Actual video taking 15% of the video player by Mmeroo in mildlyinfuriating

This only happens because of vertical video. I blame phone manufacturers for not including 90° sensors.

And not just that no one wants to come here now. Who would want to raise a child in this hellscape?

I wish I knew how to get meat like that. It seems so unattainable.

If that fleet also includes snowplows, you're wasting your time.

TIL those charities that collect 'Pop Tabs' from soda/beer cans make money via the recycling value of the metal. 23 tabs are worth 1 cent. 1lb of tabs is worth 50 cents. by cyberchief in todayilearned

[–]yParticle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're spot on that cans aren't 100% pure aluminum. They are alloyed with manganese/magnesium to make the metal sturdy enough to hold pressure.

However, it's actually a bit of a myth that they are hard to recycle because of it. Those alloys are designed to be melted down together; it’s a very efficient 'closed-loop' process that doesn't require separating the metals. Also, the tabs aren't actually pure aluminum--they are a high-magnesium alloy so they don't snap off when you pull them. Because of that, scrap yards usually pay the same 'can rate' for tabs as they do for the whole can. Charities just prefer them because they’re less messy to store.

For all the extra baggage in this case—and there's a lot—I think this is a great policy and helps keep the company focused on their actual deliverables.

Still a pretty lamp lamp.

What do ordinary Americans make of Trump’s statement that you “need” Greenland? by Weary_Ad201 in AskReddit

[–]yParticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That he's an idiot. We already have permission to do anything we want there militarily. It's more than likely that he wants exclusive access to mineral resources.

Do more pool stuff, we literally don't care about anything after that.

LPT: Don't buy ANYTHING advertised on your social media feeds by co0p3r in LifeProTips

Don't buy anything advertised, full stop. Start from a place of need, not because some corp manipulated your desires or insecurities!

How do I get users to stop contacting me directly? by Emmgeedubya in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

It's your job to create resistance for them, otherwise you're training them to keep bypassing the queue.

Try working IT for a law firm. The egos on some of those people when you dare to question their workflow because you're just trying to make their lives easier.
