I'd say make up your own damn mind Dard!

Posts continue to misrepresent VAERS COVID-19 vaccine data

Missing context. VAERS, a passive reporting system run jointly by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S.

All those people wearing winter puffies, lining up for hours under the Oklahoma summer sun really dodged a bullet, eh?

It hardly matters. Plastic's life cycle will always inhibit recycling as a profitable enterprise. The only answer is to tax it out of existence which won't happen. We're screwed. It's everywhere, the whole thing's a joke.

Not sure what the "life cycle" means but basically this guy was saying that if you nail the tech then you can get governments to pay you to take landfills off their hands, then mine the landfill for all the resources in it and sell them too. Perfect business model until the landfills run out but you could do it for decades before that happens.

I'm not sure what the "tech" might be but each time a plastic item gets recycled it loses quality, eventually to become useless. We just have to stop buying it, which is as simple as avoiding Coles and Woolies.

Oh the tech is apparently a way to magically somehow render it back to the oil it was originally made of. No idea tbh, he said some words I didn't understand, but if it's possible then it's pretty cool.

How do you all go with in-laws?

Me?.... not so well.

Check this out on YouTube CyclingMikey. I stumbled on this a couple odd days ago, this guy is the biggest Div but quite funny in a WT* way. He’d last about a week here before ending up road kill or beaten to a pulp.

Probably the only mass vaccination event over all age groups over a short period in history too. Really hard to get anything accurate from the data. Giving vaccines to 95 yos and they die with in a week isn’t going to tell you much.

I watched a show years ago about micro plastics in fish they sampled from Sydney harbour. It was actually a really interesting doco, the amazing thing was the main source was washing machine waste water . So I went and checked my new Fisher & Paykel and while it had a spot for a filter you had to buy it and put it in yourself. That’s quite some time ago but how slack is that.

His editing is very good!

Best last scene ever?
My nomination is the last scene of Blackadder IV: the silence, the fade to Flanders fields, the appearance of red poppies and then the sound of birds singing.

Generally speaking, you ramp the temp, reduce the oxygen, the plastic goes "zomg it's so hot" and melts, and since plastic is parts crude oil, that oil goes "I'm free! FREE AT LAST!" so that it could be reused as other plastic for things, and potentially mixed with gasoline cause the USA do weird things with most things as why not put reduced plastic in a liquid used in a combustion engine so it can harden with coolant and ruin shit potentially?

They be straight factory type set ups though, like you see a oil depot on land with tubes out the wazoo, this is similar, just you know, the vats are high temp no air to extract, and breathing that sort of stuff is hazardous AF, so think mixed with firework factory that was repurposed for storage of bags of more bags of bags.

Indeed it's cool tech wise, but so not where it needs to be, thankfully it's still "new" enough to have easier and better ways to do things down the pipeline. But like crude oil and other things, slowly slowly and when it fails it fails spectacularly.

Not a last scene but in Blow when George Jung (Johnny Depp) is saying goodbye to his father on a recorded tape, knowing he'll be in prison the rest of his life, pulls at the heart strings

Dexter was a huge hit and miss although they tidied it up a bit in the sequel. The Wonder Years was nice too.
