you can! lemmy.ml is run by commies who are just less strict moderators than we are, so they're still federated. Just turn your front page on here to "All" instead of "Local" or subscribed

My understanding is that desantis at one point cracked down too hard on migrants, either successfully kicking them out or simply scaring them off to work elsewhere, resulting in Florida farms being unable to find enough cheap labor to harvest a lot of their fruit crops that year. This isn't stated to be in response to that but it seems like the obvious subtext

The state GOP wants to grandstand and fearmonger about immigration but they don't want to actually get rid of the people harvesting the crops, just make their conditions as deplorable as possible. Idk if DeSantis is just dumb or a true believer or what.

if there's a better explanation I'm all ears tho

yeah, I mean some eutectic brine of ice, water, and camel piss salt seems pretty scienticious to me

if anything, three barleycorns laid end to end might be more sensible lol

eh, that's all so vibes based and varies so widely by climate as to be meaningless IMO. its like saying meters are less intuitive than inches and feet because a meter is too big and a centimeter is too small to be human scale. Boils down to what you grew up with IMO

I actually do think it's "better" in one way that isn't completely vibey though: 1 degree F is a lot closer to the difference in air temperature that humans will notice, so especially for like, indoor air, its nice to have that extra resolution to see the difference between 68, 69, 70 F without using a decimal point.

nah that only works on cops

NYPD would have a mass havana syndrome and everyone else would be fine

how so?

arbitrarily setting the freezing point of water to 32 and the boiling point to 212 and then filling in the rest from there isn't what I'd call "making sense"

I guess they're 180 apart but why 32, why not 0 and 180?
