almost game time…

watching pence talk on cnn…he has such a “I am a complete prick” kind of countenance…

scary guy, maybe even scarier than cheney and his hunting rifle…

I mean, he is full with God and the good word…can’t be all bad right.

Which game do you care less about anyone winning, with best result being a sink hole swallowing each stadium — Celtics-Hawks, or Cowboys-Packers?

great, if some collider somewhere doesn’t trigger some kind of warp field, this gun will get it done…

in the future some alien will revisit our solar system and wonder where the earth disappeared to…

As someone who previously worked in recycling outreach, a lot of recycling is kind of a joke. People don’t understand how to recycle and end up contaminating batches so we need to throw out a lot of it. A large part of the problem is that it can be confusing to figure out what is and isn’t recyclable, and there isn’t a great way to resolve that.

Plus, at the time (and probably now with supply chain issues), recycling wasn’t profitable for a lot of materials and just won’t happen.

Even if recycling does happen effectively there is questionable environmental value because of the emissions created transporting materials to a sorting facility and from the sorting facility to a processing plant.

I strongly encourage people to recycle and compost but it’s not a solution by any means.

Also, with regards to a lot of environmental issues there’s a lot of NIMBY-ism. Lot of people want solar panels or wind power, they just don’t want to see any of it from their porch. Goes doubly for a power plant.

Owen, I agree 100% about nuclear power. How many people has the use of nuclear power killed? Not very many. How many people does global warming kill? Probably millions by now. But nuclear power has highly publicized accidents and people are scared of it. Having one third of Pakistan under water is worse, but people don’t think of that as global warming kills people.

Exactly! And people should try to conserve and recycle and fly less, etc. but just from a pure practicality point of view, getting a dozen or so multi National corporations to actually really change their behavior should be easier than getting billions of individuals to change theirs. But it does have to be both. As individuals we have to try and do better but we also have to demand better from the corporations that rule our lives.
