    You’re saying this to a gay guy who works around trumpers in a factory.

    Trump being president doesn’t mean the gays will be rounded up into camps or something. I hate when people play this card that we’re all gonna get fucking murdered and it’s my fault for not voting blue, like what? It’s apparent that it’s playing on emotions to use LGBT people as some weird guilt trip and it’s honestly pretty gross. I can take care of myself and my partner and our home just fine thanks. And I feel no differently safety wise whether it’s a Republican or Democrat in office.

    God what the fuck is this comment. Donezo? Can you not make a genocide into tryin to be cute or whatever tf this is

    Fuck Biden. Committed leftists / socialists / communists are not gonna hand wring about one president over another. I haven’t voted since Obama 2012, no plans to start anytime soon. Electoralism will not save us and I’m tired of hearing the lesser of two evils is the solution for the last, idunno 50 years? Unless a candidate were to stop all weapon sales to Israel (never gonna happen), it’s not worth all this song and dance bullshit







  • Well this is interesting.

    I worked for 7 years at a Swedish company who built granulators, Rapid Granulator AB. I worked stateside though as the only electrical technician.

    From what I could glean about the machinery we built and sold, they would say that the only viable way to recycle plastic is as it was being manufactured. So say you’re a facotry making hundreds of garbage cans a day. All the rejects (wrong chemical makeup, big bulge from the molding process, etc) would go into a granulator for “recycling”. The granulator grinds it down into small pellets which are then used at the beginning of the line.

    From what I remember, customers were very very picky about what could be used after granulation. A little bit of the wrong color of dye would ruin a whole batch for instance. I’m curious to see exactly how this site zero plans to recycle waste products coming from the general population, on an engineering / technical level…

    This, of course, is also dancing around the fact that it’s a bit of an open secret that most places in America do not recycle. And I’m talking systemically, not on an individual level. In my county I know that all recycling goes to the exact same landfill as all the trash. It’s a bit hard to feel hopeful when the USA sends 242 million pounds of plastic straight to the ocean every year. I felt a little better about it when China would sort through and recycle our plastics.



  • Well remember when that Arch update broke grub?

    I couldn’t boot into my PC at all. And for whatever reason, the fix they posted on the Arch wiki wasn’t working for me.

    I deleted my bootloader in a live ISO environment and installed a different one (rEFInd). It was actually very easy.

    Having the flexibility and power to do whatever you want to your system is truly something I deeply appreciate with Linux.
