This show wrecked me at a particularly vulnerable period of my life

Well this is interesting.
I worked for 7 years at a Swedish company who built granulators, Rapid Granulator AB. I worked stateside though as the only electrical technician.
From what I could glean about the machinery we built and sold, they would say that the only viable way to recycle plastic is as it was being manufactured. So say you're a facotry making hundreds of garbage cans a day. All the rejects (wrong chemical makeup, big bulge from the molding process, etc) would go into a granulator for "recycling". The granulator grinds it down into small pellets which are then used at the beginning of the line.
From what I remember, customers were very very picky about what could be used after granulation. A little bit of the wrong color of dye would ruin a whole batch for instance. I'm curious to see exactly how this site zero plans to recycle waste products coming from the general population, on an engineering / technical level..
This, of course, is also dancing around the fact that it's a bit of an open secret that most places in America do not recycle. And I'm talking systemically, not on an individual level. In my county I know that all recycling goes to the exact same landfill as all the trash. It's a bit hard to feel hopeful when the USA sends 242 million pounds of plastic straight to the ocean every year. I felt a little better about it when China would sort through and recycle our plastics.
I haven't seen an ad on any of my devices in like 4+ years, nor have I paid for any monthly subscriptions.
Say what you'd like about Google and Android, I'm not exactly singing their praises or anything, but I don't think that's possible with Apple.
Most American lawsuit in the world lol
I've eaten the whopper like thrice ever and it is a massive burger
The original wooden joists are all massive and old growth lumber, solid as a rock. My floors are held up by like 2x18's going across, and actually to those measurements not how a 2x4 is a 1.5x3.5 or whatever anymore. They're locked into what I can only call solid beams of wood on top of my foundation. That beam is no joke like a 16x16 or something.
Walls are all lath and plaster. removed to work on later, I was literally carving into some solid wood behind the lath to put an electrical box in the only spot it could work for a lightswitch.
My siding is all asbestos. Honestly I love it and never wanna change it. It's super durable and holds paint forever.
What's really unique to the house is there's hand carved beautiful craftsmanship under the roof awning and porch roof. And it's basically a story underground because it's at the bottom of a mountainside so it's surrounded by these massive story-tall retaining walls. And in one of the heavily wooded greenway parts of the city, so the first story where my partner and I's bedroom is is naturally cool thanks to all the trees and being underground. I can see the river from my front stoop and the house isn't even technically on a street, only way to access it is through a lot my neighbor owns or a trail / city steps through the woods.
I could talk forever about my house but I treasure it and we know we'll never move again
I did it on my own when I was 27 but only because I live in one of the cheapest rust belt cities in the US (Pittsburgh). I make OK money as an electrical controls technician in a factory. Hard to believe I pulled it off making like $20/hr a few years ago but when covid hit and interest rates were rock bottom that massively helped. 3% rate on a $160k house, 1800 sq ft 4BR home, built in 1890. Currently doing some major remodeling, and now I'm making much better money at a different job anyway
In the summer? I have no AC at my house but it doesn't usually go above 77 - 80 on it's own. It's in a unique part of the city where we're surrounded by the woods and trees which provide a lot of shade and cool the air. Also the house is built into the side of a mountain and surrounded by massive retaining walls, so the first floor is basically a story underground. Our bedroom is also on the first floor, so I don't really go upstairs except to do laundry.
In the winter, usually about 64 - 67. It goes down to 60 during the day on a schedule or whatever.
I'm running a couple dozen docker containers on unraid and I only have one NVME cache disk, it's 256 GB. I have only have 76 GB filled on my cache disk, the majority being attributed to Plex with things like movie trailers, temporary storage for torrenting, etc.
Just wanted to give you a heads up that 1 TB and a 2 TB NVME drives may be a bit overkill unlesa you're trying to host a lot of VM's
Sooo jailbroken PS5 soon?
