How did you train for all that? I feel like I waste a lot of energy on climbs, but I can't quite figure out why. Could use some help.

Did you hear about the guy who won a downhill race after losing his chain out of the gate? Mountain biking is a lot closer to mountain skiing than it is to race biking - very little locomotion, a whole lot of body balancing. https:/&#

If you short bitcoin-based ETFs on NYSE and Bitcoin subsequently tanks the value of the ETF goes to zero and you walk away with your proceeds from the original sale and with no obligation to give the original ETF back. There is no counter-p

Well, that's a year old now, isn't it? And the negative impact of the virus consists of both mortality and virality.

Now that we have ETFs one could short Bitcoin and profit from collapse.

That’s hardly fair. The world is full of unbanked people, people who are simply not interesting to the regular banking system and so have no access to it. Yet they have needs. Bitcoin is probably crap for this because transaction costs, but

We would also have torn handles, pants-staining leaks, groceries spilled across the parking lot, double and triple bagging, and so on. In fact we already have all of these problems thanks to the ham-fisted paper bag laws. I would be more am

That's good to know. Do you have a source handy?

A 1x1x1 km landfill (they are actually holes in the ground) can contain the entire waste of the US for three years. How many of those can we hide in the western US without anyone ever noticing? Howa bout a 100x100 km patch, that will hold 3

> Assuming that we can keep burying it forever is not a healthy attitude. Yes it is. Just because some decision made in the past is wrong doesn't mean a different decision made in the present is also wrong. There is no harm to landf

Where do you live? In the Pacific Northwest I see nothing of the sort, the only nuisance is aluminum beer cans.

So is petroleum-derived plastic buried in the landfill. In fact bio-derived plastic buried in the landfill is carbon-negative and should be encourged!

A landfill 1x1x1 km can contain the entire waste the US produces in 3 years. A small patch of land 100x100 km has enough space to keep trash for 30,000 years. https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-...

Let’s talk about the US then. Do you agree we’re not running out of land? If so, what is the point of recycling?

Look into wool. Expensive, but super comfy and likely not bleached. Given the higher price some of the brands make it a point to detail the environmental and animal welfare impact.

Biodegrading plastic releases CO2, landfill-buried plastic does not. Apart from that, what problem are you trying to solve with this innovation?
588.
by DenisM 6y ago
The countries which are the most preoccupied with recycling plastics, such as the US, are also the least likely to throw they trash into the ocean. Plastic bags do no harm buried in the landfill, and we’re not running out of land.

We’re not running out of land tho.

And that is what I came here for! Thank you. In case you are not aware of it, the podcast Revolutions by Mike Dunkan is a great way to learn about, well, revolutions.

Meta-studies are most useful since someone proficient in the art has taken the trouble to find and analyze all relevant papers. Often times they also publish the method they used to discover and discard papers in addition to the analysis, s

There are agri businesses that use GMO and those who don't. Naturally they would try to use what they can - real studies, fake studies, activists, etc. Point being, there is money to be made on both sides.

How could it be that all plastic leach and yet some plastics remain in nature for thousands of years before they decompose?

That makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
