Check out your local recycling center, they often do tours!

There is a board game! There’s also a virtual version of Mapmaker on Board Game Arena

It is quite fun despite the depressing context.

I’m just a simple prospector digging up some old dank memes

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do

It currently is the same schedule as heroin (schedule 1)… “Rescheduling” is the name of the regulatory process that was ongoing, but could not conclude in time. These things take time to do properly and hold up in court and make them stick, it wasn’t from lack of desire.

The Biden administration was in the process of federally legalizing cannabis through the proper regulatory channels, but couldn’t finish in time before his term ended.

There’s two subreddits I really miss: AskScience and AskHistorians. I was a regular and flaired contributor to AskScience, but its super helpful to generate a response when there’s a good question. It would feel weird opining on a random science topic that I come up with. And I loved the well sourced AskHistorians posts. When I do see a c/AskHistorian post on Lemmy the responses are very low effort

The prairie dogs are a native species, we’re the invasive ones! I’d also say that all the oil drilling around Minot is more damaging than these cute little guys

The majority of US federal agriculture subsidies go to corn production, the majority of corn production is for live stock feed. Anybody who brings up spending that money on vegetables or basically anything other than corn gets silenced pretty quick

We have an 11 year old rescue pup from Puerto Rico, he’s a really good boy. They kind of have their own breed going on on the island. We DNA tested him and he’s about 1/3 Chihuahua, 1/3 “super mut”, and then like small portions of a dozen other breeds. He loves laying outside all day on the hottest days of the year.

Hmm I wonder which power source may be best suited for dry and sunny areas with abundant land available

Right, I try to spread the word :)

Propublica is an excellent nonprofit investigative journalism organization. They have a strong track record of holding powerful companies accountable and achieving real world results/consequences. They often partner with local news organizations to help give them good content and there’s never a paywall either.

We really like our Ioniq 5 for longer road trips, the new models come with an NACS port too. The lack of good CCS chargers has a draw back, but now it seems a simple adapter can enable supercharging with NACS

The $20k compact EV pick up by Slate (new start up) may be of interest https://electrek.co/2025/05/12/slates-20k-electric-pickup-suv-100k-reservations/

It’s no frills, there isn’t even a center console to speak of

This is why. Republicans in Congress are planning to take “at least” $880 Billion over ten years out of Medicare and Medicaid to pay for extending tax cuts for the wealthy. There are also ads in the opposite direction raising alarm about this. They say they’ll make the cuts without reducing benefits, and by that they generally mean they’re going to pay doctors even less for caring for those patients.

The Coalition to Strengthen Healthcare has some resources to facilitate grass roots advocacy if you’re interested!

Plants are actually pretty sensitive to soil compaction, which can take a lot of time to reverse. the composition clay/sand in the soil can changed the time it takes to resettle, and it might even just erode down to rock.

Our Shark brand vacuum has been a world of difference with dog hair in the carpet, compared to our previous vacuum. They have several models in your price range
