If I didn't burn it? If I wrapped it in wax paper and threw it in the garbage? Maybe it cuts through the bag and injures someone handling it. Maybe an animal gets into the trash the and dies after getting cut by it. Turns into super steel? What the fuck are you even saying? It would take a razor blade many months to rust away if left completely exposed, and again I'm trying very specifically to avoid doing that because the blades are dangerous. I'm having trouble fathoming how you could be this dense.

I literally don't have sharps disposal available to me. The rust will mix with the ash and become dispersed harmlessly into the soil. Look at an iron ore mine and you will see millions of tons of iron oxide, because that's how iron is usually found in nature.

I'm not suggesting burning all trash, I'm suggesting burning a miniscule amount of steel to avoid the risk it poses to human and animal life. It turns into iron oxide (RUST). The fire pit ring itself will have about 100x as much of it.

Why would I be joking? Razor blades will oxidize into nothing in a fire

You'd probably be shocked at the cost of a taxi medallion in NYC, it's more than the cost of flight training all the way up through commercial, and you'd have enough money left over to buy a plane.

Was the airplane a libertarian dream? A whole bunch of them crashed into reality before air travel developed into what it is today. They still crash, but less often enough that people accept the risk. If it were invented today, I'm not sure the concept would have survived people's handwringing.

The idea of flying car cities as a government initiative is dumb though.

I put all my used ones in a clear pill bottle. Plan is to burn them in the next campfire I have so that they never enter the waste stream.

It is at Aldi (and maybe Lidl?) but uncommon in general in the US

There is also the trifle that they'd need to be redesigned to place the driver controls on the left. And then of course nobody would buy them even if they were exempt from most of that, because they were made to do 25km/h through Japanese villages and are not well suited for American freeway use.

It's crickets when politicians propose giving billions of American taxpayer money and weapons to Israel, year after year. It has never been a better time to stop fucking doing that for good.

I don't know how I even survived bussing tables 8 hours a week at age 14 🙄

Really, a part time job and saving while still in high school made it a hell of a lot easier to start out on my own after.
