Yeah, although now that its officially on a recall I'll have to evaluate the options we have

I hope that lemmy doesn’t grow any heavier than it is growing right now

I hope for more like minded individuals to help them out

How is the latter supposed to happen without the former? Like it or not, many of us are here solely because Reddit went to shit with their extreme monetization. Lemmy is still a really small community and absolutely NEEDS larger adoption in order to remain a viable option

I have no issue with this, I personally wouldn't use it but I get that they need to make money (which is why i have a recurrent donation every month).

If this helps them to do that, then so be it

IPA has a freezing point of -128F/-89C. Those bad boys in some sort of stainless steel insert = a fucking coooold drink

Or you use them in a cooler, where everything is sealed anyway and your drinks will get cold super quick + it'll clean off the cans too

Can confirm i am a melanated individual who doesn't use sunblock as often as i should (but im also never outside LMFAO)

But yes you're absolutely correct but I just wanted to clarify that we should be using sunblock but nevertheless it's still not as much of a risk to us

No, having certain skintones doesn't magically make you immune to skin cancer, wear your fucking sunscreen.

Complete protection? Certainly not, but melanin does provide some protection from UV radiation. Still important to wear sunscreen because if a melanated individual where to get skin cancer it usually has a higher mortality rate because they're often caught late.

Epidemiological data strongly support the photoprotective role of melanin as there exists an inverse correlation between skin pigmentation and the incidence of sun-induced skin cancers (1) and subjects with White skin are approximately 70 times more likely to develop skin cancer than subjects with Black skin (67). The shielding effect of melanin, especially eumelanin, is achieved by its ability to serve as a physical barrier that scatters UVR, and as an absorbent filter that reduces the penetration of UV through the epidermis (68). The efficacy of melanin as a sunscreen was assumed to be about 1.5-2.0 sun protective factors (SPF);

Did you see the clip? It seems like an overreaction to me, he was slowing down but just happened to make the pass in the process. It's honestly not THAT egregious IMO

Its a really good machine, and super quiet. I didn't set up the WiFi although now that you mention it, i should bring it into Home assistant

Awesome, I just installed one of these last year and now it might be up for a potential recall ;-;

With any luck it'll be a returnless replacement so i can swap out one of my other units that's noisy as fuck

You being blocked is very much a you problem, and shouldn't cause the rest of us to avoid posting links to a well known and reputable news source

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly. While Lemmy isn't exactly like the Internet archive, at least its self hosted so you could preserve anything you want for as long as you wanted on here

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes, or if you find a solution you can post it here for preservation. I've posted some guides and info that i pulled from Reddit onto here because the way things are going, I can't guarantee that information will still be available in a years time.
