Oh boy..I'll bring you up to speed.

When I was a kid we used to roll down hills in wheels. Those were the Goodyears.

What do you call 365 condoms? A fucking Goodyear.

Jeg kunne ikke sove i går, så jeg fandt en dokumentar på Filmstriben "Antropocæn" fra 2018.

Den viser med meget flotte billeder nogle lokationer hvor nutidens menneskehed i øjeblikket sætter sit præg på kloden og med få ord eller interviews forklarer hvad menneskerne laver dér.

Det drejer sig om minedrift i Rusland, Tyskland og Italien, en losseplads og krybskytteri i Afrika, lithium produktion og skovdrift i Sydamerika, olieudvinding i USA, koral-afblegning ved Australian og kystbeskyttelse i Kina.

Det bemærkelsesværdige ved filmen er at den ikke er formynderisk eller dommedagsagtig. Den viser det bare. Her er stedet, her er mennesket. Sådan ser det ud og sådan gør de. Filmen er i et tempo der lægger op til at man selv tænker over det.

Seat belt regulations saved a lot of lives despite massive objections and many attempts from both drivers and manufacturers to work around the regulation. https://www.history.com/news/seat-belt-laws-resistance

Aluminium is fine for acidic beverages and it is possible to buy juice in a can, but that would be a single serving. Juice and milk make sense to buy in larger sizes for multiple servings. Plastic bottles are also an option for those, but it really depends on how they're recycled locally if that makes more sense than the cartons.

The aluminium red solo cups ought to be recyclable just as any other aluminium product, provided that they're returned in the first place and not mixed with other disposable garbage. Selling them as disposable seems counterproductive. A better option would be to use actual cups or glasses for picnics and bring them back home. Washing a cup in a dishwasher is much better than recycling aluminium.

It's not easy for consumers to make a good choice.

I only played the original. I didn't really like it at first, thinking that the augmentation and mod stuff was needlessly complicated for this kind of game. Also the graphics weren't all that great in comparison to other games using the same engine. There were a lot of attention to details in comparison to other games so I gave it a chance. The turning point came after completing the first part of the story and getting hooked. The story really carried the game and touches on some interesting topics.

A game with a similar feel would be Omikron: The Nomad Soul. It was released the year before Deus Ex, has worse controls and graphics, but the story and setting is somewhat similar.

Technically they're "downcyclable". The materials can be separated and used for other purposes, but they're not "cycled" back into being another tetrapak.

It's also a very energy intensive procedure so even if it's possible to use some of the materials again, it's by no means as environmentally friendly as products that can be recycled for their purpose. Take for instance glass bottles and aluminium cans, they can both be recycled into glass bottles and aluminium cans.

Some places also reuse glass bottles by cleaning them. This also costs energy, but not as much as grinding it down and heating it to produce new glass.

Aluminium cans are probably the best single use beverage container as of now.

The best one is not to get one in the first place. Reduce, reuse, recycle, reclaim.

Tetrapak is in the "reclaim".

Carrying a personal reusable water bottle is a good idea, because it reduces the production of singular use containers.

Looks like those are crisps and not chips.

Crisps could theoretically be made from fries, chips cannot.

In order to be a chip, it literally has be a "chip" of a potato.

Crisps can be made from anything.

No, dinosaurs can't fly.

Flying 'saurs are "pterosaurs"

It's bicycle with a helping engine, but it's not electric.

The thing that looks like a battery is the fuel tank. The engine is the metal attachment left and below of the center of the back wheel.

Random fact: The first motorized vehicle to drive across the USA was a bicycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_A._Wyman

Don't call her that.

Blue and wet.

The department said it is also aware of a video circulating on social media of the incident but warned that it does not portray the incident in its entirety.

I have a feeling the officially released footage might also not portray the incident in its entirety..

It's almost as if the generation that taught us to "decide with your heart", "do what you love", "you can be everything you dream of", etc.etc. has suddenly decided to focus and rule the world by irrelevant talking points instead of staying true to their own beliefs and teaching.

I hope that whatever happens in the next decade at the dying breath of that generation will not set the precedent for following inhabitants of this planet. I, being gen-x, am doing as much as I can to enable people to younger than me to have better opportunities than I ever had. (Union stuff.)

The difference being that I acknowledge that younger people are more capable. My parents generation never understood that. They still cling to the belief that age equals wisdom. Maybe their parents taught them that. There is some truth to it, but he cutting point is a lot lower than they believe. The peak of capability is probably closer to 25 than 80...

Edit. Anyway. The world depends on the American election. Mostly because the world needs USA to be successful in order to maintain a stable balance in world politics. The last Trump period was basically what fucked it up in the first place and I have no expectations of it being any better at a second term, on the contrary.

Please vote for Biden. Sure, he's old (please attend to primaries next time...) and Hillary was too, but Trump is still the most senile of them all. I get it. It was funny to vote in some jackass to stir shit up, but that's not really what happened. All he achieved was to play golf and let radical idiots run the place down..

It's not even about the talking points. He spits in every direction, so it doesn't even matter. He will not fulfill any of the most modest expectations of any of the talking points whether or not you agree with them. He's going to play golf and let random asslickers run the place, again. That's not democracy.

It looks the same from afar.

Why don't kids just bike to school anymore.

Jeg nyder varmen. Jeg drikker litervis af vand og sætter tempoet lidt ned. En hat på hovedet når jeg er ude og latinamerikansk musik på radioen. Det fungerer bedre hvis man bare accepterer det. Det er jeg ret hurtig til.

Skal vi på charter? Nej, vi har charter derhjemme.

I doubt they do it just to scare employees. It's way too expensive to use this tactic without having any real savings to show.

It's probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn't hiring? The explanation that it supposedly keeps employees in check seems like something HR would say to justify their own purpose.

Any (reasonable) CEO would absolutely take thee easy and actual savings of firing the HR instead of paying them to use this unproven pseudo-tactic.

Hvad er egentlig en god host til billeder?

Jeg har brugt den interne nogle gange, men altid haft dårlig samvittighed med at belaste din lagerplads.

She's more of a Devils advocate. Just stating the wrong opinion for others to explain what's right. There's never any clever comeback, so I kind of think that's the reason for her to shitpost so heavily.

I've blocked plenty of trolls here, but not her, yet.

So, what happens if you order a bomb at the McD?
