In our estimations of what will be served … we believe we will attain this 50 percent plastic single-use plastic reduction," said Grenon.

The bottles poured into cups would not count towards this target, she added.

Everybody loves a good KPI.

I was reluctant to watch because Jordan Petersen. Hence my admittedly uninformed comment. :)

I was confused why anyone would attempt to convince this shill. But scrolling through the timeline, I see it’s apparently a mistitled debunking video. Which is fair.

I didn’t realize but it makes sense. But even that is solved with different, often chlorine-free gels elsewhere.

Thick Bleach

A couple of years ago, I’m sure I’ve seen a map of places in Europe that use bleach vs. less strong cleaning products for mopping floors etc. Does anyone have it?

(France, Spain, UK are definitely bleach Europe.)

These trams are so pretty. We used to have a version of them here too. Unfortunately, they’re not accessible, so they were removed from service throughout the the 2000s & 2010s.

don’t be so flippant, pal.

If you’re ever in the EU, you might find this brand:

Can’t vouch for them though, I have never tried them. But as you can see, there’s a spicy variant (piri piri) too.

Thanks @ryandrake from HN:

Best I can interpret is it’s two separate products: One is a virtual person for “creators” to generate: it impersonates them, writes messages to fans on their behalf, and tricks their “audience” into believing it’s the real thing, and the second is a virtual friend that you can create and then have a parasocial relationship with.

Merz plädierte dafür, im Bundeshaushalt neue Prioritäten zu setzen. “Wir machen in diesem Jahr 50 Milliarden Euro neue Schulden im Bund, im nächsten Jahr 40 Milliarden - und das mit Schuldenbremse.” Das werde so nicht weitergehen. “Wir werden an anderer Stelle einsparen müssen,” sagte der CDU-Chef.

Super, endlich wird das Deutschlandticket abgeschafft. :(

Damit das reduzierte Angebot von der Bahn wieder zuverlässig erbracht werden könne. “Die Bahn ist strukturell überfordert.”

Ich halte auch Merz mit seinen Wutanfällen für strukturell überfordert.
