    Reddit, HN ... I generally avoid them and sites like them.

    The pager 📟 is green on that earthquake, meaning that expected fatalities ( <10 ) and economic losses ( <USD$1M ) are relatively small.

    I think we'll have to go back to glass bottles in the next few years. Firstly, way too few plastic bottles are actually reprocessed and reused. Secondly, various plastics leach chemicals into the bottle's contents.

    I'm sure stores are not looking forward to collecting glass bottles for return to the responsible beverage companies. It was a pain in the 1970s, before the switch to plastic.

    Also, with glass, there's a relatively large number of bottles that get broken and skip the reuse / recycle pathways.

    RE: https://nu.federati.net/notice/3402037

    If you like Popeye's fried chicken (the "spicy" version), you should try to visit Baton Rouge at least once. The gas station is across the street from the Greyhound bus station and it has the best tasting fried chicken that I've found.

    Like most food in #Louisiana, it is salty. In this case, though, it isn't so salty that your mouth tingles or anything like that. You definitely do not want to make it your daily lunch or anything like that.

    I don't currently have any specific plans to visit #Baton_Rouge, but I would like to go spend a week or so in Louisiana, including a day or two in #New_Orleans.

      I wanted fried chicken all day, so I walked to Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen and got their imitation of the #Baton_Rouge gas station's chicken.

    And you still want your cheap solar panels and battery storage technology made from slave labour in China? The western energy transition via #renewables rests on #ecocolonialism, it externalises the environmental and human costs on the Global South.
