Seems natural to me, but I had an iPod when they were still a thing so I might be biased.

“Bald-Headed Woman” instead of “More than a Woman.”

No worries I get it, that’s all too easy to do nowadays lol

I guess that’s up to whatever process is used by municipalities to decide between vendors, and would encourage you to persuade your local government not to do this should they consider this strategy.

I dunno man. There are no perfect solutions for dealing with plastic waste at the moment. Until we have one, there are worse ways to go about handling it.

Not sure there are any “safe” options tbh but I’d rather it serve some purpose if it’s just going to break down either way, for sure.

The article probably is and I’m not pretending to be an expert. Just saying in theory this could be useful ¯\(ツ)/¯

I’m against plastic use where possible, but don’t see a problem in putting what we already have to work if the alternative is to just let it fall apart on its own somewhere else. If we’re going to drown in this stuff might at least get some usefulness out of it.

Those are already a thing. This is a proposal to make some use of this already present reality.

PNW has been experimenting with a version of this for a while involving old tires. Rather than let them continue to disintegrate in a landfill somewhere, adding them to newer roads allows the road to withstand freezing weather much better, reducing the need for carbon emitting repairs, increasing road lifespan (and therefore tire lifespan, which in turn reduces microplastic shedding by tires), and gives a second useful life to the plastics we already have.

It’s already shredding naturally. At least this process contains it for longer than it otherwise would, potentially reduces more shedding from tires, and gives it some purposeful existence while we come up with better ideas.

Better than just letting it rot somewhere, right? At least, that’s my take. Maybe it’s wrong, but it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

performance isn’t really my main concern with DB.

Yes I was using the db implementation but didn’t know there was a MD mode, that’s nice! Might give it another go.

You’re right, you can use logseq without a db. Nice!

There is a version that uses SQLite which is what I was using, it seems like that’s required for certain features like db graphs, so a bit of a bummer:

lol what a baby

Yep same reason here. I use git for backup and sync, if my notes are in a db I can’t easily do that.

In addition to those benefits, I’d like for my information to outlive the tool I’m using to manage it, which is less likely when using something db-centric.

I was so impressed by logseq……until I realized my files are all managed in a database. Obsidian just saves your notes as basic markdown files. That ended up being a big enough reason to go back.

If that’s not a big deal to you, absolutely logseq 100%.

They don’t do much of anything when they are in power, that’s the problem. Much of this blame can be placed on Chuck.

Example:

They controlled the House, Senate and Presidency in 2021, Chuck Schumer was Senate Majority Leader, and still didn’t grant Dreamers legal status because a Senate Parliamentarian, a position with zero actual power, said they couldn’t.

This was one of their campaign promises and when they had the opportunity to do it, they backed out at the last second.

When they do have power, Democrats do not wield it.

I never get sick of watching this guy’s brain reboot when presented with new information.

This guy went full Gavin Belson. Never go full Gavin Belson.

“Pernonin”, as in “grannies are pernonin noobs”

Seriously the more he gets pressed on this the more he’ll fold into himself.

Trump really hates it when people remind him of the time his older brother put a bowl of mashed potatoes on his head while he was throwing a tantrum and his entire family laughed at him. It’s a core memory of his, and his first taste of shame and humiliation.

I wonder if that’s why his hair looks like that….
