am i correct in thinking that pretty much everything is potentially recyclable, its just that the cost/benefit and current infrastructure makes it impractical, so we chuck certain things in landfills

The ethos of reduce > reuse > recycle kinda prioritises how we should look at things.

Recycling for a lot of materials is more energy intensive than simply extracting raw new material, some things simply can't be recycled due to deterioration and some things simply can't be recycled due to the way they are made or mixed.

Think of pizza boxes, you absolutely shouldn't put them in the recycling bin as the grease will result in entire batches of recycled pulp being useless on the otherside. But not many people know that.

Depending on the council they're either removed at the recycling centre and sent to landfill/incineration/etc, or they cut out the greasy bit (it's almost certainly the former because money)

I also enjoy pizza, but the £4 (on offer) White Rabbit vegan pizza I tried the other week was the blandest thing in history and I have decided to just make my own when can be arsed.

It's like the tomato sauce they used had been watered down the same way your nan turns Ribena into water

Do any vegan pizzas have the textures nailed yet?

I would like someone to figure out how to make one of those lovely pizza ovens work indoors. Apparently at the moment they might accidentally burn up all the oxygen or something and murder you without you knowing

Without going all UKMT here, you are right Bobby, if we invested properly now in recycling infrastructure and education then yeah, we'd be helping to sustain our future impact, securing raw materials and reducing our reliance on sending stuff to landfill, incineration or developing nations so they can enjoy our filth instead.

Computer bits, particularly GPUs and CPUs, are hot right now due to low supply and very high demand.

If you have spare bits, ebay them for ££££.

A Ryzen 3600 last year brand new was £160.

They're going, used, for just shy of £200 now on ebay.

GPUs even more so.

Can confirm. I sold a pair of 1080s (not even Ti) plus a bridge on eBay for £740. One was new at release, but the other was bought a year or so ago for £295 and the bridge for £27 so those went for more than I paid.

Between bitcoiners and scalpers it's a good time to sell.

Ratty explained it but here is something from the construction perspective:

You can recycle existing asphalt roads (I want to call it a pavement but iirc a pavement is not pavement but a sidewalk in here idk, the black hard surface you drive cars on it) with an efficiency of 10% to 30%. Meaning that the oxidized and hardened asphalt requires additional virgin bitumen+aggregate mixtures due to the breakdown of "soft" compounds that give the asphalt elasticity.

This is not necessarily an investment/returns problem at this point. It makes perfect sense for everyone if it was possible to utilize 100% of the RAP (recycled asphalt pavement) with losses due to the recycling procedures and it would be still an amazing environmental and monetary win. Cue the nerds (including me) working on alternative ways to increase the percentage of usable material in RAP. There are chemical compounds called "rejuvenators" that push the effectiveness of recycling and re-using effectiveness. It's not massive in numbers like 4% to 7% in some cases but if you apply that to country-wide it makes a huge difference.

The calculations on "carbon neutral/zero/negative" usually involves compensation for unavoidable processes. You have to balance the impact of making the rejuvenators vs the amount of recovery they provide. More research brings better and less carbon-intensive procedures.

There was a nice group of people I met in Birmingham who have an aggregate product that has negative carbon emission. They solidify industrial waste with carbon dioxide treatment which literally removes carbon from the atmosphere when calculated but not necessarily during the production phase if that makes any sense. The aggregate sales for a good price and they make a good business out of it but it is, due to technical limitations, not suitable for certain types of asphalt (Stone Mastic Asphalt requires much high performing aggregates) yet, which prevents it from becoming more popular. Germany, Netherlands, France and Murican's have good research on this subject as well. Imperial College has a neat Master's Degree under Civil engineering covering these subjects which I want to apply but lmao international fees (32k a year, yikeseroo).

Research takes time and money, as well as people that desire to be doing something that will bore the bollocks out of people during dates :v:

Apparently RH and other apps let you buy now when it is up 40% and not during the 190 dip lmao. People who don't have aftermarket / regular broker access look at all the gainz they can't have while hedge funds become rich overnight again, from what I gather.
