Every book report in high school where I could choose the author was a Stephen King novel and I turned out fine. And in Florida too. Class of 1991. 😁. BRD.
Welp, then according to their plan, you didn’t turn out fine, you’re the problem. Good for you though, I’m hoping your state turns it around quickly because I really want to live there. It’s beautiful and I love the weather there, I just can’t deal with the bullshit they’re doing.
It’s not cheap. I left in 2005 because the insurance cost kept doubling every year despite never having a claim and I was 30 miles inland. And the deductibles would increase too. t’s worse now. Just do your homework first.
The image is a flyer for a “Banned Books Club” (Bokklubb för förbjudna böcker) targeted at young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in Bromölla, Sweden. It invites readers to explore the topic of banned books, asking questions like “Which books are banned, where are they banned, and why?” The club aims to discuss these books during the fall and winter, and the first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 19, from 3 to 4 p.m. at the library (biblioteket).
The flyer has a “STOP” sign, a warning label at the bottom, and a bird illustration. It encourages participants to sign up via email and features logos for Kulturpunkten and Bromölla Municipality.
Plastics are only plastics when many separate (often gaseous) molecules called monomers form large chains or webs called polymers. If you vaporize a polymer, it gets reverted to being many monomers
These specific monomers can be found in nature, and they are widely used in industrial applications beyond making plastics, for example they can fuel welding torches.
The monomer of PE is the gas ethylene, which is a plant hormone among other things, and if you combine it with hydrogen from water it makes ethanol, which is the kind of alcohol that is only mildly poisonous so we drink it. It’s the easiest way to get alcohol without fermentation, so we use it in industry. So I guess mostly it is.
Propylene, which is the monomer of polypropylene, is a gas that’s toxic in large concentrations, apparently it’s what makes forest fires poisonous, but it’s fine to have a little bit in the air, and it’s at least not carcinogenic.
The problem with plastics is not that they are toxic, it’s that we make too much and litter in everywhere, including our own body.
In before:
Putin will first scream his head off and declare this is an escalation.
Then when he sees we do it anyway, he will claim it changes NOTHING!! We will destroy any weapons the west supply.
Then he will try to get more junk from North Korea and Iran, and send thousands more Russians to their death in Ukraine.
It’s astounding how a bad final season managed to obliterate GoT from the cultural zeitgeist. It was an absolute juggernaut, and while House of Dragons or whatever it is is successful, it’ll never be the massive fixture that GoT was.
I rewatched GoT a few weeks back. Got to the final episode and didn’t recognize one bit of it. Then I remembered I refused to watch it when it came out. Figured I’d be happier remembering the series as the beauty it was. ;)
It’s a real shame. While the later seasons are weaker, they’re not nearly enough to kill what is still a fantastic show. But that last season? Seven hells.
7 was incredibly mediocre, but a mediocre end wouldn’t have killed its cultural influence. Lots of shows have mediocre ends. 8 was pure trash, though. Not even any effort put into it by the showrunners. I feel terrible for everyone involved in actually making the goddamn show.
Friedman argues the US should support Israel’s annexation “based first and foremost on biblical prophecies and values”, saying that such a policy “hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity”.
