There's some beauty on it. Nature incorporates our garbage, and it becomes part of nature.

It might kill us, but then new creatures will evolve and grow, with plastic being part of their ecosystem, perhaps even desirable. In million years the future civilization of these creatures might have "plastic preservation programs" because the old plastic rocks are a finite resource upon witch their culture was built.

They might even gaze upon their plastic-filled oceans in awe, with some quasi-religious gratitude for the ancient race that gracefully filled the world with plastic that they might thrive.

who's to say if the ecological impact of plastics is good or bad? we will simply never know.

at my school the racecar team would get permission to run the car in the street around the engineering building a couple times a year and it was always cool to see that thing tearing rear end through campus

also after a big football win the students took down the goalposts and carried them to the racecar team workshop, where they cut the posts into rounds with hacksaws. my roommate ended up with a piece

apparently this is a problem





but not for me




the correct response would be to yawn at the aggrieved parties and say “i told you so”

i however, will go rummaging around the 2 week old backup that i will not admit exists to anyone involved. maybe after my nap.

cjs: My AD password expired two days ago and it's been a neverending process of convincing people to give me a temporary password because I can't remote in to change it when it's already expired, asking them to clear the "user must change password" flag so I can actually remote in, and now bullying them into believing me that I'm following the stated complexity rules and my new passwords are still being rejected.

The latest suggestions were to either come to the office to change them (haha no) or call them and read my new password to them over the phone so they can set it for me (HAHA NO).
