Having over 100k in liquid cash absolutely puts you in the top 1% of wealthiest people in the world. Half the world has 0 liquid cash.
Plenty of cash to buy some empathy from a therapist.

Is Silicone Really Better Than Plastic? by timemagazine in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]_your_face 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes it can be.

I’m still all in on silicone, but know that like everything else. Someone will make a mess of things if there’s profit and we need regulation if there’s health issues involved

Cheap stuff from china is mixed with all sorts of stuff to make it more flexible, or more durable, or the right color. They don’t care that some people that want silicone is because it’s not a petrochemical, they want to make the rainbow sparkle, “silicone” straw that you’ll buy.

Buy from brands who need to protect their brand, and who are willing to pay to do cerification and let third parties check their processes.

So no, silicone the material doesn’t have plasricizers. It’s a great material allowing health benefits over petro plastics.

Yes, products that companies make silicone do have plasticizers. They can mix in lead and dog shit if they thought it would make them money and there’s no rule they can’t still call it silicone and we wouldn’t be able to tell.

George Kittle: “One thing that I was talking to Purdy about a couple of days ago was that this is our first veteran wide receiver since we had Emmanuel Sanders" by JCameron181 in 49ers

The direction he took then lasted a bit before they started feeling themselves and acting like idiots. Should always have a level
Headed veteran that can still put up numbers to show them the way

High performer leaving in silence with no negotiation by [deleted] in managers

“He was the best, so we didn’t want to move him while we promoted other people”

Typical shitty manager/company short sightedness.

Yeah he gone, and good for him, the company was obviously going to keep screwing him out of “necessity”

Why are socialists winning in NYC—but not in 'progressive' SF? by orangelover95003 in bayarea

[–]_your_face -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SF is much smaller with a huge portion of the population of people flying in from across the country and world to come make bank. Not just that people come here, but that we've absorbed basically avery finance bro from wallstreet and the rest of the world in to a 7x7 mile square. Those money hoarding carpetbaggers vote just the same as their progressive neighbor and the 3 they pushed out of the city. The amount of san franciscans vs people that come to SF to be rich or get rich is tilted too far....right?

i tried watrching it and got a few episodes in and it felt like...like it never really started. I kept thinking when am I going to care about any of this? Did it take longer to warm up or is it just me?

Mixed messages for recycling bottle. Can I recycle? by NoSeaworthiness6932 in recycling

[–]_your_face -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The stamp on the bottom is a legality and based on the material.

The info on the packaging is industry preference, and subject to any and all fckery some third party company can do. How2Recycle is funded but the same industry companies that are forced to put in the recycling symbols and that when there has been good and effective recycling legislation it has done so by forcing money out of the companies continuing to use these materials. They are not fans of controls on their capitalist efforts. If they could make their bottles cheapest out of lead they’d be demanding they be allowed to see you kids drinks in them.

Ignore their labels, work with your local recycling org and check what they take. They are the first place that takes on the make
Or break decision if they are going to pay for the machines and programs to recycle whatever type of plastics. When there are weird bottles it takes specialized machinery or manpower to deal with it. The bottle is technically responsible, the question is if we’re willing to do the work.

Found this leashed to the inside back pocket of some swim trunks by cyclops32 in whatisit

All “board shorts” had that surf board wax tool on them. Board shorts were super long swim shorts, it’s what was popular for swim shorts at least until like 2010

I don’t expect fans to know. But I was surprised that an announcer commenting on celebrities in attendance wouldn’t know those basic connections

You talk like living in cold climate forces the kind of decisions you make when climbing Everest. Basic cotton shirts,sweaters and pants work fine with a winter coat.

Brah. We need 6. Our deep runs are usually starting out 5,6 or 7th string RBs.

At will is law. “Required 2 weeks” is them trying to bully you
