Until I was around 12 our family almost exclusively used powdered milk (mid-eighties). I don't recall seeing liquid milk in plastic bags like this. Is it an eastern Canada or Ontario thing? In Alberta I don't think it was common.
Imagine the reduction in e-waste if everyone in high school took a short course in how to use a soldering iron, solder-sucker/braid and heat-gun to replace common bits in consumer electronics. So many things could be saved that get thrown out only due to a bad microswitch or cracked solder joint to a USB or headphone connector ...
True. It isn't always about a cost/labour analysis. Sometimes I want to repair something to learn how to do it. Sometimes I want to repair something because even though 'my time is valuable', I hate the idea of throwing out something I know will rot in the landfill for a thousand years. Sometimes I'm just attached to the thing and afraid I won't find a replacement that is as good (which is often the case).
I hate our throwaway culture, it's good to know how to fix things even if it isn't technically 'cost effective' to do so.
You know, when it's a regular citizen doing this prosecutors will have a warrant for arrest signed, even if it has to be done in the middle of the night on a weekend, and have a strike team arrest and detain those responsible within literal (really, literal) hours. Why does this not happen NOW?? (I know the answer.)
I think we should all start review-bombing every city and town on the coast around the norther half of the Gulf, since they've locked reviews on the gulf itself...
Then if they ban/lock those location reviews, move inland town by town. Be sure to mention you're down-rating because Google locked reviews for the Gulf of Mexico. Also call them Quislings and fascist apologists/collaborators in the review.
Find other locations within the U.S. with 'Mexico' or 'America'/'American' in their names and review or report as inaccurate suggesting the other nation's name. We could make this a sort of '/r/place' collaborative painting over the continental US...
.. and if they lock anyone's Google account for this, then the shit should really hit the fan.
I heard talk that Jan.6 footage in general might be getting memory-holed. Did the Jan 6 committee save its video presentations outside of DOGE's influence? I watched a lot of the hearings and their video compilations with annotations and commentary were amazing, tying the timelines of events at various locations together into a coherent whole...
Well, I can see where they're coming from excuse the pun
