Coming at this from more of a common sense angle, I was always told oil doesn’t go down the sink. For most people, it ends up in the normal rubbish.
Putting oil in the normal rubbish seems like it would have basically no issues at all. I think it would either be incinerated or end up in a landfill. If the energy from burning rubbish is being harvested (it might not be) then I would think the oil would help and that could be a useful way to recycle it.
If it ends up in a landfill, I don’t see any problem with a bit of oil being buried with other junk. A lot of people seem to be saying they would bury it anyway.
The only real concern would be if you have a lot of oil and you’re worried about your bin leaking or something. If you put most oil immediately into the bin then this shouldn’t really be an issue.
Of course if you just have a few little drops of oil in with a bunch of water then you would probably pour that in the sink anyway and it would most likely be fine.
Collecting stuff in a bucket, making soap or using it for something else seems like a lot of hassle to mitigate quite minor concerns. Most people don’t have a serious use for a bucket of used cooking oil.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong about any of this.
What stupidity you must have to choose any other than the glockatoo. All the rest of them are ground dwelling or water critters. What if I want my Lil dude to fly up in the sky to shoot God?
The exact dimensions of an 80-pound stainless steel block would depend on its specific shape. However, we can estimate its size based on the density of stainless steel, which is around 490 lbs per cubic foot (lb/ft³). To find the volume of the block, we can divide its weight (80 lbs) by its density (490 lb/ft³):
Since we don’t have a specific shape for the block, let’s assume it’s a cube for simplicity. To calculate the side length of a cube with a volume of 0.16 ft³, we can take the cube root of the volume:
Side length = ³√Volume.
Side length = ³√0.16 ft³.
Side length ≈ 0.54 ft (or about 6.5 inches).
Therefore, an 80-pound stainless steel block shaped like a cube would have sides measuring around 6.5 inches each.
Edit: Sorry. That makes sense, I just was thinking about that tiny heavy cube you can buy that’s like the densest cube of metal and I wanted to get the math done because it was ENTIRELY too big in the photo in my estimation, and why would it be hollow? To take up more space sure but it would dent and be so much harder to produce but I GUESS I get it. UGH
Didn’t feel like doing the math for a hollow one myself so I asked bing to do it for me assuming it was about 10 inches in diameter (that’s what I guessed from the photo because it looked to be approximately as wide as one burner(?) it’d be 72% hollow
This reminds me.the first time I went to NY. I was young and didn’t understand why americans were “more captalist” than us since we also had industries and stores… then I went into the M&Ms store and all made sense
