If you read up on the history of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, you'll find our plastics really aren't recyclable (much).

And your home recycling is a feel-good measure.

If you want to make a difference, start with verifying exactly what your city/county/state do with "recyclables", and follow that with looking into the recyclability of different plastics and how much each is produced.

It's eye opening.

My dentists visits improved dramatically after getting a sonicaire

It really depends anymore...it can be a tough call.

I grew up using only quality tools, because cheap tools were truly shit until perhaps the 90's, at the earliest.

HF tools used to be utter shit, but their "branded" tools are good these days. The wrenches and sockets are as good a Craftsman used to be, and equal to the store brands from Home Depot and Lowes. And overpriced Matco/Snap On can kiss my ass. I have some of their tools, they're nice, but not worth the price.

Their branded cordless tools are good too. One thing they do differently is put the battery controller in the tool, while Milwaukee puts one in the battery. So don't do anything foolish with the battery.

I don't think they're as durable as Milwaukee, the plastic seems harder, so more prone to cracking. And the warranty isn't very long.

But with the massive cost difference, it's a good place to start.

It varies a LOT regionally.

Look for a venue in Maryland, you know, with DC right there.

I have a friend who's entire wedding was the same price as a venue in Maryland.

Agreed.

No audit...then we don't know.

Have you seen an audit for SwissCows' Teleguard?

I've been testing it for a few days now, after a comment about it here.

They claim to not store your chats, they're deleted after delivery. To sync a new device requires an encrypted backup from an existing device.

I've tested this by restoring a backup from yesterday to sync a new device, and it only has data from yesterday.

That said, I really don't know how trustworthy they are.

I've used it, on Windows

Oh my sweet summer child.

Wait till you wakeup one day and can barely walk, for no apparent reason.

Or you have an injury that doesn't want to heal, and docs are scratching their heads, but won't give you pain meds, or even steroids that you've seen help this issue in the past.

Or you get fired for nothing you've done.

Or the business you work for goes belly up.

Or a crazy person in your life threatens to kill you, so you have to be alert all the time.

Or you're in so much pain, constantly, that you can't even think.

Life is hard. Shit happens.

Do we really want to diagnose and medicate everyone with “deficits in rule-governed behavior”?

Yes.

Then all the plebians who go along don't have to think, and they get to feel good about themselves while condemning the non-compliant.

Well that's something.

I guess the apps need to add it then.

McDondals?

*scapegoat

I think autocorrect boned you there.

And I agree whole-heartedly.

At private colleges? Oh boy, is that dumb. Gonna be some expensive lawsuits.
