Look into your municipality’s recycling process, see how it’s done, what the inputs are, what the total energy use is, etc, etc.

I’d bet a year’s salary it’s far less effective (if at all) than most people think.

“Recycle” was/is a marketing grift developed by the oil industry in the 70’s. It largely isn’t effective.

As someone else mentioned, aluminum (and steel) are very recyclable, and are already extensively recycled in manufacturing (don’t forget that reusing scrap within a factory is considered recycling).

Everything else largely isn’t, yet. Glass is very recyclable, but the transport costs are exorbitant, so I suspect it’s a negative for things like drink bottles, while the energy costs on most plastic recycling makes it not yet viable, from what I’ve read.

Someday, just not today.

If the 3 R’s, Reduce is the one that truly makes a difference.

There were handheld electronic card game players in the 80’s.

You’d be surprised how many phone calls took place at that time.

Mayne talking about a show, or chatting someone up, etc. You were bored, so a phone was great.

Readers Digest contained multiple books in one volume

So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

Syncthing.

Just sync your DCIM folders.

You can enable “Ignore Delete” on each phone if you want to ensure photos aren’t deleted on the source phone if the destination deletes it (or not).

I sync stuff to a PC at home, so phones don’t have to be on at the same time - they’ll always sync to the home PC.

You “will try” tomorrow.

Take the word “should” out of your vocabulary for the most part, especially with self-talk. It’s often not useful.

Your the elf that wanted to be a dentist!

Hahahaha, dammit, I admit that’s funny

Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.

I think the prison angle in this film wasn’t the main premise. Just how a technology was used.

There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could…do something to your brain.

Uggh, wish I could remember more.

Yep, the best way to learn is at home, with age appropriate financial management. Whether that’s an allowance or whatever, but walk them through making choices at every age.

Will they make literacy a requirement too?

If you’ve owned more than 2, those are on you! 🤣

But yea, consumer printers suck.

There was another movie around this idea very recently, maybe a couple years ago. Can’t remember the name though.

Young woman in isolation, think she helped create the system, maybe was on Netflix like 4 years ago?

I don’t mind those breaks… It feels like going to the next chapter in a book.

But actual ads, yea, not for a service that costs.

Though this whole thing is funny - they collect even more user data than they did with cable or broadcast, and now want to show you ads too.

Can’t wait to finish my media server setup.

Killer album, really shows their musical chops. I’ve listened to it so many times.

It’s reminiscent of Medeski, Martin and Wood.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

I’ve heard many times that revolvers or semi-auto have less recoil than the other, hence the question about slide mass/energy, as the only element I could see being different which could possibly explain why people hold this opinion.

Do you know of any actual metrics/tests done that show this clearly? Or is it just a perception issue?

(And yea, we’d have to agree on a definition of what we’re measuring/comparing). Do any gun magazines run proper tests occasionally to make comparisons?

I admit my physics classes were a long time ago, but at first glance it seems felt recoil would only be marginally different between a revolver and a pistol using the same round. If anything, I’d expect the revolver to have a greater felt recoil, given the mechanics of a pistol… But I could very well be wrong.

Bad faith, for sure, made very clear in the last 20 years.

Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, how much you spend on a psychologist every month?

Also, what you’re doing is called sophistry, specifically moving the goal posts (which predates the US by about 1000 years).

You should probably educate yourself lest you expose the clown inside.
