You tell me the difference when that film is continuously converted to a gas in the atmosphere. So you are saying as long as it’s thin enough it’s not important to worry about?

No they have not phased out bpa for all aluminum cans. As of September Germany for example is still waiting for regulations on bpa.

Also in Srptember a new company is about to replace yet another attempt at.making a clean lining for aluminum because the bpa became bps etc.

A thin plastic film… in other words a plastic bottle.

Actually a resin. Made of BPA, which is released into the atmosphere during the recycling process. Which contributes to the 1 million pounds of bpa released every year.

Basically small amounts of plastic BPA, burned into the air for each and every can.

So no cans currently do not solve the plastics problem.

Their point was that buying a can just means you are buying a plastic container anyways, that happens to be reinforced with aluminum.

It’s still a plastic bottle.

Firefox Focus for visiting random sites. Adblock built in drops all cookies on exit.

I have yet to see a pet friendly hotel with vinyl floors. It’s always been wall to wall carpeting.

Personally I am all in favor of hard floors dogs or not. I stayed In hotel recently that mops the floors after every stay and that seems preferable to carpet and a vacuum.

But oddly enough, it was not pet friendly. The last two i stayed in with carpet were though.

Costco meats always seem like the worst. I like costco, but I would never buy meat from them.

I only am throwing in my 2 cents because of the subject. They have had far too many recalls for my liking.

I ran Sid for years, I knew what it was named for and that was cool.

Lately though I have been wondering if they are going to run out of characters? Maybe it’s time to latch onto something else? I don’t know…

I am tired of prices going up AND tips going up. It already was a percentage of a total, and now it’s a higher percentage of a higher total?

I remember 10 percent tip. Was sort of annoyed at 15. At 20 percent with five times the bill it’s gotten way out of hand.

And now my area is trying to normalize 25 percent, with 30 being “good service”.

I am about to say fuck it and go back to 15. It’s either that or never eating out again.

Why didn’t you take the laptop out while you were still inside the pub? And typically wouldn’t you use directions to get to the pub, and getting back is just going the way you came?

No osm and on Linux?

Its just open street map data. Use the routing tool on their web page.

Or make your own if you want to using gis.

Or use the beta organic maps flatpak.

Or KDE Marble has OSM routing as well.

Or better still firefox focus. Ad blocking built in and it drops all the cookies as soon as you close it.

I keep firefox on mobile for when I need to go to a trusted site, firefox focus for everything else.

So you ever actually read his platform? Look into what he has done? Tim has sound and practical reasons for … guess what… doing the right thing.

Feed school children for example. Turns out the grades go up and truancy goes down. Juvenile crime goes down. An educated workforce makes for better wages and a happier populace. He will tell you that… in plain English.

Instead of blaming everyone else and calling names he, you know, fills potholes and offers solutions. He isn’t perfect, but you calling names and acting like an ass with no actuall reasons is just pathetic.

Fake news. He will make up anything for attention.

Thunderbird. It’s great

I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.

Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?

I am not sure it needs to be if the foundation is Mrna vaccines. At least that’s the idea anyway.

I was just pointing out how much the government spent and, it was quite a lot.

The US spent 31.6 billion to develop, produce and purchase covid 19 mrna vaccines.

So the US is already spending a ton of money…

I think I would go with a 19 author study published in science over a bank report in May. MAY! How much data did they have? At least by December we could get some data to work with

But is doesn’t matter what science says for you does it?

They really brought attention to themselves. But if I understand it the current discussion is about if all books need to be removed, or can they have controlled lending.

Yeah, I realize that. They waaaaay overstepped their rights on that one. But they are back to the original method.

I can see where you are going with this. But there is NOT a copy in my browser. Only a representation of a fraction of the whole book at any given time. I cannot make a copy.

When I am viewing the section of the book, the rest of the book is “checked out”. No one else can look at it. Is this not how a library works? I check out an item, then I take it back? Are they not making the steps to make sure I can check it out, read it, and then I have to give it back?

Since libraries are allowed to loan from their collection, what makes digital any different? In the case of video, if the library wanted to check out a video and stream it to me, I see no difference than me checking it out myself. In fact libraries are granted the right to show videos to me and small groups, so why can’t I be farther away than in their building?

The current move of libraries to streaming services is exactly because of this. Now the library has a license, and cannot share the stream without the license. This is a move to remove physical items so that the possibility of streaming from a physical item is moot.
