I think a lot of produce uses some PVC material for labels.

I once laser engraved "help I'm a banana" on a banana.

Death to non-compostable produce stickers. If lasers are what it takes, I'm all for it (not sure if that's really what's going on here though).

If it can replace the not-always-compostable stickers, I think it's likely a good tradeoff.

If it saves on waste, I say go for it


I hate removing those stupid stickers before throwing them in the compost.

Bananas take really well to laser engraving.

Is there a commonly accepted reason why Microsoft makes these big releases so different?

AFAIK macOS has relatively minor changes, in terms of UI/UX, from release to release (look at screenshots of the original OS X vs. the current macOS version). And Linux is entirely dependent on distro, but for me it's just "has i3wm changed drastically? No? Great!"

My guess is that Windows just does it because they need folks to upgrade, and that's the only tool they have to force people's hands...

Sure, but Chevy was essentially forced by public opinion to continue making the Bolt EV, which is an affordable and well-liked little car.

But this isn't entirely stupid. Many Americans have very limited vacation time; weekend getaways are the norm, and are optimized for. This means that for a lot of folks, skiing on a weekend (or even worse, a long weekend) means that lots of other people are doing the exact same thing.

Specifically, I'm in San Francisco, so heading up to Tahoe for a weekend/long weekend is a standard thing to do. It's about 200 miles each way, so you're going to need to recharge. Which wouldn't be a problem except that everyone else is doing the exact same thing, on essentially the same schedule; this is a recipe for delays when the infrastructure is vastly inferior to the gas station network (and the charge time is obviously greater than the few minutes spent at the pump).

You might think that you could optimize for the daily trips and use rentals for getaways, but using chains on a rental car can be problematic/against TOS. Which can be a problem going up to a ski resort (AWD often ok, but not guaranteed).

I'm all for phasing out dinosaur burners, but the issue is not without nuance.

If they watch Formula 1, they probably know.

What do you put on potatoes? Ketchup. What color is ketchup? Red. What color are commies?

I rest my case.

IIRC there are vast differences between the states. My recollection is that there is a very strong red state/blue state correlation, which is absolutely shocking (/s, obviously).

Lots of games worked just fine on a 486...

Commander Keen and Lemmings should keep you busy for a few evenings at least.
