I never understood why you're allowed to just send as much mail as you want to people that didn't ask for it. The particularly egregious letters are labelled as important and with time sensitive information. We already have rules

I was also wondering about this and it got me thinking - I'd the turbines would be spinning fairly slowly, and I'm picturing some sort of filtering device behind them that could filter plastics or other pollutants to the ocean. In

Went looking for a comment about this, seems like there is a Taiwan TLD[1] but that's definitely a different situation. I can't even think of a good general system for this that isn't open to one powerful country or a group o
