And while we’re at it, why not connect the blinds at the seams? Then no water leaks out.

And honestly you could make them out of a softer plastic so it’s easier to open and close… something like sheet PVC would be perfect.

Only a small part?

Nope, the game ends with checkmate. The king is the only piece that can’t actually be captured. It’s in the rules, look it up.

Patents shouldn’t exist! Mostly.

I think that’s called conversion. Or unjust enrichment.

FYI: companies will do 2 things to make black friday kinda suck these days

1. Prices will go up before black friday so they can have an exagerated sale/discount.

2. Some companies will make units specifically for black friday. Usually cheaper, less features, and sometimes less reliable.

Figure out what you want now.

It is, but they searched starting in 2025. Skipping this one.

Funny joke ?

Macroscopic creatures are made of different types of cells and stuff… what constitutes a living thing?

People didn’t lose half of their cells, it was all or none.

Great, they’re going to make browser exclusive content. Locked down even worse than it is. Intentional, not just lazy incompatibilities.

Again, most of those are targeted attacks on individuals. E.g. student mad at X person and gets revenge.

Much different from the columbine-like terroristic ones. E.g. killing anyone and everyone they can.

It’s the fact they vouched for the resturaunt.

I don’t mean having a sign or directory. I mean saying specifically “the BR at our rest stop is allergy friendly” vs “our rest stop has a basken robbins, check their page for details”

I don’t know any other landlords that advertise and vouch their clients on their website.

I bet cafeterias or food courts have gotten sued for the same thing.

The overlap between “chemtrails” and “fluoride in the water” and “epa bad” is pretty high. It’s actually kinda odd.

Fair enough, there’s potential for landfills to leak.

But if its between that, dumping it in the ocean, or exporting it, the landfill wins.

I read the snippets and abstract. I’m not seeing how these micro plastics are getting out of the landfills.

Environmental risks of microplastics in landfills

In landfills, microplastics are not standalone pollutants. Generally, such tiny particles can adsorb various harmful chemicals due to its large specific surface area [54].

Never knew that!

In this case, microplastics generally served as the vector for migrating adsorbed pollutants including heavy metals, antibiotics and other pharmaceutical and personal care products [55].

That’s scary, microplastics can absorb and spread pollutants!

But I’m not seeing anything about how they’re getting out from a landfill. I even read a few of the referenced articles. But nothing about if or how they’re getting out.

How does buried plastic cause microplastics to leech everywhere?

Weathering (sun, exposure, abrasion caused by plastic being moved by wind and sea) is a significant part of microplastic formation.

Quite honestly, going to a landfill seems so so so much better than the alternative: going into the environment and oceans, turning into microplastics and getting into food chains.

At least landfills are contained. Bury the shit until we have the tech to deal with it.

Some day, between the plastics, nutrients from organics, e-waste, landfills are going to be a goldmine.

Only as effective as your layout skills :)

Check out jlcpcb. Honestly insane what is available to the hobbyist of today

Pushing the power switch shouldn’t do anything to static electricity.
