I missed that small detail.

She went outside to smoke, so that’s good at least.

If you want trimmings from a big chain talk to the butcher that does the cutting. You’ll likely get better results.

There’s way more reason than fashion. There’s durability and comfort tradeoffs in a toilet seat. Not everyone wants to power wash their toilet, but those that do need more durable seats. Others may want a softer material that is more comfortable for use. Prisons want one that can’t easily be removed or broken in pieces. Some may want a built in child size seat. Some may want a dedicated handle area. Some might want a heated seat. Some might want soft closing seats.

The same is true of most products, there’s no one true solution.

It doesn’t really degrade in a landfill though. Industrial composting is something I wish was more popular though, that would probably reduce my actual trash by about 50%.

Most designers are from over function.

There’s plenty of paper that could get recycled as well that can’t in a single stream. I agree plastic going to a landfill is better though.

The problems are breaking glass back down is more expensive than using raw material and there’s the color issue. What glass excels at is reuse, it would be far better to have a handful of standard containers that could be easily cleaned and reused rather than attempt to recycle.

The problem is that mixing everything means massive contamination, so only metal is going to really get pulled out.

One of the last renovation shows I watched just put the books backwards for a “clean look”

My previous employer just put signs on all the trash cans that they were processed for recycling after collecting. That always sounded like bullshit.

Paper can be effectively down cycled, and corrugated cardboard is absolutely worth recycling. Glass is just borderline, it’s not significantly better energy wise to recycle, and colored glass makes it more difficult. Plastic is better off in a landfill.

I thought the article was referring to that game and was confused how they pissed off fans.

Yelp and more scrolling past ads. Mostly caring about style and food pics. Reviews are pretty trash, so depending on the type of place anything 3+ Stars is generally worth looking at.

We are still suffering the effects of bad software patents. Tons of garbage patents were granted in the form of “common everyday thing, but on a computer.” A notable one was the digital shopping cart that was eventually invalidated.

This part was incredibly frustrating. Personal and second hand examples.

A lady believed the defendant couldn’t possibly rob a place during his lunch break. It was a 5-10 minute drive from his workplace. Couldn’t point this out on a map, because one wasn’t introduced as evidence.

A lady couldn’t believe that a corrections officer would just be a dick to an inmate. There is no way they would ever use the ability to search a cell to destroy property or as retaliation.

You can’t just destroy money. With fractional reserve banking any bank can create money, but they can’t destroy it. Only the Fed can “destroy” money by buying bonds back and not reselling them. Forgiving a is a loss to the lender, in the case of student loans, the government guarantees them, so the lender gets made whole and the government assumes the debt on behalf of the borrower.

The government guarantees the loan. Student loans are ultimately the government taking out a loan on behalf of a citizen.

In the strictest legal sense it’s not stealing.

Forgiving loans of those who followed a program and qualified is definitely not stealing. Not forgiving those loans and forcing payment, is at least analogous to stealing.

Blanket forgiveness of all loans is similar to stealing from future generations, as it is government debt that isn’t getting repaid as expected.

A degree signals you have a history of satisfactory performance of arbitrary tasks over a prolonged period. It can be a way to get less bad employees, though not necessarily better ones.
