That’s really neat, thanks for explaining!
OH, I get it. The pick up price is the purchase price. That’s pretty clever. Does that mean the trash collectors have to pick every bag up by hand and glance at the contents? How many categories of trash/bag are there?
Interesting! Does the curbside program bill you by weight as well? That sounds labor intensive, compared to here where you just rent the $small, $$medium or $$$large bin and pay quarterly regardless of use. And recycling and composting are free.
That is neat! But since it charges you to put things in, wouldn’t that encourage people to just throw their food in the trash? Or is that discouraged somehow?
The county I live in (Northern California) requires that household food waste go into the curbside compost bin, or home compost. They do random checks to make sure you haven’t put any food in the landfill bin and you can get a fine.
It gets turned into compost for landscaping, along with the yard waste, not food though.
John Scalzi’s got you covered:

Oh that. I’m fortunately sheltered enough (by choice and hard work) from the evil talking heads that this didn’t come to mind.
Hopefully the NGR will elbow that horrible woman out of first place for recognition of this name.
Is there a controversy about Nancy Grace Roman that I haven’t heard about? I’m very excited about this telescope and very excited that it’s named after her.
Well, this technique doesn’t harm the cane toads, except the few that are used as bait. It lets them live alongside the crocks without killing them, that’s kinda nice.
This is really neat.
Why is this little shit head continuing to make headlines? Are we that hard up for news? Jesus.
Nice photo though.
Yes but Michael Phelps took them all 😞
The DNC and RNC aren’t legally bound by the rules they made for themselves. There have been lawsuits in the last 8 years that have established that. They can both do what ever the fuck they want as long as they don’t piss off the really big donors.
That’s not how the bot works.
Yesterday during women’s volleyball (Czech Republic vs USA) an American announcer said “Czechoslov……. Czechia…” I haven’t heard anyone upset about it yet, but I was expecting to.
Definitely less offensive than being chatty about “ladies and their silly lady habits lololol!”
Presidents today have never made any gestures toward amending that bit in the 13 amendment that still allows for slavery with extra steps. Even the ones that won a Nobel peace prize.
I would take Camachomania over Trumpomania any day. Any. Fucking. Day.
Well that was upsetting.
Why all the downvotes? I guess “twilight zones” is a little click baity, but it’s just an article about the little understood geology of Earth’s lower mantle. It’s neat, I think.
