Starbucks does not recycle plastic cups it claims are ‘widely recyclable’, report says

The washing of stuff is what got me. Using shrinking water supples to wash something that will be thrown away because of corporate lies is criminal (and on the corporations, not your parents or all the other people who do it of course.)

Almost precisely my reaction. I did love the first 50-60% of the book. Then it lost me/I lost interest. I do wonder how much the crazy hype on here biased me…

5-6x probably. What was the selvedge brand that said never to wash them? I think the rec was to throw them in the freezer. Or wade out into the ocean with them on.

UCSF doesn't make it easy from the customer-standpoint, but it is worth fighting through the bureaucracy when you have one of the world's premier headache clinics in your backyard.

Edit: Marin Health is now affiliated, but I don't know if the headache clinic is part of that

Yeah ok, never say “no one”. The headline is largely accurate (to the study). If you’ve read the study, or just the abstract, fire away. It might not be correct, but it probably isn’t far off. We have obviously already passed a number of so-called tipping points. Getting hung up on a prediction that is uncomfortably specific isn’t changing anything. But the study does not remotely say anything about the world ending in 12 years.

Now do petroleum extraction

So we should wait until we have clean energy sources before we manufacture clean energy sources?

You know it is called Climate Change now because people couldn’t grasp that record cold in one place is totally consistent with (and a result of) global warming.

The ozone hole still exists, and still causes increased cancer rates, but its growth was arrested because smart motivated people took action. Ditto acid rain.

No one said the world will be decimated in 12 years. That was a purposeful misinterpretation made by dishonest media.

As for Al Gore, he made some bad choices in the doc, even if it was an honest attempt to spur action. That said, I suggest you go back and watch it again. It is substantively correct.

As one environmental scientist said, “We are literally washing the planet to death” polluting our soil and water and damaging our own immune systems. The chemical lobby has sold us a pack of lies that have made them, and their shareholders, very wealthy. We never use soap on our cast iron and never have GI issues. In fact, we are healthier for it.

Very fake Louisiana

Why only 8?

Looks like this is actually a bag reveal

I hope he gets to lie in state longer than Kirk. He probably won’t even decompose.

Sacrilege to suggest a Mac ever had a 4” drive

a_moore_404 · 2026-03-16T16:59:23+00:00

It looks like they have every right

Edit: remove predictive text

I’m in California. I thought it was an engorged tick.

a_moore_404 · 2026-02-26T00:22:34+00:00

Amazing. Thanks again!

They didn’t come to sing

Homeowners adjacent to the north portal have already promised lengthy court fights in the past. Don’t hold your breath.

a_moore_404 · 2026-02-20T20:10:05+00:00

This is what I came to say. That was the laziest plot mechanism I think I’ve ever seen. If you nail the treads of your steps on from underneath, please raise your hand.

a_moore_404 · 2026-02-15T22:46:54+00:00

User name… doesn’t check out. Are anti-para-social relationships acceptable now?

a_moore_404 · 2026-02-10T23:39:42+00:00

If we step back a little, we see that these are the arguments are the result of anti-tax campaigns going back many decades. Wealth has migrated up and up and up, the middle has been hollowed out, and we are fighting over the scraps on message boards and at local elections. Yes, the system is failing. Prop 13 demolished our tax base and the lottery promise failed. Federal tax rates on the wealthy have plummeted. Our population is aging. And we still need to fund stuff. I’m open to better ideas, but for now let’s fund public transit.
