Doohickie Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Not sure how much people are aware, but storm chasing is big business. Some storm chasers have vehicles that are highly modified to withstand storm conditions. Today the area I live in was the highest risk area for hail in the country. It didn't come to pass but the storm chasers were out and about in the area. This one had a burger.... a couple miles west of my house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 So Spot Coffee put my protein shake in a disposable plastic cup with a disposable plastic lid...and gave me a paper straw.

The place is filled with people eating and drinking out of disposable containers...and we're worried about a straw?! The corner bar will give you a drink in a glass and a plastic stirrer and I think it's safe to say that's a lot more environmentally friendly than this situation.

I despise paper straws, they disintegrate in 45 seconds. I don't know how or why we drew the line at straws.

Whenever I walk my dog along the road I can’t believe how many things get thrown out of vehicles. There are garbage/recycling cans at your next stop.

One person snapped a photo of a coke-head sea turtle and that was all it took. It still blows my mind when I have to run to the grocery store when I'm back in NY and I see that they don't have bags anymore. That's another head scratcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell you a reusable one for $1? $2? $5? ...depending on whether it's just a heavier version of a standard plastic bag or a fabric tote bag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Dash's the other day and didn't have a bag with me. 15 cents for a paper bag. The grocers are loving this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like using a straw at all?😂 I don’t understand why people need straws in a restaurant. I mean, don’t people drink liquids all day every day at home without one? Do they get to a restaurant and forget how to do it all of a sudden? The only time anyone ever needs a straw is if they are in a car, imo.

Ogre Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I was reminiscing a bit this evening. Remembering a gig that I did in a gate house for a hydro turbine (on the river). The gate house filters debris before it gets to the turbine, including dead bodies. On the first day the facility rep met me at the door and unlocked it, then he said, “Let me know if you find a body.” They had found one a week earlier. Apparently the finder has to fill out paperwork. 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) I just saw a commercial for a service where you can get your dog genotyped. Seriously, america? Are we really this f’n stupid. But hey, there was a code to save $40. So that just means that this service costs a ***** load more than $40.
