Did racist use the "biological advantage" argument when Black athletes started competing alongside white athletes?
Given that racists and slavers used the “natural physical strength” of black people to justify putting them on hard labor and some medics still think that blacks has higher resistance to pain, I wonder if when black athletes started to join mixed race sport teams, some racist would have used the same “biological...

How can I get a screw like this out? (sh.itjust.works)
I decided on cleaning my laptop fans today, which I’ve been procrastinating for about a year now because of this one screw. But I just can’t seem to open this with my screwdriver, since whatever I did back when I last opened it it’s nearly circular now. Is there a way to unscrew this?

What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? (lemmy.world)
I have noticed phones with a handset (like the one in the image) have a little cover that resembles something like a cold camera shoe under the bottom of the handset’s top speaker holder. Is there a use for it? It has a line bump in the middle, but it doesn’t go all the way from both sides, it leaves a gap. I have also seem...

Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?
Like others, I came over when Reddit was banning 3rd party apps. Many communities were being started and I wanted to help. So I chose one community to form here and try and grow. And we did!

Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?
Car insurance is relatively simple. I shop around, telling them how much coverage I want. They request my driving history, and give me a quote. At any time, I can shop around and change insurance policies without any problems. Once it’s time to collect payment, it’s a relatively simple matter. What makes health insurance so...

Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?
Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED.
