I’m about 30 minutes south of Tampa Bay. We got hit hard by wind but the flooding was less than it was during Helene, but we also had a dam or something burst during that which caused a majority of the flooding. Our power was out for the night but we woke up to it being back on. We’re lucky because I have family not even a mile away that still doesnt have power tonight. Lots of trees knocked down and blocking roads, but I saw about a dozen different landscaping businesses going through the neighborhoods and clearing up roads and getting rid of the downed trees. I have family that live in a community with a golf course and the houses on the course got wrecked by the wind. A majority of houses in Florida, especially with pools, have these screened cages called lanai’s and a lot of those have either been ripped open or completely collapsed. It seems like most stores are gonna open back up tomorrow so people will be able to get essentials again. I think everyone is just thankful that it wasn’t as bad as it could be.

I had an employee direct me to self checkout at a fucking gas station were I was the only customer in the store. Shits pathetic.

It doesn’t, it’s because people shoplift at self checkout all the time and the big retailers can’t figure out how to stop it. Almost every shop in my town forces you to do self checkout, they don’t even have cashiers most of the time. Last time I was at my local walmart they had like 6 self checkouts and 4 cashiers just standing there staring at everyone trying to find shoplifters. They still can’t find them though lol.

Gasoline and diesel too apparently.

There’s this one streamer/YouTuber I used to watch a lot, but after some controversy I didn’t feel comfortable watching him anymore. For months now I’ve been telling YouTube to stop recommending his channel and it still pops up.

If you don’t like the artist, then block them. It’s not that hard. I blocked Travis Scott after he got those people killed at his concert and I haven’t seen a single thing with him since.

What’s the difference between an expat and an immigrant?

What I’m wondering is if being out sick for 2 or more days takes up your other call outs, or if it counts as one.

Yeah because DUIs happen on public roads so it would go to DOT before it would go to ATF, now if that person was transporting illegal alcohol then ATF would probably get involved.

Has a Democrat been the speaker of the house since January 6th?

A lot of commercial planes are tail heavy, loading a bunch of people in the back first is going to tip it. Doesn’t even need to tip all the way to cause damage. It’s a scary thing to see in person. So yes it does matter what order people are seated in.

Most receipts have the card number printed on them one way or another. So unless it was a cash transaction they could still prove it was you.

Read the article dude, it’s the exact opposite of theft and copyright infringement.

Your phone has a speaker, just use that to listen to music in the car.

And then after I spend over $100 on a decent stereo, $50 for an adapter for my car, and the $80 to have some kid install it for me I’ll be $250 in the hole and still paying for a Spotify subscription so I can listen to music that’s not shit. Or for $100 I could buy a cheap ass tablet and shove it into my air vent.

Why’s Florida a shit hole other than it’s politics?

Who’s the monopoly here on Lemmy? The collective group of individuals that disagree with you? Because that’s almost the literal opposite of a monopoly.
