OT: inconsiderate shoppers

But does it include other universes?

Write a 2000 word philosophical essay on why it is, isn't, might be, and could be under different circumstances and points of view.

litres. At about =A31.29 a litre, that's way more than =A330.

I needed a can for petrol once, I have always called them "Jerry cans", = I asked for one in the petrol station and she had no idea what I meant. = Then I saw one and picked it up. She said, "You mean a petrol can?!" = So I laughed and said, "No it's for diesel."

They do, I've seen the sorting place. But it is mechanised, not everything requires human intervention.

They claim to make garden furniture out of it for example.

But there are different things you can make with different types. When they started recycling plastic, they only took types 1 and 2, now they take anything, including the hard type 5 that things like mowers are made of.

Fat shouldn't mean you're classed as disabled. You brought it on yourself.

And there's so many disabled parking spots in residential areas, it's impossible for us able bodied folk to park legally any more, especially as they seem to put the disabled spots on alternate sides of the road! Everyone should always park on the same side to take up less space.

I take great delight in parking on the same side as the majority, close to a car on the wrong side, making it impossible for anyone to get past, then pointing out to the first victim that that car over there is the odd once out. I've even printed off some diagrams with condescending instructions to a few stupid neighbours who park on the wrong side. Some of them even take notice, especially since I started pointing out that they're preventing ambulances getting through.

And they knew the risks when they signed up.

There are scrap dealers here to but it takes a lot of metal to be worth the drive. I think clean steel is about $150 a ton and it needs to be clean (no other material attached). Back when work was hard to come by there was a family near me that used to strip "white goods" like refrigerators, washing machines etc and separate all the metals for the scrap man. they drove around looking for them on the side of the road. I know I called them once because I was setting a bunch of motors and transformers out and I wanted to give them first crack at them. They told me about the operation. Now that people are working, that stuff just sits there with a tag on it until the county sends the "special pick up" truck around. It probably ends up crushed in the land fill.

OTOH I go to the scrap dealer to buy things. If you need structural aluminum stuff, steel or miscellaneous pieces of stainless steel it is by far the cheapest place to get it. I piece of aluminum angle that you would pay $15 or $20 for in a store will be at the scrap place for a buck or two.

I don't think I ever saw a Radar traffic light sensor here. They are virtually all loops here

Yes, only many jobs as science teachers.

Even sillier than you usually manage, and that's saying something.

Even sillier than you usually manage, and that's saying something. It wouldn't have changed with anything to do with medicine or health care etc. Or more strictly could only have got better jobs prospects wise.

Clearly it isnt with jobs where you choose to 'live'

[Rod Speed]

But can see if its there so it needs to turn green, stupid.

[Rod Speed]

Nope.

Yes they do.

Must be why all of yours have induction loops.

Store brand is $1.50 here, sometimes $1 on sale.

[Rod Speed]

Wrong, as always, because all our cop cars have full time speed cameras. And it's a rare day I don't see any cop car on the garage sale run.

[Rod Speed]

I'm not as stupid as you.

[Rod Speed]

Nope. Even a terminal f****it such as yourself should have noticed that there arent any slices of blotting paper claiming to be bread in the wild.

They don't eat berrys in the wild.

It doesn't have kill them to be bad for them, stupid.

Mechanical sorting can separate out ferric metals and glass but they still go down a belt where workers pull out other stuff. The problem with plastic is that furniture is only using one type, same with a lot of other things and sorting those containers will never get back what it cost to sort them, even in China where the coolies are making a dollar a day. That is why they stopped taking in our recycle.

I really think if we are going to sort our trash, it should be metals in one bin, combustibles in another and everything else in a third (garbage, glass, china etc). Then they can recycle the metal, just burn the combustibles in a waste to energy plant and landfill the rest. As far as I know only type 1,2 and 5 are able to be recycled anyway Consumers are not going to be willing to sort 7 kinds of plastic, 3 or

4 kinds of glass and at least 3 kinds of paper. Otherwise it is just trash. It is really depressing when you find out we have dutifully sorted trash from recycle, put it out in separate bins, paid for some government workers to carefully sort it and bale it, then they haul it off to the landfill because nobody will take it. They did that story on the news, not that long ago.

But you often work out that it's safe to go over the limit. Therefore you're admitting the limit is wrong.

[Steven Watkins]

You slow down for those, stupid.

[Steven Watkins]

Ouch!

I'm not talking about the auto-wreckers or "breakers" - I'm talking the recyclers - the scrappies. They take anything metal and even buy e-waste
