      @tim_g This is good. I hate plastic containers(all, but especially for food) and avoid them when possible. Sometimes though when i go to the butcher shop and ask for no plastic the clerk refuses to give me stuff wrapped just in paper and will always wrap in a plastic bag then in butcher paper.
      Luckily though i live in an area where recycling is taken seriously and most plastics with a number can be recycled. And plant based plastics that are biodegradable are a thing now for food containers, which is great.

        You still have to be careful with paper. Much of it is still coated in the same crap that makes plastic so bad! For example, common kitchen papertowels, napkins, paper plates, etc...

            Why no one wants to host the Olympics anymore.

            You'd think it was because no one cares about it and doesn't watch it, but apparently being bad for your economy gets in there, too.

                        They include all launches, too. Not just SpaceX.

                                  Dog owners should talk to pets like babies. Cat owners should just say "yes sir", and bow.

                                      Ha ha ha ha. I threaten to turn my cat into a fur sock. (She's not big enough for a pair).

                                      I talk to my dog like a 3 year old.... He minds about as good as one, lol.

                                        I've heard that dogs are about as intelligent as toddlers. Cats? Not so much.

                                          😂 My cat is decently intelligent... she just has a stubborn streak... and doesn't really trust humans all that much, lol.
