We imagined 'greater things', now we can actually build real things.
I've known some smart kids, but never one that had an intuitive understanding of cast/benefit. You have to earn that with past mistakes. Get over loving your own ideas. 'Everything is a tradeoff' is drummed into your head in engineering school, as it should be.
Bet this boom has shed more weight of plastic than it collected, as will the next prototype.
What's the problem? Burning for power IS recycling.
If the plastic retains 70% of it's feedstocks fuel value, and takes it 50% of the same fuel value to make into new plastic, burning is the best solution. You can measure in dollars or tons of CO2, you'll almost always get the same answer.
The problem is dozens of types of plastics. Be careful what you ask for. Some really really dumb, head up ass, cities have different recycle bins for each plastic 'recycle number'. They still don't recycle more than a tiny % into 'new plastic'. Best they can do is plastic deck 'lumber' from milk bottles. That's the 'success story'.
They were chroming the insides of rifle barrels in the 40s. But no factory engine came with them until the 70s, when the Japanese did it.
If your bug motors lasted 350k, you needed bigger cams. Why? I once changed a bug motor in 20 minutes (with 2 others, baja so no sheet metal). That was slow, not close to a competitive time.
Mixed plastics are best recycled by being used as fuel. That is a harsh economic fact.
If you can't incinerate for power, then burying is the next best option. 'Throwing into nearest river' isn't in the top ten, neither is 'losing money hand sorting by chemistry so you can mix it with new plastic and make extra brittle new things'.
Nations compete on AverageROI * (1 - corporatetaxrate) * (1 - capgainsrate) * (1 - corruptiontaxrate). After tax ROI.
If they don't, they see no investment, capital flees. Adults understand this. They also understand that past ROI is no guarantee of future performance.
The Japanese invented (first to implement anyhow) the hard chrome rings trick. That's what turned 100k mile engines into 250k. The world copied them about a decade after (mid to late 80s). Once consumers saw how long Hondas and Toyotas were going on the original engines.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that GM, Ford, Mercedes, VW etc had sat on that for decades. Liking the service income.
My dad remembers the annual valve job and 40k rings and bearings. Yeah metallurgy.
American cars truly did suck in the 80s, beyond the sloppy body fits which were just longstanding crap standards. The only computer controlled carb worth a shit came from Japan. Thank dog we've settled into EFI. EPA rules and carbs made for absolute shit engines, from everyone.
Latin was supposed to teach you to follow logical rule systems.
Because an exception filled illogical ('Sailor' is neuter, lost his balls in the war) grammatical system is logical by the standards of the humanities.
It wasn't that long ago that 4 years of latin and 2 of classical greek were required for college admission. It was a weedout, keep out the riff raff whose HS didn't teach the subjects.
Under 65 is hardly 'the next generation'. The USA shifts costs away from the government, same as all other governments whose citizens let them get away with it.

Luxury. Bedrooms? We had to live in the middle of the road and eat ice cold gravel.
Filter your home search by 'No HOAs'. Or you will regret it.
Gets you old construction and square streets. Not some shitty subdivision full of that wonderful new construction and busybody assholes.
It will also get you the occasional 1000 square foot house on a horse property. Most will have rooms added by now, but not all.

If you want the best camera, you want a Sony phone.
They keep the best CCDs for their own use, ship the high defect counts to their competitors. Same as they've been doing for 20+ years.
Apple did, until this year.
Certainly, the gold apple watch was. They sold about two of those.
They just launched one you halfwit.
155 more by 2022.
Almost 1/week, I believe that.
Propaganda needs to be plausible, this isn't.
Latin was supposed to teach you to follow logical rule systems.
Because an exception filled illogical ('Sailor' is neuter, lost his balls in the war) grammatical system is logical by the standards of the humanities.
It wasn't that long ago that 4 years of latin and 2 of classical greek were required for college admission. It was a weedout, keep out the riff raff whose HS didn't teach the subjects.
If it fits the narrative, it runs. Surly this isn't the first propaganda you've seen.
Damn you're gullible. Even after they admit a story was bullshit, you repeat it.
Hubble is a re-tuned keyhole, turned upward. They've flown 7 or 8 'Hubbles' pointing down, the last new one flew last fucking week.
I don't know what population for feds you work with. Has not been my experience. They're competent at 'working' the federal system, can't be fired.
If your that stupid, they're nothing I can do. But health care savings accounts did cover the issue.
Your paying even more for the routine visit by running it through an insurance company.
Do you also skip oil changes on your car?
Not a simple question. Canning facilities are expensive. The only real advantage of cans is equalled by dark glass.
Unlined cans are not good. But the spray in plastic liner is old tech by now.
Seals that last until the product is stale are not useful. Rather they tempt manufacturers to run oversize batches and buy more flavors.
Under 65 is hardly 'the next generation'. The USA shifts costs away from the government, same as all other governments whose citizens let them get away with it.
Very few people in the USA drink mineral water.
It's just nasty until you get used to it.
If you live in Germany, you've got the wrong idea about American bottled water.
What? Six row and two row barley are both available everywhere.
Most european beer is made with six row barley, two row barley is the realm of craft beers.
Rice and corn sugar are tasteless alcohol adders. Also anything containing rice or corn is NOT BEER.
Have you ever made a single batch of homebrew? I doubt it.
You assume there is significant actual rhino horn in the product currently being sold.
The really rich ones, have cups made out of the horns, which somehow is supposed to make the liquid in the cup effective.
Good thing. Last thing anybody wants during a disaster is terrible can beer.
If that were true, the case wouldn't have been decided as it was.
If it was about boners, Viagra would have saved the Rhino.
It's about conspicuous consumption. They want the horns because they are expensive and will impress their friends.
Fake horns could destroy the market. Build a 3d Rhino horn printer that takes fingernail clippings as feedstock.
