  • That’s just not true. Bottles are made from 4 different plastics that all have to be separated for recycling (bottle, label, cap+ribbon, soft part inside the cap to make a waterproof seal). The ribbon part the cap is attached to is also present in bottles where the cap is not attached and it has to be removed anyway. So nothing really changed there except the part that has to be removed is bigger now.

    Despite what right wing nuts that have to be against every progress say, there is literally no downside to this law.

    But the biggest improvement is from nature cleanup crews that previously always found the bottles but never the caps.

    Religion is a rationale for other evils. It is in itself not evil.

    Patriarchy and racism (and many religions do that too) are all the same thing - chauvinism, the belief in the superiority of the own group. This also includes nationalism, homophobia, xenophobia and any other “I hate you because you are different”-isms

    So I’d go with:

    1. Chauvinism
    2. Capitalism (greed)
    3. People who blast music on speaker in public transit





  • The problem is that the standard is fucking huge and maybe your browser supports every feature of version 5xx but is missing a feature related to authentication using guinea pigs introduced in v369. So it would only be allowed to advertise compatibility with v368 even though it can do everything except Guinea pigs.

    Realistically you would trim the standard to a core set and advertise compatibility with a version of that and then advertise optional extensions. And that’s optional bits if you ask me.

    Yeah measuring in diameters is pretty strange but it was the first thing that poped into my head that would yield factors of pi.

    Could also be that they a standard unit (1u) and would use both 1u radius wheels and 1u circumference wheels.

    Or its all derived measures like “the length of a wheel spoke” and “the length of a string around the same wheel” so never the actually physical wheel is used for the measuring.

    Maybe we should ask the tired archeologists?
