Nobody on here needs a reason to hate landlords but, TIL “When Lombardi's business suffered in the early portion of the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020s, Lombardi ended its lease at 32 Spring Street (although keeping 30 Spring Street) and the owner of the building destroyed the coal oven.”

I don’t care what the rationale was, only a monster would destroy that iconic pizza oven.

This is a 2021 story but the before and after pictures of what the Rio Tinto mining company did to an aboriginal sacred site are stark. All for $100m in iron ore which, based on the numbers in the article, was largely going to c-suite salaries and bonuses. Just gross

Does anyone have a usb cable tester they recommend? Searching Amazon turns up a lot of sketch. I’m to the point where I don’t trust any of my cables and I want to replace and recycle… #askfedi

They just don’t make home fixtures like they used to. We renovated the bathroom 8 years ago and I’ve had to replace the shower mixing valve twice and the toilet tank hardware twice. Today was the toilet tank. Piece of advice: when renovating, get the most bog-standard things you can. Nothing is more annoying than realizing you’ve got the oddball brand that has some special hoop to jump through.

Also, you can totally do your own toilet repair and replacement. Don’t pay a plumber.

“Children belong to their parents, not the state”, part of a statement from a Virginia spokes-monster after pulling LGBTQ+ resources from a gov health website.

Apparently kids in Virginia are property, not autonomous humans with opinions and hopes and dreams.
