Feel free I guess.

Yeah, but that's a pipe dream. Just move on.

Sure, but that plastic lining is a tiny amount of plastic, practically insignificant by mass.

And sure, glass works too, that's fine with me. But it's not simply better. It comes with the downsides of being heavier (requiring more energy to transport), less durable, and requiring more energy to recycle. It's a trade off.

Currently, aluminum has the highest rate of recycling of all beverage materials. So why not double down on the most successful packaging type in the history of recycling?

Well they're splitting recycling, but plastic, generally speaking is not recyclable. So it's the paper and metals that are being split off, the plastic goes in with everything else.

There are some plastics that are theoretically recyclable, but even that isn't really recycling is down-cycling turning a plastic into an interior plastic that isn't recyclable at all. Or repurposing and reusing a plastic, perhaps as pillow stuffing or melting it down with other things to make road paving material.

But the life of plastic is never a cycle, it's a path that can sometimes be extended a bit.

You can it's just expensive and requires additional fuel.

It sometimes requires "reburning" the combustion exhaust at higher temperatures. But combustion can eventually break down the majority of molecules into something safe. And then if things still need to be removed from the exhaust, you can use processes similar to the catalytic converter in your car, but again, not cheap.

We may need to find an actual solution to all that plastic.

But I'm hearing innovative new ideas in that field. One researcher has proposed an interesting solution, it's called "aluminum cans" it sounds crazy, and who knows if it could possibly work at scale, but it's a neat idea.

I can't really blame the studio though, I mean the publisher went bust. The game was coming along slowly, but it was definitely coming along, and I really liked what I was seeing.

I just wish Private Division wasn't such a mess. It's all just so disappointing.

You can't tweet without a computer. It may be a mobile one, but even that is a computer. This is a stupid claim which could only fool an idiot.

So depending on the judge, we'll just see what happens...

But they can't just buy that new car every year anymore.

Yeah, they might try regular maintenance instead...

Over the next 5 years I don't see anything positive in tech and I see myself largely disconnecting from it.

Ironically I'm optimistic about the next 50 years, just I don't see anything good happening right now.

You mean besides masturbate?

Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
