With all of the ways we peons are used for profit, I wish we could benefit from many small dividends. Maybe we get a few bucks a year from FB, a few bucks a year from Google, a few bucks a year from our local community, a few bucks a year from our state, a few bucks a year from our country, etc. It would help our existence feel less exploitative.

I look forward to seeing what does and doesn't become popular in the "metaverse."

Unfortunately, all of the social media and media platforms that have sprung up to offer alternatives to Facebook, Twitter, etc, are either filled with political extremists who have been banned from other platforms or are dead. I like the idea of Substack and Minds and any other platform that allows creators to monetize their content easily. I just wish they weren't populated with the dregs of society.

I'm in my 30s and I'm generally perfectly fine with subtitles but if I'm watching something while doing chores I'll choose something without subtitles.

One of these would be able to replace all of the power plants within a few hundred miles of me. Most of which are coal, natural gas, or oil.

I suppose Facebook's specific version of "Metaverse" could be stopped but it feels like we're headed that direction, so if Facebook's version is stopped, someone else will fill that void.

Cool find! Thanks for sharing.

I was happy with this movie. I'm glad that the review mentioned the back and forth borrowing between Dune and Star Wars. I just wish I didn't have to wait for part 2 (and beyond). I hope we can get at least 3 great movies from Villeneuve in the Dune Universe.

Science Vs podcast did an episode on it that was fairly interesting.

I didn't realize they were marketed towards female drivers back then.

Is the power coming from hydro?

If it works for you, I'm happy with that. Personally I would prefer if the plane started the takeoff process the moment I sit down. I really don't enjoy sitting down and having to wait 20-40 minutes for the rest of the passengers to board. I'd rather be in the airport than in the airplane. I don't enjoy sitting for 4-6 straight hours while we're flying. I would almost prefer they pack us in horizontal cubbies at this point. Over the past 15 years, my shoulders haven't gotten any wider but the seats have certainly gotten narrower.

I can't think of a reason an able-bodied person with no children would want to board early. I like to minimize the amount of time spent sitting in the cramped seats so I always try to be in the last 10 people boarding. I always travel with just a backpack and a water bottle so I don't have to worry about overhead storage being full.

Oops.. I'll leave out the part about going to Value Village for longer trips.

That's not surprising, and yet, at the same time very surprising considering all of the other potential sources of trash.

I was going to say that I remember reading about this in HS, then I saw "That was 2002" and confirmed my suspicion.

That said, the math doesn't work out. If he was 14 in 2002 when he started building windmills, I doubt that he's 22 in 2019.

I hope I don't lose job security because of this!

Didn't they release a video showing how the screens were tested by folding and unfolding 200,000 times?

The caps are HDPE and can be recycled at home. www.preciousplastic.com

The bottles are PETE and can be repurposed for lots of things, like thread. www.plasticbottlecutter.com

that means I should always have a job!

Of course it is! The past two offseasons have felt really long for me being a braves fan. Last year because of scandal and this year because of anticipation.

Taco Bell has always been a good option for vegetarians. I'm glad they aren't doing it in 'meat substitute' way. I'm an omnivore and eat meat and veggies, but I would rather have the veggies be showcased than modified to resemble the meat they are replacing.

Taco bell probably could have gone this route and offered meatless taco meat (and it probably would be delicious) but I'm glad that they are just replacing the meat with black beans and showcasing the black beans.
