you could google "windmill blade second life" and find numerous examples of uses of end of life blades.

But even if they aren't re-used....they are inert material just sitting in landfills. No worse than the mountains of trash society already produces.

Maybe originally, but now the demand for gasoline far outstrips the amount naturally found in crude oil. That's why they invented cracking.

If one day there ever were an excess of light components in oil, they could simply transform it into higher-weight molecules. Along those lines, one of the biggest uses for natural gas is for building polymer chains.

I wish I could say I'm surprised.

However, this has been a consistent pattern that goes back to the 1930s and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow if you corected that to the 1830s. Companies know that you make the most money by selling to both sides.

Well, I'll have to admit, I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

We shall call it Preparation H

LOLZ U funny. Data centers create nearly no jobs for their size. A new Chik-Fil-A creates more jobs than a huge data center.

Who needs school when we have TikTok?

Now that they've gotten rid of this woke DEI nonsense, they can spend 10x as much on some more wholesome and less-indoctrinating educational materials! /s

You seem to be confusing "wanting to get rid of communists" with "wanting their countries to be poor and dangerous".

This will be great for Haiku, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD installs, there's not the remotest possibility there'll be binaries for these. Not because the software couldn't be ported, but because the sorts of people politicians hire to write software would never be able to figure out the installer.

Sperm stem cells make sperm cells and other sperm stem cells. If early in life, the donor had 5 sperm stem cells and one of them mutated, from then on 20% of new cells would be the mutated form.

This is not my area of expertise. I'm just offering a hypothesis.

"When a country has most of it's [sic] citizens all ... speaking the same"
Switzerland has four official national languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. The first three are in common use.

Assimilation means that the incoming people adopt the culture of the area they're entering. Assimilation is their job, and in many cases they're not doing it.

The Swiss have historically acted to maintain the value of their currency by not "printing money for themselves" as much as most other countries do. That's an honorable and honest thing to do.
