Pluto will always be the ninth planet in my book.

States have “official” everything. It’s a waste of time and taxpayer money.

You’d think Disney would make it into a Broadway musical like they have with every other Disney property.

🤷‍♂️ No one is making you use them. I’m more concerned about all the single use non biodegradable plastic. At least straws are available in materials that biodegrade.

Yes. And they are usually treated with creosote. Which is why you should never use them in a vegetable garden.

We still don’t have high speed rail in the US.

I read recently that recycled plastics make better railroad ties than wood does. You’d think someone would jump on that.

I’m actually more concerned about all the plastic they manufacture per year.

Current implementation seems like overkill. Why not just:

• Search “Eiffel tower”
• send search term to Apple server that already exists (Apple Maps)
• server returns gps coordinates for that term
• photos app displays photos in order of nearest to those coordinates

I don’t really understand the purpose of the feature — GPS tags are already embedded in the photo by the phone, so it knows the location of each picture. The phone also analyzes faces of people you’ve identified so you can search for people you know. What else does this new feature add?

I think it was his end run around Apple donating the money directly which would have been a complete disaster. I don’t think Cook supports trump in a “rah rah” sort of way, but knows if the company doesn’t pay him suck up money, it will come back to haunt them later.

Either way, it’s still gross.

Apple opted customers in, got sued, and will now prompt customers if they want to be opted in or out.

A lot of gum base is made from plastic. Below are some more sources.

• polyethylene
• vinyl acetate

These ingredients are hidden behind “trade secrets” so they aren’t listed on the wrapper.

The irony about asking if gum could be made from a plant source — what do you think it was made from originally? I’d much rather chew on chickle than something that’s going to deposit petroleum-based microplastics in my gut. I get enough of that from food packaging already. “Natural” gum bases still exist and if you Google around you can find lists of chewing gums that still use them.

Think of all the plastic that ends up in landfills thanks to these “disposable” razors.

Sounds like something the political parties should be offering education in. “Come to our shindig, have some free bbq, and learn how to vote using current voting machines and mail in ballots! All ages welcome!”

That probably wouldn’t hold up in court.

No. We are not ok. About half of us have centered their lives around fuck you I got mine and let’s be cruel to everyone else.

Where did all the money go?

He sounds like a real asshole.

Shitty thing to say, but true. The rich don’t pay their share of taxes. That’s left for us “little people” to pay.
