Recycling of aluminum and cardboard makes sense. Recycling of plastic and glass does not. We should reduce consumption instead of telling people that recycling is the solution.
Not sure where you're getting the glass portion of that. My understanding was that glass is 100% recyclable, just the US does a shit job of doing it and delineating where it is done and where it isn't.
The trouble is plastic recycling is largely wishcycling.
FTFY
Plastic recycling is expensive, inferior, and largely not done. The greatest trick the plastic industry ever pulled was convincing us of plastic recycling actually being done and working.
Do not just turn. Instead turn + press the shoulder button on the same side, which causes your hovercar to tilt in that direction pressing that side against the track and rapidly rotate, much faster than actual turn rate of the direction you're going in, while losing much less airspeed than braking into turns normally.
Once it's facing the desired direction of travel, quickly tap the brake button. This resets your direction of travel towards one your hovercar is pointed at with minimal loss of airspeed.
Btw, excellent game. Original F-Zero was about learning what works, and F-Zero 2 was about insane tracks where you really needed to know how to control the vehicle to not just die because track had a lot of jumps which can kill you instantly.
Thanks for the reminder! Been too long since I played so I actually needed those tips for when I fire this up.
I have fond memories of fighting F-Zero X tracks to finally get the gold on some of them. Good times.
It's amazing how much resistance AI models have to verify this claim. But it finally computed that for a 200 lbs male, you'd need to take 7 shots of vodka (5.7 oz) to counter the immediate effects of methanol poisoning.
Where are you from that you consider
A shot is 1.5 oz, but it doesn't contain 1.5 oz of ethanol.
Valid, but then we'd be talking about

...between 1951 and 2022, Israel received $225.2 billion in US military aid.
That sounds incredibly low to me, tbh. But checking independent sources puts it closer to that than I was thinking.
This.
I gave up getting coffee at shops a few years back when I was tightening my belt for a few months and never ended up going back. I'll occasionally end up in a local coffee shop and getting a decent cup, but, the sheer quantity of coffee I drink, making a pot in the morning makes more sense for my regular fix.
I will get a cup of Starbucks on longer road trips solely because it tastes so bad and has so much caffeine that the combination ensures I won't be falling asleep.
PC handhelds already have superior specs for those who want them, and one you hit a retina display quality graphics can't really improve in handheld mode, meaning that most of the gpu will be going towards docked mode.
IMHO, Nintendo has not been trying to go after the high end since the Wii, so superior specs are kind of a moot point. It seems they've actively targeted a non-traditional gamer market while maintaining a ton of exclusive content that, on average, is higher quality than Sony has available (I don't XBox).
I have a Switch, a PS5, and a gaming PC; when I want a story-driven, long form game, I will often grab my Switch controller before I grab my DualSense or my keyboard and mouse because I have a wealth of story-driven Switch games available.
Well to be fair, Randall Munroe did write 5 years & it's taken 9. But being 4 years off in futurology is still pretty impressive.
Well, FTA (or, at least on of the articles), "Around five years have been invested in the development and construction of the AX Visio," so...
Isn't that lack of dynamic range part of why they were dug up though? That through the loudness war that extra dynamic range...
There's a lot of nuance to the loudness wars, but you're conflating extra dynamic range with dynamic range compression (the exact opposite). Digital (including CDs) can go full square wave -1 dB (you'll likely destroy your speakers, but the media can handle it), but if you did that with a vinyl, if you could even cut the lacquer, plate them, and press the vinyl, the listener's needle would pop out all the time.
A perfectly pressed vinyl would theoretically have a maximum of 70 dB dynamic range. A CD, on the other hand, is 16-bit, which is 96.32 dB maximum dynamic range. For reference, a symphonic orchestra typically has a dynamic range of around 90 dB. There are plenty of comparison videos (IIRC, Red Hot Chili Peppers's Stadium Arcadium was highlighted quite a bit at the time) explaining the difference in the dynamic range compression between vinyl and digital versions, but they weren't typically because of the medium.
It was typically the mastering engineer who did the work, and, for a long time (even sometimes after LUFS [Loudness Units relative to Full Scale] standards were established) artists and (even more often) labels hunted down mastering engineers who would master anything that could hit the radio loud. By virtue of modernization, most stations don't have turntables, so if the label wanted it loud, the artist would often have their preferred mastering engineer do the vinyl. But part of it is even more complicated and boils down to the vinyl engineer working the lathe, which is why different pressings of the same album (even to this day) sound different.
The courts agree with the actor, not you, it seems. The courts use precedence and statute and WAME doesn't seem to be contesting.
Please, point to a court case that isn't the court of public opinion. WAME forfeiting could easily just be them not wanting the bad publicity and/or the legal fight. From my understanding, gavron's statements seem accurate.
Good insight, but ALS is relatively rare. In contrast, quadriplegia from neck trauma is common...
Check yourself there. ALS effects, "1 in 250 for men and 1 in 400 for women," (source) meanwhile quadriplegic patients account for, "likely to be some 50 per 100 000 population with about 20 per 100 000 completely paralyzed." (source)
I'd say 1 in 400 is significantly more common than 1 in 5,000, but maybe I can't math.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
