For glass it only ever made sense to reuse it, like cleaning and filling bottles. Otherwise, glass is so cheap and easy to make that recycling makes no sense. It takes just as much energy to melt old glass for recycling as it is to melt san

Smokers at least, and im sure it would also apply to alcohol abusers, actually costs less money because they die much faster and easier (conveniently usually just before retirement age), they are offered less health treatment options overal

This isn't unexpected to happen occasionally, as long as it is rare. Nothing is failure proof and the failure mode for a big battery is many times fire. This is like reporting on somebodies car throwing a rod while on the road or anoth

The problem is even though we have gotten miraculously stable lithium batteries, they still aren't 'bulletproof' enough that explosion and fire risks are negligible. Add 3x more energy to it and it starts becoming a really bi

I would say it is medical, I personally avoid saying bipolar to people I don't know well because it has come with some adverse reactions over the years. I don't know your boss but I would expect to get fired for it, ask if you can

I hate to say it but tariffing their own food supply is not a tenable position. Granted they likely have some pretty fucking large stockpiles of foodstuffs and grains, but they are still very dependent on US agriculture, especially in conce

Not to be a debbie downer but... just in time for floor traders to become completely irrelevant. But I guess it wouldn't be news worthy if are you counting the women running the trading bots because they have been around for a long tim

Well we do already need storage solutions for balancing renewable power, I don't see why we couldn't add a little more so the nuclear plants can offload power in down times. If we use for example water storage up on a mountain or

I agree with the principle of bringing local jobs back, bolster our own industries to be more self-sufficient, however I think it is being done in the most disruptive and unstabalizing way possible. We should be going for a firm but gentle

Right now ocean currents are near one full turnover from around the start of the industrial revolution. Up until now, as deep ocean currents rose to the surface it was exposing fresh water unladen with excess CO2, but now the current coming

Two public schools I went to in the mid-west here had private pop vending machines installed up until like 6-7 years ago when people complained about them not being healthy. However what they replaced them with was 'vitaminwater'

Most food suppliers for schools are the same companies supplying food for prisons. With a captive consumer base I certainly wouldn't expect all that great of fruit and vegetables. Their only concerns are profit and passing minimum safe

I agree with all of that. Personally I don't even use a smart phone because of the lack of controls over knowing what or who is tracking whatever crazy shit. I either carry a laptop or a netbook when I go places, which isn't perfe

It depends on the cause but if the only thing wrong is your eyes are focused to closely, then you will have better vision up close because you have better magnification from the shorter focused lens.

You only really need to slow charge when you get near to top or bottom end of the battery's charge. From around 20-80% charge you can charge the fuck out of you shit with no drawbacks, but if you try and push the those limits then you

Im not sure it is contractual when death is the alternative. It isn't like they can just walk to an empty piece of land and build a cabin and farm on it to live. Or wander the wilds foraging and hunting. Work, or the capital to purchas

Maybe im just a debbie downer but I don't see how these could possibly compete with metal sintering and traditional milling and CNC work. An inferior metal alloy with a huge price tag that will require machining anyways.
