Seriously? I moved to lemm.ee because it has a fair, democratic approach to federation, and doesn't defederate at the drop of a hat.

I'd personally rather be able to see more perspectives and block the crazy at my own discretion.

This is in response to the new California law that forces stores to clearly disclose that the customer is buying a temporary license.

The negative reaction comes from the fact that most hydrogen is produced by an energy intensive process that uses steam to crack petroleum products, and oil companies like BP have invested millions in greenwashing it to sound good.

She's public relations major who just got you to look at a headline about her. I'd say she's pretty smart, but lacking in morals and empathy.

While I complete and totally agree that it should be legalized, or at least federally rescheduled and completely decriminalized, I worry about what happens when it's federally regulated and taxed.

If it is federally legalized and taxed, it will likely become the domain of the ATF, who will ~~take over~~ continue kicking in doors and doing raids on anyone who is not a huge corporate grower. Marlboro has already trademarked Marlboro Greens and I'm sure every other tobacco giant has their branding ready.

Leaving regulation and taxation to each state is probably better long term, otherwise it's just going to be a corporate cash grab with established local growers and suppliers getting screwed.

Regardless, it should be completely legal to grow it in your back yard.

Yes, but will humans realize that before everyone has starved and the knowledge of how to do those things is gone?

Until our voting system is changed from First-to-the-Finish to Ranked Choice, it's impossible for a third party to be a legitimate option.

I would love to see a third party candidate be successful, but if these third parties can't even complete their paperwork on time and take opposition party funding, they are not legitimate.

My mom is in her late 70s, still working and flying around for gigs, and she always has her Switch and Breath of the Wild or TOKT with her on flights.

Gaming transcends any age.

FabFilter Pro-C 2 is my go-to.

PG&E is very blatantly trying to crush EV adoption in California. They're even advertising their EV plan by comparing their pricing to buying gas at the pump.

$0.65/kWh during peak is probably the highest power cost in the whole US, even including Hawaii.
