What about the rainbow flag on them

There's a remove ads option in the sidebar. It does not include Sync Ultra benefits such as user tagging, cloud backup, etc.

The one thing I miss about living up north is that it actually cools down in the evenings. Texas stays around 100 degrees until about 9 pm.

No, they have nationwide jurisdiction.

No, you're right. It would be valid for you to select Latino regardless of skin color. I'm just referring to how the US surveys are often defined. Latino is under race but there's a separate question asking whether you are Latino/Hispanic.

If you identify as both white and Latino, yes. If you identify as white and Hispanic but not Latino, then no. [In the U.S.]*, Latino is considered a race as well as ethnic identity.

*Edit for clarification

How many users moved away from Lemmy.world to another instance?

My local subreddit, a liberal city, has been banning a bunch of people after it got taken over by anti-choice conservatives who don't even live there.

Some people find it more comfortable than hanging fabric.

Yes, a flexitarian is a part-time veg but still sometimes eats animal products. A vegan does not consume or use any animal products for ethical reasons. If you consume a vegan diet but still buy animal products to wear, clean with, etc, then you consume a plant-based diet but are not technically vegan.

The problem with saying plant-based is that it implies "based on plants" with no rigid definition. Some people think it means "vegetarian but not vegan" or just "mostly plants." I have even seen products that contain animal products that I am allergic to marketed as "plant-based," so it's just not a good term for me.

Ah, that's good to know. It seems their vegan products have "vegan" printed on the front label, so I'll have to keep an eye out in case they decide to carry them in the US.

This term has been around for decades and still, very few people know what it means. As someone who eats 0 animal products 90+% of the time, it's just easier to say "mostly vegan."

Some people will nitpick and say that I mean plant based instead of vegan but the general public knows what vegan means and do not think of plant based as synonymous with "vegan in diet only" so I'll continue to use what doesn't require a ton of explanation.

Do they make vegan ones now or do they all still have eggs?

Is that a snoo fucking a pig

Congrats on being in a position to be able to do that.

That would be extreme even for Texas. Texas has laws in place to prevent HOAs from prohibiting water conservation efforts such as xeriscaping, growing native grasses instead of exotic, rain barrels, etc. Most of Texas undergoes drought restrictions already. If we didn't, we would certainly run out of water. Banning water conservation would be stupid even by Texas standards.

Granted, Texas also does stupid shit such as restricting water usage in communities while pumping out that same water to sell to 3rd parties.

Typically, yes. They issue citations and increasing levels of fines for each violation, and they disconnect your water if you don't respond or pay in a timely manner. How quickly they respond to reports and how often they issue citations varies by city. Some cities even employ patrol units to enforce violations during severe drought conditions. Some cities aren't giving out warnings at all anymore but going straight to citations/fines.

The city is saying no outdoor use at all: https://m.facebook.com/blancocityhall?fref=nf&ref=embed_post

Water restrictions vary by city, but landscape irrigation is indeed restricted. Usually they go up to stage 4, which typically limits to watering once a week or once every 2 weeks.

Apparently stage 5 is defined by the city as indoor use only: https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/city-of-blanco-stage-6-water-restrictions/269-22171b66-f29b-4e1a-b57a-9e434ecf34c1

Blanco county is currently at stage 3, which limits watering from 7-10 AM or PM and not at all on non-watering weeks. https://www.txwaterco.com/water-conservation/drought-management/blanco-county-drought-conditions

Interestingly, they include hand watering in the restrictions. My city has designated days and times you are allowed to water, but hand watering is allowed at any time.

GOP is all about stripping parents of choice. They want to brainwash kids with state-sponsored propaganda. Right now they're teaching "opposing views" of things like the Holocaust and evolution, but later they'll remove all dissenting viewpoints so all you learn is propaganda. Most schools in Texas don't even properly teach the Civil War. It's states' rights and northern aggression. Many parents have no idea when they move here, then later come to regret it.
