Seat belt regulations saved a lot of lives despite massive objections and many attempts from both drivers and manufacturers to work around the regulation. https://www.history.com/news/seat-belt-laws-resistance

Aluminium is fine for acidic beverages and it is possible to buy juice in a can, but that would be a single serving. Juice and milk make sense to buy in larger sizes for multiple servings. Plastic bottles are also an option for those, but it really depends on how they’re recycled locally if that makes more sense than the cartons.

The aluminium red solo cups ought to be recyclable just as any other aluminium product, provided that they’re returned in the first place and not mixed with other disposable garbage. Selling them as disposable seems counterproductive. A better option would be to use actual cups or glasses for picnics and bring them back home. Washing a cup in a dishwasher is much better than recycling aluminium.

It’s not easy for consumers to make a good choice.

Technically they’re “downcyclable”. The materials can be separated and used for other purposes, but they’re not “cycled” back into being another tetrapak.

It’s also a very energy intensive procedure so even if it’s possible to use some of the materials again, it’s by no means as environmentally friendly as products that can be recycled for their purpose. Take for instance glass bottles and aluminium cans, they can both be recycled into glass bottles and aluminium cans.

Some places also reuse glass bottles by cleaning them. This also costs energy, but not as much as grinding it down and heating it to produce new glass.

Aluminium cans are probably the best single use beverage container as of now.

The best one is not to get one in the first place. Reduce, reuse, recycle, reclaim.

Tetrapak is in the “reclaim”.

Carrying a personal reusable water bottle is a good idea, because it reduces the production of singular use containers.

It’s bicycle with a helping engine, but it’s not electric.

The thing that looks like a battery is the fuel tank. The engine is the metal attachment left and below of the center of the back wheel.

Random fact: The first motorized vehicle to drive across the USA was a bicycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_A._Wyman

The department said it is also aware of a video circulating on social media of the incident but warned that it does not portray the incident in its entirety.

I have a feeling the officially released footage might also not portray the incident in its entirety…

It looks the same from afar.

I doubt they do it just to scare employees. It’s way too expensive to use this tactic without having any real savings to show.

It’s probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn’t hiring? The explanation that it supposedly keeps employees in check seems like something HR would say to justify their own purpose.

Any (reasonable) CEO would absolutely take thee easy and actual savings of firing the HR instead of paying them to use this unproven pseudo-tactic.

She’s more of a Devils advocate. Just stating the wrong opinion for others to explain what’s right. There’s never any clever comeback, so I kind of think that’s the reason for her to shitpost so heavily.

I’ve blocked plenty of trolls here, but not her, yet.

If they succeed with this, it will still fail.

Fewer people will get married. Domestic violence will rise. “Till death do you part” gets a much more malicious meaning.

They took a $300 000 flight to Australia. I guess that’s the price when you order on the same day, but what’s the hurry?

Sure, I understand the desire to get the fuck out of UK after so many years, but I suppose he’ll be checking in to some hotel on arrival anyway. Asking for crowdfunding for a flight seems a little out of touch…

Hvordan ser det ud på Feddit.dk? Bruger I museer?

Ja, men det er mest som familieaktivitet og ferieunderholdning til børnene.

Jeg gad egentlig godt at museer blev lidt mere hardcore mht. til at udstille den enorme viden som ligger bag udstillingerne. Det bliver ofte en lidt tynd omgang, hvor de har forsøgt at lave interaktive udstillinger eller oplevelser med lydfortællinger som er drønende kedelige og samtidig så overfladiske at man intet lærer. Jeg føler lidt at jeg kommer på skoleudflugt når jeg går ind i et museum. Det er selvfølgelig fint at man kan nå at se det hele på et par timer, men der mangler mulighed for at gå lidt dybere, hvis jeg skulle have lyst til at komme oftere og i længere tid.

As an older guy: It’s the same picture.

If only 17 year old me had understood that.

I think any aliens advanced enough to visit Earth would probably understand it.

Whether it’s horror movies or extreme sports, it is some kind of play, which is about creating a safe or controlled environment to explore things that either isn’t really happening (horror movies) or things that haven’t been tried before (extreme sports).

A lot of extreme sports are actually relatively safe because it’s done by individuals in highly controlled environments. Statistically it’s a lot more dangerous to participate in other sports or everyday activities where there’s a larger risk from other participants or things that are unpredictable. Things like horse riding, traffic and trampolines are more dangerous because they’re more unpredictable. The consequences might be worse if it fails thoughm, making it “extreme”.

Travelling through space to explore inhabited planets absolutely requires the same kind of desire and process of safely testing out things that are potentially dangerous.

I went to the doctor with something similar. Stress or whatever, right?

I shit you not, his advice was: “if a whiskey doesn’t cure it, come back next week”. Then he gave me a book recommendation for some kind of weird male toxic pseudo psychology self help. I never bothered getting the book after reading the synopsis.

The next time I went to the doctor, the doctor had been replaced with a woman who actually listened to me.

I guess the whisky worked.

I’ve never seen sticky ash. I’ve seen completely beige and brown nicotine on walls, but never sticky.

This is more likely due to cooking. If the cooking hood/extractor doesn’t work right or they just haven’t cleaned in a while, the fumes from cooking will cover everything in a thick layer of sticky fat, which is difficult to get rid of with normal cleaning products.

Good. ICE cars should have high tariffs. They’re all subsidized too

Nordkorea leverer kanonføde til fronten og slipper for at give dem mad. Win/win for dem. Det kommer til at koste nogle kugler og bliver en tragisk massakre.

The boat will be fine. It’ll be under water and the people have a problem, but the boat will be fine.

I’m not sure what you’re up to but if you are using software to do it, perhaps a multiband compressor would be more suitable than an EQ.
