I thought the nuance of what I was saying would be recognized by communities like this.

Yes, technically it still exists in the environment. Nothing is ever made to not exist. What I meant was that it would no longer be able to be ingested by any creatures. This is after all where our petroleum deposits came from, millenia of plankton and other creatures dying and being covered up by other matter.

I'm confused as well. I thought the idea was that things that ate the plastic would then die and sink to the bottom of the ocean thereby taking it out of the environment.

I thought this fud had been debunked.

Are you accounting for the energy used to extract the oil, the energy used to transport it to a refinery, the energy used to refine it, the energy used to transport it to the gas station and then the energy used to pump into your car?

There is no way that the carbon needed to create a battery is more over the decades of life for said battery along with the renewable used to charge it, than the ongoing carbon released to keep ice engines running.

There is also a move to power battery facilities with renewables and when we reach a point where batteries are being recycled it gets even better.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We have to move past ice engines and right now ev is our best option.

I'd watch this reboot.

Setting aside the private ownership of land (I don't think we would differ as much as you think).

No there is no difference. The issue here is you focusing on the volcano part. It's a land mass like any other. The article didn't go into history of ownership but it's possible that it was passed down and likely from before the USA was a thing and well before Hawaii was part of the USA.

I can guess without looking that if I did a search for privately owned mountains I would find more than a few. Same goes for the aforementioned private islands that can be bought by anyone with enough cash/credit.

What about people owning lakes? If I took an acre of my land (yes, we are buying 3+acres) and turned it into a lake, would that seem odd to you? Would you want me to open my land up to anyone who wanted to visit, fish, etc? Or would that not be as absurd?

Do yourself a favor and ignore the volcano part, it will make much more sense.

How is that absurd? It's a landmass, people own land including entire islands. Inheriting a mass with a volcano on it doesn't seem any different from inheriting a farm.

That was a general answer. As others have said it breaks the motors in the camera and can do other damage. This isn't an apple thing, damage is done to any phones used with a motorcycle and from what I've heard the vibration dampening mounts don't eliminate the problem completely.

The vibrations fuck with the phone.

I lived there in the mid 90s and even more time when visiting my father who lived there.

This guy Ybors. Can confirm, grew up in Tampa and lived in Ybor for a couple of years. I remember when downtown Ybor started trying to be more family friendly. I also remember being able to tell when that coffee roaster burnt a batch, you could smell that from miles away.

Cuban sandwiches and cafe con leche.

Southpark has always mocked everyone. One of them even said in an interview years ago (paraphrasing here) that if they hadn't gotten to someone yet, let them know so they can rectify the oversight.

This is also why I like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. neither of them give a flying fuck and will call out bullshit even if it's someone who they agree with otherwise.

Apkmirror is the trusted source for this. You do you but apkmirror is the source for this, they have been around for as long as I can remember and I've never read anything about the apks being non genuine
