The waste, while unnecessary, is negligible. Go buy a drink, any plastic drink from anywhere, and you wasted more plastic than a K-cup.

Pro tip: Rip the top off, rinse it out, fill with dirt, perfect seed starter pod. Even has a drain hole pre-drilled. Also, chunk the coffee in your yard, garden, compost, whatever.

Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.

In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio and was left severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed. On November 2, 1944, at the age of 55, he was found dead at his home in Worthington, Ohio. He had been killed by his own device after he became entangled in it and died of strangulation.

For that style of bird hunting Cheney was acting appropriately. The other guy basically jumped up in front of him when he was supposed to stay down.

Having finally go close to one IRL, they’re taller than they appear from afar, good bit more than my 2004 F150. I was surprised.

Depends entirely on where you’re at. Our coastal beaches are pure white and sound like popcorn (fish eating) when you’re underwater near coral.

The beaches along the rivers can be brown sand, washed down as you say, but some are pebbles instead. Never understood how two rivers so close together ended up with such different beaches.

You should get that scanned in high-res for posterity. Look for a reprographics shop nearby. Hell, if you can find a place that does quality work, you can sell prints on Etsy.

The material looks like what we called “vellum” and was a common way to print on longer lasting material, a sort of translucent plastic. Is that what it is?

Partly! Some women explode out the gate with a little age on them. My ex-gf was pretty in her 30s, but in her late 40s would turn heads when she walked in the room. And then there are the plain Janes in high school that turn out OMFG years later.

Hah! I was going to ask OP if they didn’t just glue azaleas on there. Cool pic anyway, doesn’t need the BS story.

Same, but to be clear, we’re talking about panic attacks, right? That is exactly what the meme is talking about, or should be.

OTOH, there are these people: “Gosh! Sometimes I’m nervous in social situations and don’t know how to act! I have an anxiety disorder!”

No you don’t buttercup, you have “being a typical human disorder”. And most likely, no one even notices your discomfort. One time I was on LSD at a party and talking to a guy, freaking out internally. “Man, I’m sorry, but I’m tripping balls right now.” He had no idea!

If I see a comparison matrix, I’m a happy camper. OTOH, you have to be extraordinarily careful with words or lose sales. Because people are stupid.

Case in point; Employee needed a new laptop and we leaned mostly towards Lenovos. Found a sweet deal on one labelled as a gaming rig. Boss wouldn’t sign off because, “A dev doesn’t need a gaming rig with a high-end video card.” Of course not, but still showed him the specs, compared against what we were currently purchasing and paying, no go. We ended up paying more for a laptop with lower specs because it didn’t have a “gaming” label.

What if you call a product line “prosumer”? It may be perfectly acceptable for a small business, but the owner might feel he needs “enterprise”. He looks at the enterprise line, flinches at the price, goes to another brand selling the same damned thing with a label that makes him happy.

Another one I had just posted; Shooting the shit with a customer who was unhappy he couldn’t buy straight grass seed and the label only showed the filler content in small print. What a ripoff! Another customer chimed in that filler is necessary for the seed spreader to work as expected. Oh.

X line prioritizes speed - Nah, not paying extra for speed, don’t need it.

Y line is backwards compatible with legacy gadgets - Sounds like it’ll be outdated soon.

R line is meant for business use - They just slap that on there to sucker people into paying more. (Yes they do!)

F line is experimental form factors - I need a tried and true product, sounds like a clusterfuck.

Having worked in various fields for 40 years, and now at my first retail job, I see that a lot of the fuckery we blame on capitalism is actually sellers trying to navigate ignorant and fickle consumers. Also, sometimes the weird shit we see, or don’t see where we expect it, is due to laws and regulations, but that’s another story.

Ferret. They’re awesome pets and blind as hell. If you see one roaming around, he’s probably lost.

The words led to the acceptance of the surveillance.

When dad’s going down on her:

HOLY DIVER!

You’ve been down too long in the midnight sea

Oh what’s becomin’ of me

No, no, ride the tiger

You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean

Oh don’t you see what I mean

HOLY DIVER!

Mom spent 30+ years raking the leaves out from under the bushes. That shit turned into solid clay and choked all of it to death. Entire house and backyard ringed in shrubs, 4-hour job to trim it, all dead.

Old lady down the street obsessively rakes her yard and burns the leaves. Guess what it looks like? No foot or vehicular traffic, still a wasteland.

Another old guy across the street from her does the same. His entire front yard looks like Arrakis.

Again, people do weird shit in grief, and losing a spouse is a special kind of hell.

LOL, that is delicious.

Been downvoted plenty of times for saying I don’t get 1/10th of the Windows hassle lemmy talks about, probably less. Don’t have the LTSC version of 11, but it’s from a plain Jane ISO, not a factory install, which I would bet is the cause of many people’s pain.
