The garbage men donâ(TM)t need to slow down to inspect the trash. There are cameras that record the dumping of the trash can into the truck, they use some (AI?) software to identify infractions, then send you an additional bill along with a link to a video recording of your noncompliant trash sorting. Service provider is Waste Management, in the Seattle area. Welcome to an altered future. https://www.thedrive.com/news/...

Don't go up the ladder, go down. I extensively use 20% concentrated vinegar to control weeds and brush on my ~1 acre property. It's just as fast acting and effective as Roundup, but instead of causing cancer, it smells like salad dressing. Unlike Glyphosate it is not a selective herbicde and kills broadleaf plants and grasses alike. So it's not as useful for farmers spraying Roundup resistant soybean crops. But for control of backyard weeds, it's much preferred to giving your family and pets cancer.

Oh, you are in for a treat. I'd really consider it more "words being spoken pompously" than "singing."

NASA developed, built, and operated a satellite catching craft over 50 years ago. It was called the STS, otherwise known as the Space Shuttle. Publicly, it caught the Solar Max satellite, the Hubble Space Telescope, and several others. Thatâ(TM)s what it was built for. What do you consider the chances are that a few Soviet satellites were also visited during the classified Department of Defense missions? https://www.nasa.gov/history/3...

I mean, no, not really. Penicillin was discovered in 1928, ignored for many years, and then was industrialized in about a a year and half in 1941 by a half dozen researchers working at the University of Oxford. The Manhattan Project took 3 years, 130,000 employees, 33 Billion dollars in modern currency, and created industrial waste sites which will be contaminated for at least 25,000 years.
