quote [ The Underground […]. Once you’re all in there, drinking beers, everyone gathers up the stuff you’re going to do sketchy shit with and you head out into the woods and do sketchy shit.
The Aboveground wants to do all the woods stuff, except you meet at Starbucks and post it on multiple forums and tweet about it using some stupid codeword and also you want a sign at Starbucks telling people the Sketchy Shit Club meets around 6pm every Friday. ] Bit aimless but interesting thoughts on tech responsibility.

quote [ “[The] toxicity of plastic actually increases with recycling. Plastics have no place in a circular economy and it’s clear that the only real solution to ending plastic pollution is to massively reduce plastic production.” ]
From what I heard, controlled burning at high tempereatures is probably most efficient in cracking down on chemical substances. Won't stop the next PFAS scandal though.
