Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”
  • I think it is the opposite. Because everyone knows they don't need the subscription, right or wrong Peloton needs to make up for subscriptions losses by introducing these one-time fees.

    Mixed-race voters say Donald Trump’s attacks on Kamala Harris’ race are painfully familiar
  • I was so hoping you were going to say that they discouraged you from putting white so that it opened you up for diversity-based scholarships. I am so disappointed to hear that was not the case. What they did is really messed up.

    They don't want you to know
  • I'd assume it isn't see through because you load it up with dirty dishes that sit for days before you run it. No one wants to spend days staring at the crusty spoon meemaw dipped in the peanut butter and licked like an ice cream cone before the wash is finally run

    I know which one I am, unfortunately.
  • That's a good attitude to have when you are trying to calm a mind anxious about whether you forgot something, but it is a really wasteful strategy long-term

    'Black Americans for Trump' event a 'major bust' that featured 'a sea of white people'
  • You are right. Turning an adjective into a noun tends to make it more degrading because you've focused on the characteristic rather than the person. That's why referring to people as "blacks" or "females" feels icky. It's why we saw "deaf people" and not "the deafs" or "old people" and not "the olds."

    Japan is giving Washington 250 new cherry trees to replace those to be lost in construction work
  • As the other commenter already said, it is really hard to transplant old trees. Think about how big tree roots get. There is no way to save 100% of a planted tree's roots so cuts have to be made. And by the time you are able to free the tree from the ground, you've often cut too much of its roots for it to survive.

    Do you sit at a desk and keyboard for multiple hours? If yes, please recommend a good chair.
  • I have the Haworth Fern chair below and love it. It is expensive, but worth it in my opinion. You don't want to skimp on something you sit in all day- and I could sit in this chair all day without pain.

    My only other piece of advice is to schedule breaks to stand and stretch. I had a standing desk for a while and I did not care for it. I never got used to standing and working- maybe I am just not coordinated enough. But taking standing breaks helped with my back pain and improved my focus.

    Good luck!

  • Probably start actual fake news about him supporting progressive policies? Either his fan base would start to hate him or maybe we'd finally get some progressive policies passed

    23andMe confirms hackers stole ancestry data on 6.9 million users
  • If you've ever had blood work done at the doctors office or had any tissue removed, your DNA is almost certainly on file somewhere. Human specimens are very valuable in research so whatever isn't needed for testing is sent off to various research facilities. There really aren't laws about tissue ownership so medical facilities can do whatever they like without your permission, though some still ask. Source: "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"

    13 states will join the IRS direct income tax filing pilot in 2024 - The Verge
  • It's becuase Texas doesn't have state income taxes so there is literally nothing extra they need to do to comply. Same goes for Florida and Tennessee, which commenters also mentioned.

  • I keep getting signed out of lemmy.world (in Jerboa and in a web browser). I tried resetting my password, reinstalling Jerboa, moving to my web browser, but I still have the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix this?
