  • Beer drinking in America falls to the lowest level in a generation

    Jump

  • I also wonder how liquor sales are as well.

    My wife and I are obviously only one couple, so this is confirmation bias, but alcohol in general just isn't as appealing anymore. With all this general stress we've been going through (struggling with inflation, insane work hours, insane work conditions) alcohol is causing more migraines, sucky morning-after-drinking symptoms, high calories, expensive prices, there's just no good reason to drink as much as we used to. And it's not like we drank that much earlier in our lives as well.

    Tie this all together with marijuana availability which has none of these cons except for high taxes, then alcohol doesn't sound as appealing anymore.

  • Alabama mother with rare double womb gives birth to two babies in two days

  • What if both wombs conceived twins 😱😱

  • The Church of Trek

  • You believe in a space koala too??

  • Only 60% of student loan borrowers made payments when bills restarted in the US

    Jump

  • My payment was late because my servicer changed over COVID and when the auto-pay kicked in my bank rejected the withdrawal. Said they were an unrecognized entity or something.

    Had to get my servicer and bank on a 3-way call just to pay my loan. 🤦‍♂️

  • This person's rejection reason

    Jump

  • I honestly think there's a gray area here and it's worth talking to a lawyer if anything. There are certainly some protections for peoples under 40. Being denied a promotion because you're "too young" is certainly a protection. The catch is you have to prove it.

    This case is easy to prove though if there are any laws over this.

    Edit: but now that I think about it, this is only really a protection if you're already hired at the place. If you just slam the door on people before they can get in, discrimination seems to be legal.

  • Florida Republican party chair suspended amid rape accusation

    Jump

  • Initially I was with the other commenters, I can't believe he's facing any consequences from his party at all. It seems that's a damning sign that the accusations are correct.

  • Federal agency quashes Georgia's plan to let pharmacies sell medical marijuana

    Jump

  • I agree with the other commenter here. I could see this going the other way for smaller towns or more rural areas, but where I am at right now there are 4 dispensaries and 2 pharmacies in a 5 mile radius.

    It's also Sunday; one of those pharmacies is closed and the other one will close at 12 in the afternoon. As for the dispensaries, one of them will close at 5 and the others will close at 10 ~no different than any other day of the week.

    Getting rid of dispensaries in favor of pharmacies here would benefit nobody except for the drug companies.

  • Me when my friends complain about Twitter/X being a cesspool

    Jump

  • I use Megalodon as my Mastodon client and Sync as my Lemmy client right now. Does anybody know of any clients which work for both Lemmy and Mastodon at the same time on Android?

    Alternatively, any good Kbin clients? 😊

  • It goes deeper than that. On some of those keyboards, you'll see that there aren't even number keys and other somewhat common keys such as ()$&! And more.

    These types of keyboards are almost always programmable. If you're familiar with the FN key, then these keyboards have more advanced FN keys.

    Press one programmed FN key, the entire keyboard might turn into a functional number pad. Press a different programmed FN key, asdfghj might turn into F1 F2 F3 etc. Press another programmed FN key, you can control media playback, control your mouse, and maybe even have a few macros!

    These keyboards are ortholinear keyboards, that's what this grid layout is. The firmware to achieve this level of customization is called QMK. It's not just ortholinear keyboards that have QMK ☺️.

  • Kansas' top court says a GOP election law is vague and revives a lawsuit against it

    Jump

  • The only reason why we're in contention for a swing state is because the local Dems campaigns aren't actually stupid.

    Our Dems are far far right from where they ideally would be, but they aren't obtusely insane. They know that this state got rocked when Brownback and Republicans had complete control of the state and they try to keep us reminded.

  • I did a couple of cartography classes in college and I can say this is 100% correct.

  • Hey now, dontcha know they mark up prices if you pay with insurance? It's how the drug companies get even more money!
