When it comes to genocide Israel learned from the best. This is absolutely sickening on so many levels.

Didn't Israel already have a "deal" with Hamas? They broke it!

Yup, I was able to understand and visualize all of it. The only thing I didn't know was what "Michaelmas" was, but I determined its salient meaning well enough from context (it's a Christian festival celebrated on September 29, which is redundant information with the immediately following reference to "implacable November weather" which sets the approximate time of year just as well).

The passage can be summarized into two fundamental points of information:

• The weather on this particular day in London was typical.
• Charles Dickens was paid by the word.

It's like your country is wearing a fancy hat. The hat is not practical, it doesn't help you do things, but boy does it look neat. It's not all that expensive, so why not? Lots of countries have big monuments, historic buildings for their legislatures to be in and so forth, this is just that in human form.

When your standard is "perfection" then nothing at all will ever meet it.

Your standard of acceptability is "perfect", then?

Again, a properly built landfill doesn't have that problem. I specified that right from the start. They're designed to manage leachate.

It was an open source game with open source mods. It wouldn't have made sense to have private repos.

I did a little Googling and Microsoft denies using private repositories for training. Do you have a source?

Seems to be from some short stories and poems that have been published over the years.

Different rainbow bridge with a different afterlife on the other end. I hope the signage is clear. I can only imagine a couple of very confused Vikings are wandering around, perhaps disappointed there's no big battles to participate in but on the plus side having tons of dogs that are happy to see them there. And conversely, a couple of good bois running around Odin's hall having fun with all the commotion and feasting and whatnot going on there.

If the plastic is not degrading then it's not releasing anything, be it methane or CO2.

Isn't one of the big talking points against plastic the "it'll be around for thousands of years" thing?

Yeah. It's not like rich people will have trouble accessing their favourite flavors of pornography regardless of the laws.

"Never intended" doesn't mean it doesn't work as one.

The point I'm making here is that if we already have a chunk of plastic, why not bury it? Your own comment that I originally responded to was about how the composting process for these bioplastics is difficult to do and so people rarely do it. Landfills are comparatively quite easy and common, we already have that process well established. So if you've got a chunk of carbon-rich plastic right there in your hand and you're trying to decide what to do with it, which makes more sense, turning it into CO2 to vent into the atmosphere, or sequestering it effectively forever? There are carbon sequestration projects that go to much greater lengths to bury carbon underground than this.

CO2 is CO2, it doesn't matter where the carbon came from. If you're sequestering plastics that were made from plants then you're taking it out of the atmosphere for a net benefit.
