Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!
Is paper better, or do they usually coat those in plastic anyway? I don't know exactly what they coat paper in to make it able to hold liquid. Plastic coatings on the paper cartons. Seriously though, most of the info about this plastic stuff is on known conspiracy theory and activist websites. So t...

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!
We were buying our 2% milk in gallon plastic containers but after reading about microplastics looked for a way out. We currently get home delivery of milk in glass bottles from Oberweis Dairy every Wednesday morning at around 4AM. We signed up for the delivery less than 2 months ago as we were tryi...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now
This is another reason why people need to get smarter and think for themselves, instead of jumping on whichever manipulative, divisive bandwagon echoes their own confirmation biases. But most people probably won't be willing or able to, because when getting all up in their emotions, the vast majori...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now
I mean, A.I. only know what they are programmed to know. Just a thought. IMO, this assumption won't be applicable once Humanity successfully develops a true AI (i.e. once AI achieves general intelligence). With the ability to think, learn and reason on its own, it isn't going to be confined to arbi...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now
Personally, I'm not liking the over-reliance on AI that many have nowadays. There is much about AI I don't feel comfortable about, but there's nothing I can do about it, so there's no point in me worrying about some doomsday scenario. Someone can spend an entire lifetime fearing the End Times; and ...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"
I don't go out of my way to watch my grammar and I will on occasion make up my own words. I never thought about the possibility of it bothering others. I don't intend on starting to worry now either. Not until someone is annoyed enough to start shooting in my direction. :) If grammar on a forum bot...

Re: Survive knives
Survive is a train wreck on Instagram. Plenty of claims made due to the steel and not his over pre-order. (And yes his pre-order price and timeline was way off the mark of being profitable or achievable without hiring staff) He doubled down blaming the steel which didn’t go down well. He was even o...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"
I never claimed to be a English Literature Scholar so I dunno. But then I don't point out others mistakes in grammar because it is pathetic and petty to do so. :eye-roll Some people need to get a life and look for other ways to inflate their ego. :eye-roll People are people and they do make mistakes...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
I was an "athlete" for the first half of my life. In the first 35 to 40 years of life I competed in a number of sports(bicycle racing, ice hockey, martial arts, raced sailboats, golf, tennis, ...), ran/jogged, weight lifted, and worked in construction for 10+ years. I cannot say my diet w...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
I've had a couple doctors tell me we are genetically programmed to have a certain lifetime. One guy stated a certain number of heartbeats. He explained it as why animals with higher heartbeats and metabolism have shorter lives and he said it's the same with us. There are certainly other factors suc...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
Some are missing that actual life expectancy often changes due to various things like disease, plagues, wars, etc. Even in modern times, (current) the range can have a 14 year difference in just social class due to various things like nutrition, access to proper medical care etc. The over all age re...

Re: Cold Steel Talk
I don't like the new ones either.
The old ones are classics.
And MUCH better than the new ones.
