BHP was the one behind the weak messages attributed to the yes campaign. They deliberately played this one to lose.

The thing is she randomly got lucky and proven right due to a pandemic that no-one expected. There are a huge number of other scientists out there who were also right but never had that luck.

Sounds like treason to me.

When's someone going to have the balls to charge him with it, and then sentence him to death for it?

Smoking's already dramatically fallen out of popularity with younger people, being replaced by vaping. So I don't think it really matters what they do at this point - smoking's a dinosaur waiting to die.

That's what forcing people to return to the office does I guess.

And yet it's the auto industry lobby who's trotting this line out because they're not really ready for EVs and this is a good delaying tactic for them.

It's almost like people are incapable of comprehending that all types of pollution are important, not just one or the other. Exhaust emissions are bad. Tyre pollution is also bad. Reducing one is a good step. Reducing both would be even better.

It’s most commonly used in the UK

Also common in Australia

Even the theoretically recyclable ones don't usually get recycled because it's economically unviable in most cases.

Also Just for Laughs mostly uses people who are already in on the joke, which helps.

It's probably been in development since 2009 when it was cutting edge.

So it turns out that it's not a lack of women giving them a bad attitude - it's their bad attitude giving them a lack of women. Who'd have thought.

I think whatever wildlife was affected by it suffered their main disappointment a couple of thousand years ago.

Sadly, a very low percentage of plastic gets recycled anyway. In my country recycling company stats say only 10% - 20% of collected plastic is recycled. But the reality is much worse than that.

It turns out that nearly all of even that small percentage just gets shipped to a poor country for recycling because it's too expensive to recycle here. Once it's been shipped it's considered "recycled" but since recycling is expensive the company receiving it just takes the money and quietly landfills it in their own country.

The reality is that plastic recycling barely happens at all.

Some people catch it but never see any symptoms so they don't even know they had it.

Every couple of months it seems

Even if that's true AI isn't just LLMs. Saying that all AI is a surveillance technology is just stupid from a technical standpoint - you can train AIs on whatever data you like and it doesn't have to be surveilled data. Adding to that there are plenty of non-LLM AI technologies that have nothing to do with data gathered by surveillance.

I suspect the next generation will be horrified that people ever cooked in plastic. Or ate or drank out of plastic. They'll think of it the same way we think of lead pipes now.

The evidence of terrible health effects of plastic seems to be adding up very fast. Pthalates, PFAS, and microplastics all seem to be implicated in the increasing rates of ill health, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Godot has C# as an option.

Yes, he did. He was paid by the US government for it.
