Yeah. There’ll probably be a long period before plastic can be biodegraded, like it happened for wool/cellulose in pre-historic periods.
At some point, a mushroom will learn how to use it efficiently and then it will all be degraded.
We will be long gone by then.
I agree regarding closet, but I believe most people have a skeleton inside their meatbag.
I don’t know, I didn’t read the article. I try to make as little assumptions as I can… It could just add easily be a native that trained in the UK, but then i suppose it would have been mentioned.
Which language do you think the government should use/expect from it’s employes in HK?
If the local language is Cantonese, but the government is forcing to use Mandarin in law and other official businesses, to me it sounds the same as forcing Ukrainians to speak Russian (in the old USSR), Catalans to speak Spanish, and French Canadian to speak English. It’s soft cultural assimilation.
I don’t know much about the local language usage in HK, so i could be wrong though.
That was not an article, it was just a list of overreactions by right-wing personalities.
I think it’s set up this way so buyers can’t get back to Sony to ask for a free replacement if the media can’t be used anymore.
Let’s say you buy a disk that contains a movie. You din’t buy the right to watch that movie forever, because if the disk breaks, you need to buy a new copy.
However, we could argue that this is just a symptom of a short industry… If my backpack breaks, even after 10 years, the company will replace it free of charge!
It’s a trick to start creating a water market. It will slowly and subtly grow until any drinkable water that doesn’t taste like shit will be considered “fine water”.
Then, you’ll get capitalists assholes saying that anything better than shit water should not be considered a right…
You’ll get there only to find a bottle of Canadian whisky and some Danish vikings drinking it…
“No true homeless…”
Yeah, I suppose my second sentence is somewhat diminitive… The article itself is more of a “dossier” than a single article, and gatekeeping discussions only for those who read the full article(s) kind of discourages discussions on the topic.
The first thing I wanted to convey is that they’re trying to redefine something that already exists. Today I learned that “atheism” has such a loaded baggage to you and the article’s authors that they’re is a need for a new word!
Too me, that is quite the revelation: everything I read in the article is exactly what I understand to be “atheism”! I’ve known that in some places on the world, it can be worst to be atheist than to be of the “wrong” religion… I hope using “the none phenomena” will help these people be safer…
They’re taking about atheists. That’s it.
Edit: Basically, this is a click-bait title where they intentionally keep the title’s meaning mysterious, like it’s a new viral trend or something dangerous. They define:
These so-called “nones" — atheists, agnostics, or nothing in particular —
When the completed manuscript exceeded 600,000 words, Cerf asked Rand to make cuts, but backed off when she compared the idea to cutting the Bible.
Wow, I didn’t know this author, and it seems I wasn’t missing much.
It’s been many years since I was invited with particle physics, so it’s a bit muddled in my memory… i could be wrong on the details here. It could be the CP symmetry instead of the CPT symmetry.
It’s not that positrons go back in time, but more like “if an electron went backwards in time, it would look exactly like a position”. The Feynman diagram of an electron and position annihilaton is the same as that of an electron bouncing on photons, expect the angle is rotated such that the electron bounces backwards in time.

Antimatter is not just matter with an opposite charge. It’s matter with every type of charges (electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear charges) inverted, as well as the “parity”, that is the relative direction of its spin compared to its propagation direction, are all inverted.
If you look for “CPT symmetry”, you’ll find better explanations than this.
It basically boils down to this: invert the flow of time, and every particle will look like antimatter, while antimatter will look like normal matter.
It would have been very likely that antimatter moved backwards in gravity of it was normal matter moving backwards in time!
It has a positive mass, and in every other way it acts just like normal matter going backwards in time (cpt inversion).
If, despite its positive mass, it was pushed back by gravity, then it would have given even more weight to the theory that antimatter is just matter moving backwards.
Since gravity is such a wonky interaction, I’m not even sure this result disproves the time-reversal theory entirely!
“sacred duty” ha!
Best excuse to commit atrocities throughout history!
That would explain long COVID!
Akureyri is an awesome city. You should visit it!
