drunkpostdisaster , in Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle

He needs to be tried as a war criminal

AnarchoSnowPlow , in World history assignment about Earth's creation, Christianity frustrates parents of Oklahoma high school

Lots of really interesting things going on here.

The one that sticks out to me is “illegally obtaining $20,000 from Taco Bueno”

“History” teacher/Taco Bueno embezzler?

Rakonat , in ‘Evangelicals For Harris’ Drops Brutal Ad Questioning If Trump is a ‘False Prophet’

On the one hand I really don’t want their support or misguided views and priorities distracting or pushing Harris off course.

On the other hand fracturing a significant slice of the conservative base into not voting or voting against Trump would be delicious, especially if it meant more congressional and state seats to go blue because of it.

On the assignment sheet, students were asked to answer the overall research question about how the world began. Students were also asked to ponder the following questions:

  • How did the world start?
  • Who started it?
  • When did evil start or did it always exist?
  • Are people inherently good or evil or neither?
  • What is morality?
  • What is religion?
  • What is Christianity?
  • What does it mean to be a Christian?
  • Is God real?
  • Is Satan real?

Exactly one of those bullet points has anything to do with history, and a second is barely relevant

This teacher isn’t just proselytizing and forcing religious instruction; but is horrible at their job.

Is Texas the first and only state to do this?

AI_toothbrush , in Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle

Hmm i live 1000 miles from work, which do i do: literally use technology that works at the speed of light(internet) or burn a shitton of fuel and propel myself at high speeds towards the building where i work. I think the answer is obvious.

praise_idleness , in 'Let's Go!' Top Economist Applauds as Harris Signals Support for Billionaires Tax

Believe it or not, Taxation is a field of study on its own, with countless people spending their whole life studying it. I wonder how this is going to actually work out legally.

There was an article a while a go where someone looked into how the bible describes the anti-christ and while they initially did it just for fun, it became a bit more eerie, when Trump started hitting checkbox after checkbox after checkbox, leaving out pretty much none of them…

We have some in Cambodia made from cassava.

vudu , in Startup Replaces 6 Million Plastic Bags with Prototype Made from Corn Waste That Decomposes in 180 Days - Good News Network

An Indian entrepreneur is using sugar, cellulose, and corn fibers to make a plastic-like carrier bag for small Indian businesses.

His company Bio Reform has already replaced 6 million plastic bags in the checkout counters of stores all over India.

Based in Hyderabad, Mohammed Azhar Mohiuddin first got the idea during the general mayhem that arose during the pandemic. Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one his entrepreneurial spirit had the capacity to tackle.

Nice! With the best will in the world I always forget my standard shopping bags and I feel that the “bags for life” just replace one thin and crap lump of plastic for an overly engineered one.

ABCDE ,

How are they over-engineered? They last much longer. Canvas ones forever, pretty much.

_pete_ ,

The plastic ones (here in the UK at least) also split and fall apart, they’re better than the “standard” ones but they don’t usually last that much longer.

Also I have a million of them because I always forget to bring them.

massive_bereavement ,

I have both opinions: certain canvas bags will last you a lifetime and even you can fix them if necessary.
Most stores sell you "bags for life" that aren't either recyclable (truly) nor meant to last a year of daily usage, probably because they are cheaping out on the materials and production.

So we still end with a pile of garbage.

However, I am against single-use anything and would say that promoting truly lasting bags should be a priority over trying to figure out a solution for a single facet of a large issue.

TrashWizard ,

I feel like the thicker ‘bags for life’ are a bit of a false economy. I could be remembering wrong but with those, you need to use them something like either 12 or 20 times for them to work out as being less harmful than the old disposable plastic bags.

I try to avoid using them where possible but where I can, but when I have, I can’t say I’ve been able to use them more than 5 or 6 times on average.

ABCDE ,

I remember using them a lot (I’m from the UK) and they were much stronger, could hold more, and would last ages if you didn’t strain them.

webghost0101 ,

Buy some actual good bags and store them in your car.

I’m sorry for the naivety, maybe there is something cool I’m not catching.

Haven’t we had biodegradable, compostable “plastic” shopping bags for like 20 years now? What’s the news here?
