep up with news and current events. I'm never going back to reddit so I'm using ino reader as my news app and was hoping to get some suggestions on good sources to keep up on news, politics, etc. Any suggestions on sites I should check out to stay informed?
