Aluminum is the 3rd most abundant element on the planet, and they probably make those bags out of recycled Al anyhow. At that thickness, a single soda can could probably make thousands of bags. I wouldn't worry much about tossing them in the trash.
The problem with the compostable ones is that they aren't so good if you try to use them as a kitchen bin liner. I produce so little waste that once or twice the under-sink bin liner has started to decompose before I realise it's filling up.
If I'm remembering rightly, they even had special trolleys that the crates fitted right into. Everything went straight into the crate as you shopped-and-scanned. You bought the crate outright, so it was yours, you just took it out to the car with the shopping in there and walked it right into the house. I still see them now and then when someone on my street is moving.
Of course the self-scanning thing is kind of the trick here.
Ok, that is downright brilliant. The big box megastores in the US give the discarded packaging boxes, but you invariably need to repack your groceries after you buy them into your car. This would make the entire checkout experience more efficient if they combined it with hand-held scanners instead of conveyor belts.
He should just keep a normal dose of coke, plus a cyanide pill. Bliss followed by a quick death.
The problem though is that both are illegal to possess and could land you in jail while you're still healthy.
Better to keep a large container of compressed nitrogen gas in your bedroom. And make sure your bedroom is somewhat airtight (e.g. gaps in the window sills caulked, etc)
Nitrogen is legal to own and can be bought at any scuba store. Flooding your bedroom with large amounts of nitrogen is a pleasant, quick, and painless way to die. And all you have to do is close the door and turn the valve on.
And hope you don't accidentally kill the person that discovers you.
Ha, here is a question to Adams: why did not his father make such arrangement when his mind was still with him? Is it possible he did not want to die by his own or anyone else's help? Perhaps he himself has religious or moral problems with that? Do whatever da fark you want, but don't make decisions for anyone else, even if they are your family. You really have no moral or ethical right to determine anyone else's right to live.
Corporations have lots of money to make off of keeping people alive that probably should not be. Same as they have lots of money to make from incarceration from people that should not be.
And that is fairly scary for hospice situations. If people are not allowed to die, eventually they will gain tolerance to the painkillers and there will be some suffering, and there is not a thing they can do about it.
At school we were also taught how the French Revolution was an amazing thing for pretty much the same reasons you were. This was way back when America and France would congratulate each other on their freedom, while having those freedoms erode away. At least now most of us from this generation understand that it was always an illusion.
This is just another teenage rebellion movement like Libertarianism. "Don't trust the old people. They're just trying to oppress you!" Yes, Libertarians, you are now the old guys who can't be trusted.:) As such you and your philosophies must be rebelled against much like you tore at the chains of your oppressor parents in the two party system.
Yes, the baby boomers are now all over thirty, but they would probably be considered liberals not libertarians. The movement that spoke of don't trust anyone over thirty was the hippies. The phrase is credited to Jack Weinberg.
Presuming you meant "the kids of the baby boomers are now all over thirty". This would accurately explain some people my age that are ultra-conservative as going against their hippie parents.

This was the article I was replying to. The summary link is to a whackjob website.
Nope, my reply ended up on the wrong article. Tabbed browsing FTL.
Here is a list of articles on this site:

And this is the grocery stores' problem how?

What, is the shifter between their legs? This isn't a cockpit.
That isn't a shifter...
I didn't read the article...
Well there is a big surprise.

What arrangement? Assisted suicide is illegal.
Corporations have lots of money to make off of keeping people alive that probably should not be. Same as they have lots of money to make from incarceration from people that should not be.
Making assisted suicide illegal satisfies both.
And that is fairly scary for hospice situations. If people are not allowed to die, eventually they will gain tolerance to the painkillers and there will be some suffering, and there is not a thing they can do about it.
"Why'd you get married?"
"So I'd have someone to kill me some day"
Seriously, if that's your outlook on life/marriage I feel really sorry for your wife.
Perhaps they are Klingon.
"Do no harm."
"Makes patient suffer with no hope of recovery."
Yeah, he is a worthless doctor if he doesn't know when it is hopeless.
Or if I had a time travelling police box.
Its because they are paid as well as Wallmart employees and can't afford real food, right?

No, thanks.
A better response would be "Fuck that."
So to answer GGP's question of "What does the Monarch do?", the answer is "Avoid getting beheaded."
Also, your statement sounded like Canada's reply. Still relevant, though.
So then they just start sending you junk faxes instead.
I pronounce photog as "pho-tog". I think it is a Vietnamese dish.
Well, their logic is the same as No True Scottsman, so there is no surprise here.
I tried to find a relevant image and found this instead.
Also amusing as I used to work with a Doctor Hu at a previous job. That joke never ever got old.
