I complete get separating and targeting single use plastics and aluminium from general recycling bins - but this board seems incredibly biased to business: retailer and polluting producers - without clear strategy on circularity and removing plastics from system. Lack of bios on website is odd.

It was only a matter of time before the knives were out for Re-Turn, a project that puts the entire burden of waste management on the consumer and gives businesses no incentive to improve their packaging.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

The last Magdalene laundry closed in my lifetime. Homosexuality was decriminalised in Ireland in my lifetime. Access to condoms without a prescription in Ireland only came in 1985. We repealed the 8th. There's a lot of ways in which Ireland is still bad, but it is an entirely different country.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

The PSNI has confirmed that a man who was arrested during the Fleadh in Belfast was not carrying a knife. A number of inaccurate posts on social media had wrongly claimed that the man was in possession of a knife. The PSNI has urged the public “not to speculate online". jrnl.ie/7121799

Leaving all morality aside, this for me is the core problem with SpaceX's business plans: they are reliant on continued exponential growth that would be difficult at the best of times, but which really run into the problem of how many governments will not want key infrastructure run by Musk.

Private space agencies are such a joke, and SpaceX is truly vile. Raking in billions of government funding and stock value to rain debris down on people and fill our night sky with garbage. NASA put men on the moon after only a decade. Elon's had twice that and just blows shit up on taxpayer funds.
