That is the same system as we have but I would call that single stream.
Multi stream is when you separate metal from plastic/paper at least to me.

Really Aluminum, glass, and steel are easy to recycle. Plastic and paper can be burned for energy or recycled. I am not a fan of "green" as I feel most are just nut balls but come on I see recycling as just the way we should throw stuff away.
"Is this somehow worse than hurting actual rhinos? Is there some reason to class humans as a super species that have a greater right to exist than any others other than anthropomorphic arrogance?"
Yes because it is our species. Really any member of a species that does not put the survival of the other members of it's species over a different species is flawed from a biological viewpoint. A prey animal will not allow a starving predator to take another member of the herd just so predator can survive. A rhino will not worry about killing a human if it can to protect the herd. It will also not worry about trampling and or eating the crops of a starving farmer. It is you that is trying to make humans into some kind of super species.
That is the purely biological reasons you are wrong and why this is a bad idea.
The ethical reason is that someone could be given that medication not of their free will. You can not target it at only the guilty with 100% accuracy.
But then I do not believe in the death penalty for murder much less for buying a pill.
How about this.
You allow very rich people to hunt Rhino Poachers?
Yes it is terrible idea and I don't really think it is a good idea.
Actually a guy did weld armor on to a bulldozer and tried to take out a town.

It is legal to own a howitzer or a bazooka in the US. The rockets and shells I believe are regulated.
You can also own a fighter plane and or a bomber.
You can own a tank in the UK as well.
If you ever go to an airshow odds are you will see people flying fighters and bombers that they own.
It sounds really dumb but frankly I just do not see people using any of these to commit crimes.
Sounds fair to me.
I live and work in South Florida. I have a 30 minute commute which is not bad but yes it is by car.
The pluses are we have sunshine, beaches, a low cost of living, and lost of places to eat, and some theater.
I do work for a tech company but not a lot of new ones are moving in down here. I don't know why since this is the birthplace of the PC. I work with a lot of ex IBM and Motorola people.
Yes you have to drive but with gas at
I do admit you comments about zones leaves me blank but oh well.
Yes. Apple does not like or allow crapware add on in the app store.
Much like war games and Flight Simulators driving games are going too far.
It is really hard to drive fast around a track. Race car driver spend years develop their skills.
I want to jump in and burn up a track!
I am really into flight sims but then I love to fly PA-28s and 172s vs 747s in FSX.
" Criminals should switch to Euros to avoid being pursued by the US outside its borders."
So besides Russia and Qatar is anyone upset with the US going after FIFA?
Buzz Aldrin... You sir are a bad ass.
Went to the moon.
Punched an idiot for saying that we did not go to the moon.
Armstrong was also a class act but you got to love Buzz Aldrin.
Next you need to punch Adam Curry over and over again for claim that Armstrong lied about the moon landing right after he passed away.
Should be no issue for a stone or nickel iron asteroid. Even for an ice or carbonaceous a series of smaller devices should not "shatter" one.
"I would much rather that we look into splattering it with a bunch of white material"
You would probably find the total mass needed would be very large compared to nuclear devices for the same total effect.
a B61 is less than 700 lbs and can produce 600kt yield.
a W32 is less than 70lbs can can yield 250t.
Actually no it is not.
You do not try and blow up the NEO. You try and deflect it. The idea is that you use the "shaped" nuclear charge design developed for the Orion.
The NEO becomes the pusher plate and you nudge it so that it does not hit the earth.
Interesting idea but would it work? Or would people just contract to remote teams and even more money would flow into the Indian economy. At least with H1-B workers they pay rent, US taxes, and by stuff here.
Of course you could try and cut off all trade with India but cutting trade for human rights abuses in India while opening trade with Cuba is at best a little hypocritical.
Yes I am, sapien.
