I generally dislike editorialized headlines (when used as post titles) but this is the exception. Nicely played.

That’s actually closer to real poor than I thought, but I know people who live comfortably on way less. Guess he’s just gonna have to give up the avocado toast until he pulls himself up by his bootstraps.

I’m largely guessing here, but I’d venture he’s just “rich person broke” which is still wealthier than most people will ever be. Again, just a guess.

This piece of shit will appeal all the way to our corrupt SCOTUS and get this nullified. I hate this timeline.

Probably, but that is yet to happen. Until then, join me in just reveling in the headline for a while.

Hard to say. I’m not sure of the delivery radius that’s allowed here and whether rural food deserts would even be eligible or not. I was just mentioning that ordering (non-perishable) groceries online and having them shipped does have a legit and unfortunate use case.

Back when I lived 45 miles minutes from the closest grocery store, I’d order my non-perishables online and they’d usually come via UPS or FedEx.

This isn’t really the demographic they’re catering to but Food Deserts are a sad reality for many in the US. Being able to order staple food and have them delivered (even if it’s not same day) is often less painful than driving 30-50 miles to the closest grocery store.

It’s the fire department doing the monitoring for those in a state where drought and wildfires are huge concerns.

Nope, and that was one of the selling points when I bought the place years ago lol.

Plus, the HOA zone would have to be massive since sound travels far and wide when those things fire off.

Unincorporated suburb, so no ordinance other than just being shitty, inconsiderate neighbors.

Best (only?) case would be a county ordinance.

I miss the days when the obnoxious fireworks were illegal in my state :sigh:

This year, Sacramento upped the fine to $1,000 for the first firework, $2,500 for the second and $5,000 per firework after that. If you lit a firework on city property, such as a park or a school, the fine goes up to $10,000 each. There’s no limit to how many fines you can be issued.

“If we see multiple fireworks being used at a single property, we can stack the violations based upon how many fireworks they’re using,” SFD Fire Marshal Jason Lee told KCRA. “So, it could be thousands of dollars per location.”

Hell yeah. Keep me awake till 3 am with your constant “boom boom boom”, that’s gonna cost ya. The only thing that would make this story better is if after a certain threshold, they bring in armed Predator drones.

If I’m coming off a bit cranky, it’s because I’ve barely slept in 4 days.

Probably different batches. Recall info said it was due to an issue with a single supplier. Not even all of the listed models are affected, just certain serial numbers for each model.

Web app, specifically, or any apps?

I’m also familiar with these three (web) apps:

• Alexandrite: https://alexandrite.app/
• Mlmym (Old Reddit Lookalike): Not sure if there’s an “open” instance of it, but several instances offer it. See https://old.lemmy.world/ for an example (not sure if SJW offers Mlmym or not).
• Voyager: https://vger.app/

Might also also check out https://lemmyapps.com/ which has a good list that you can filter by platform/feature.

Remember non vegans, your lust for meat and the resulting impact on the climate will eventually force you to stop eating meat. You played yourselves.

FYI: This ☝️. This is why people don’t like vegans. It has nothing to do with your dietary choices or choosing to not use or consume products derived from animals - seriously, no one gives a shit; you do you. It has everything to do with the militantly self-righteous, condescending, preachy, holier-than-thou attitude, the constant proselytizing, and the demonizing/name-calling/general shitty behavior that comes with the former.

Sincerely,

A vegetarian who doesn’t make it my whole personality

Edit: Every single direct reply to this has further illustrated the point I was making. Maybe instead of being preachy and condescending, you just lead by good example. If people see and want what you have they’ll follow. Otherwise, you’re just shooting your own cause in the foot with your abominable behavior.
