Near me there is a chipotle, a taco bell, and a nice taco truck that is open late, all within just a couple blocks of each other.

TIL about initialisms, which are like acronyms but when you pronounce the initial letters individually instead of like a spelled out word. DVD being an initialism, versus SCUBA being an acronym.

I wish there was something like a kei truck available in the US with some modern crash safety features, and maybe a plug-in hybrid option.

They are paraphrasing ralph waldo emerson

Your actions speak so loudly, I can not hear what you are saying.

But based on their user name they might be getting it more from the bad religion song “I want to conquer the world”

You seemed to already grasp what they mean when you said in a different comment that you already have the books to reread, and that this is a different thing. The closest thing to which it could be an adaptation of is the last 50ish pages of the silmarillion? It had some pretty big structural changes to that in season 1 already, so I don’t think fan fiction is an overly harsh description.

Besides while it is often maligned, fan fiction is fine. It is okay to like fan fiction.

Isis isn’t gone, they aren’t holding any territory right now and are greatly diminished, but they took credit for an attack in Russia this year even.

Especially book 3?? I stopped reading after the second because it was too much, it gets worse? wtf

Do you sent via certified mail or something else that has proof of receipt, and how do you decide who at the company to send it to?

usage, production and sorting is on them

Plastic is a finite resource that is not going to disappear from global usage any time soon.

Just fucking recycle.

These statements are you throwing up your hands, but towards the actual problem of plastic waste.

“where I live they don’t do it well”

Where I live is on Earth, they don’t do it well anywhere here. In the US, people have been actively trying to get people to recycle more since the 70s, plastic recovery from recycling barely gets over 5% and that’s consistent throughout that 50 year period. That’s not just “not 100%” that’s dismal.

As an initiative it has been wildly unsuccessful at best, and a cynical distraction at worst. The plastics industry is largely the same entities as the oil and gas industry, and they have run the same playbook to defer meaningful action against their damaging products.

To bring it back: People not recycling plastics is equivalent to people not eating their pizza crusts in that they are trivial and ineffectual solutions to the problems of waste.

Waste management experts say the problem with plastic is that it is expensive to collect and sort. There are now thousands of different types of plastic, and none of them can be melted down together. Plastic also degrades after one or two uses. Greenpeace found the more plastic is reused the more toxic it becomes.

New plastic, on the other hand, is cheap and easy to produce. The result is that plastic trash has few markets — a reality the public has not wanted to hear.

From the NPR source I listed earlier. Industry has no interest or ability in fixing this issue by recycling, and vanishingly few municipalities are likely to subsidize plastics recycling to a level at which it makes an appreciable dent in plastic waste.

The plastics industry has cynically forwarded the idea of plastics recycling despite knowing it was unfeasible. We need to drastically reduce plastic use, and probably limit the types of plastic produced for the sorting problem to be mitigated enough that recycling or a clean disposal method is feasible.

Plastics recycling doesn’t happen much because it is an expensive process, and new plastic is too cheap. Even if you put it in the blue recycling bin, it’s fairly unlikely that it actually gets recycled and used again.

Metals actively get recycled well. Paper and glass recycle okay, but in practice also face problems.

Just get your bullets inscribed with “by receiving this bullet you have agreed to our tos, by which all liability is to be decided by the shooter’s dog, who does not like you.” Then murder is legal.

What does the top look like?

Well, the result is yet to be seen, the article was only published today.

I think their point is that going to the media might have been the best option.

Edit:spelling

If it had some other toppings in addition that’d be a hell of a marathon recovery meal

I’ve played the rom multiworld randomizer and like it a lot! I guess my longshot hope, and I don’t know if it would be feasible even from the decomp, is a single-world entrance randomizer with similar items merged, and the ability to use OoT items in MM and vice versa.

That looks kinda cool, although it does irk me that the pieces seem to not all be tetracubes.
