recycling is last on the list of reduce, reuse, recycle. also recycling plastic often just isn't effective. the better approach is to make things out of inoffensive materials into products that you can reuse.

first of all you need to sort plastics properly (and there are dozens of types you'll commonly encounter), and then you need to make sure to sort out all the plastics that are bonded or laminated to anything else. you can't really separate those kinds of plastics from their partner materials properly on an industrial scale, as in there's like one factory that can properly recycle tetrapaks into recycled material in the world for example. every other waste management facility either incinerates the plastic or adds them to a landfill. recycled plastic is in the single digit % of all plastic products.

due to the expensive recycling process it's almost always cheaper to use fresh new plastic instead of recycled material. not to mention that when recycled plastic is contaminated with different plastics eventually its usability as a material decreases.

wow that answer is very easy, I didn't consider a drone at all. thank you.

wow these replies are landmines so i will just be confused about how you even get a picture from that angle. the place doesn't look urban or like it would have any high-rises, and the USA (assuming this is it) also doesn't really do tall parking garages. and it very much looks like the photo was taken from outside.

no, bazzite. nice joke though.

reading is great. i don't know how to put it, but if you compare the dune novel and the new dennis villeneuve movies you'll see major differences, and in my opinion to the detriment of the movies. the dune novel is very focused on character's thoughts and ideas. those thoughts and ideas can't really easily be expressed in a movie, not with explicit verbalization (because the novel's audiobook is 24 hours long) and not with best-effort facial expressions either. in dune's case the movie is also very interested in spectacle and explosions and murder and visual drama, and while the novel is of course also very dramatic it's a very different kind of dramatic. frank herbert's novel is very interested in the world and its mechanics and its citizens in a way the movies don't want to or can't be.

there are definitely accessibility issues with some novels, and some novels that have critical acclaim only really become interesting with a lot of prior reading, but i do really like it. in my case i also take public transit daily, and it's great to be able to just whip out an ereader and read something for twenty minutes.

and if you're fed up with streaming services offering a worse selection of movies and tv shows every year, or with seemingly the general state of movies and tv worsening every year, novels don't really have that issue. there are definitely still differences in quality, but you can read top 100 series in whatever genre you like for decades, and by the time you're done you'll find there are another twenty or more new series in that list. personal recommendations are also more interesting, because there are just so many novels to discover. someone whose reading opinion you might appreciate may have read hundreds of completely different novels than you. with movies and tv you probably won't get recommendations for anything you weren't really aware of before.

the layout of the text is intentionally very blocky, and it looks correctly blocky this way

not saying it's healthy, just that it can have good effects
