Jesus Christ, people, quit watching videos and do something with your lives. If you don't have enough time to watch everything, then the problem isn't what you think it is. Put down the fucking phone/tablet/computer and do something useful. It's much more satisfying.
So Amazon is planning to show video ads while I search for products to buy from them? This makes no sense, it is like shopping channel introducing commercial breaks.
As long as lazy Americans won't have to move their fat asses any more than they do now, they'll submit to anything. They're fine with giving up all of their personal data in exchange for a minor convenience. They won't care about this.
There are major costs involved with processing and transporting it, and this state is running out of money to fund such activities.
We just had a $2 Trillion tax cut. There's plenty of money to spend on recycling. The American people have decided that they're not interested in paying for it, though.
You should toss it into a landfill, because the processing is just another form of energy waste or pollution which didn't save anyone money compared to using raw materials.
Energy can be used from the sun or wind to recycle. That plastic that we don't recycle will remain toxic for hundreds of thousands of years. Recycling plastic is very important to the survival of humans on Earth.
At some point, the human race is going to have to quit making disposable plastic. We are literally poisoning ourselves with our own waste. I don't think that most people take kindly to being told that they're going to have to adjust their quality of life (or at least convenience) downwards, but that's what it's going to take in order for the human race to survive on Earth in the not too distant future.
I'm disappointed at seeing Apple morphing into a toy company. It used to be a company, that, even while I was using Windows stuff, was at least a viable alternative for high end hardware and robust software. Now it's not even a viable alternative (for work... they make great toys). What a shame. Now my options are down to Windows... or Windows. Ugh. I wish desktop Linux was a viable alternative. That'd be pretty awesome.
Actually, I think that keeping backups are super simple. Copy everything onto a hard drive. Copy that hard drive onto a few others. Check it every so often. Move it to newer hard drives as the old ones fail or the hard drives can't be read easily by modern computers. I've successfully kept all of my personal stuff for about 30 years now, and haven't lost anything.
They can scan, but they still don't fix electronic parts. I've never heard of a mechanic fixing a circuit board. They replace them. On electric cars, I think they'll continue to do so.
Wells-Fargo is a criminal organization. It has been proven time and time again. At this point, if you're a person who can read, there's literally no excuse to be "banking" with these assholes. I know it sounds like hyperbole, especially considering they're one of the largest commercial banks in the US, but the facts don't lie. They are a criminal organization being run by absolute idiots. Put your money into a local credit union that has a good track record. In the US, where we have laws that favor the largest corporations over individuals, bigger is not usually better.
I think we'll see all sorts of rental properties having to add charging to stay competitive. It's. One time construction cost, and it's an asset. I think build out will be pretty quick. One day, it'll just be a required part of any commercial or residential driveway construction. My guess is 2025ish. I'm seeing more Leafs and Teslas every day.
My mechanic is planning on specializing in vintage cars as the electrics start happening. He expects it'll be a pretty quick switch. He says that there will be very little to fix outside of suspensions, and occasionally brakes. Even brakes won't need as much fixing, because electric cars will probably all use regenerative braking. Electric motors, of course, last a very, very, very long time, and generally, they're so cheap that it makes more sense to replace a motor than taking the time to re-wind the coils.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...: "Geogroup was awarded the contract to operate migrant detention facilities which held children separate from their families. The company is accused of mistreatment of the children, leading to two deaths. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...: "The T. Don Hutto Residential Center is a former medium-security prison in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas, which, from 2006 to 2009, held accompanied immigrant detainees ages 2 and up under a pass-through contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division of Homeland Security.[45] After local and national protests because of the poor quality of treatment, federal officials announced on August 6, 2009, that it would no longer house immigrant families in this prison.[46] Instead, only female detainees will be housed there."
I'm not ignoring anything. I read the transcript in the Newsweek article that you linked to. You're literally ignoring the English words that the CEO of Wells-Fargo said. You apparently want to just say random things that are untrue without having anybody tell you that you're wrong. Perhaps you should consider arguing with a wall. You'll be more successful.
Mr. Sloan, why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?"
Ocasio-Cortez appeared to be referencing the fact that Wells Fargo has been in the business of financing private prison companies.
"Uh, I don't know how to answer that question, because we weren't," Sloan responded.
Ocasio Cortez followed up: "You were financing—involved with debt financing CoreCivic and GeoGroup, correct?
“For a period of time, we were involved in financing one of the firms," said Sloan. "We aren’t anymore. I’m not familiar with the specific assertion that you’re making, but we weren’t directly involved in that."
Ocasio-Cortez eventually relented on the point.
"These companies run private detention facilities run by ICE which is involved in caging children, but I'll move on," she concluded.
"But, uh, somebody else did something bad." has nothing to do with the fact that Wells-Fargo did finance the companies that put children in cages. Try again, Ivan.
That was an awesome line of questioning. What do you think is wrong with it, exactly? Why do you think it's "absurd"? Wells-Fargo financed the companies who cage children. That's a fact. The CEO of Wells-Fargo said so.
What you're describing is the same for any job. You trade your time for money. It's up to the organization to use those hours well to determine whether or not wealth is generated. There's no need to shit on jobs that you don't deem as worthy as whatever it is you do.

What law, specifically, do you think that Twitter is breaking? I'm confused.

Too bad they didn't use science to reach the proper verdict.
How do you know? Did you read articles that I didn't?
We are already sending all our traffic through a Google VPN today.
Whoever "we" is, that seems like a very bad idea.

The entire world needs to be doing this (and more... like consuming less).
What you said doesn't make any sense. Did you want to try again?
Processes that don't make money are "failures"? Like the military?
You should toss it into a landfill, because the processing is just another form of energy waste or pollution which didn't save anyone money compared to using raw materials.

... and we just bury all of that plastic until...?

Good point. That's a much better idea. It's not like hard drives are expensive any more.

Because it was a parody of the original exchange, which was almost equally as absurd.
If that was true, then somebody should post the original exchange, instead of some sort of Facebook Russian troll garbage.
