The fact that there isn't a website i can go to with an audit of where the plastics I "recycle" are even going is very frustrating to me. Probably in a landfill if we're lucky, or just dumped into the nearest waterway.
I conjecture that's why nobody's put something like tbat together, save a few municipalities that care to "waste" a small amount of funds to do so. Better to spend taxpayer money on a fleet of additional garbage trucks to haul the stuff to non-existent recycling centers instead. A good way to increase carbon and diesel soot output, though.
I've strayed a bit from carbon emissions by tech, but the same principles apply.
I totally agree with your "every 4 years" assessment. With countries like China and Vietnam, you have a pretty good idea things will be stable for the foreseeable future. America slams itself from reverse to forward and back every 4 or 8 years. Not good for either cars or the country..
First. although I initially got mad at the CEO for the firings, he did give them 16 weeks of severance and, what impressed me, let them keep their office equipment assigned to them (I am assuming that means laptop and desktop computers). Yes, it still sucks, but during my career as an engineer I got laid off several times with freakin' zero of anything.
The other thought is the stock buybacks thingy. Yes, corporate has been using the smoke and mirror thing for years. I think the can has been kicked as far as possible. The next time it is kicked, it will fall down into the quarry!
Between those and the endless election finally coming around, the next few weeks will be most "exciting". You know, the kind of excitement when a car strikes your motorcycle and you are about to hit the pavement, that kind of excitement.
"Microsoft famously rebrands stuff at quite a clip and isn't always consistent. In the case of Copilot, it started life as "Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365" before it was rebranded as "Microsoft 365 Copilot." Neither should be confused with the consumer version of Copilot, named "Microsoft Copilot." Nor with "Bing Chat" – another name used for what became Copilot."
So what's the problem here?
I walked to high school back then, and it was pitch black mornings after the "energy savings switch". An officer assigned to help us students cross a busy street had to push off the bonnet of a car to avoid being run over. No, thanks.
Tomorrow's class: Stop driving jacked up pickup trucks!
