Zudgemud posted:While the trash might be incinerated in both cases plastic waste can usually be burnt at a higher temperature which make it a good fuel for some industrial ovens. Cement making is one case i think. So there can be be a use in sorting plastic even if it all goes up in flames in the end. its probably a better use than loving dumping it in the oceans.

samantonio posted:Not gonna lie fellas, this past couple months has been hard. Lost two jobs back to back, stuck in a place I cannot afford with my dad who is ailing and SSI and combined cannot afford the cost of the suburbian 3bd we're in. We're very close to being homeless and I've been getting slammed by potential businesses because I have a felony. If I can pull myself out of this by researching reddit and putting a tiny bit of what I was able to save back on a drat meme stonk and betting against a system that is bleeding me and others like me dry it's going to be lolz for months. goonspeed. may you destroy a venture firm.

As a Canadian I’m using the Wealthsimple app since I can’t see Robinhood on the App Store (prob a us only app). WA keeps a three days delay on being able to then use it to trade. are there any other, better more instantaneous apps?

Gorson posted:Cumshitter has been saying over and over and over do not play with money you can't afford to lose. If you are playing with money you cannot afford to lose you are by definition a degenerate gambler and need help now. there is going to be very sad people in a few days that put their life savings into this and they will be left holding the bag. that much is a given. I’m hoping that people getting into this for the lols realize it’s only a lol if you don’t gamble your life on it. I like to constantly use the word “bet” when talking about buying stocks. it reinforces the idea.

MysteriousStranger posted:The problem is that "saving" does not work. The housing costs go up faster than you can save, it's a fools errand here. There's three ways to get a house. You got hired at 250k with 4 250k bonuses a year and a portion of the wins on your cases/contracts (this is what my friend did). Your parents buy you it. Or your parents die and you use that money. Which is always countered with "everyone here makes 100k plus and they love renting", but no, people loving hate renting, and people really loving hate 1500+ for a studio. wait what the gently caress, you can buy a house without owning the plot of land it's own???? jeezus

Mr. Nice! posted:and egyptian corvee labor used the power of the flooded nile to build them. they'd attach buoyant reeds to the giant stone blocks and float them into place. they had canals leading to the pyramids and would actually build elevated canals while working their way up to move stones into place on higher levels. here's a video that describes the process: haven't checked the video, so maybe they do say inside, but where did they get the info on how this was done? As far as I know the method of construction had been lost to time. Did new archeological finds reveal the answer?

samantonio posted:So that I'm not making GBS threads up this thread I'll draw a parallel to a conversation I was having just yesterday with my boss. He got pissy when I mentioned the recurring stimulus idea that's being pitched by 22 dem senators. He says that we shouldn't have gotten any stimulus because we have jobs. I told him it's a struggle to just survive on what we get paid at this job. He explains that he is getting ready to start his second full time job. His girlfriend also works and they collect money from the government for childcare. I mentioned that we as humans shouldn't have to work that much to survive. We're the only creature on the planet that requires money to survive. That we should be able to do what we want in life, what makes us happy and not have to worry about doing a poo poo job so some boss can make record profits, etc. there are other threads and forums for organizing a response/actions. seek them out.

linoleum floors posted:Inflation literally does not exist Related to -inflation not existing-, what's causing it right now? I mean, I know the printer is the main cause, but I've always been dumb as to what causes inflation (like I know just printing money doesn't make magical inflation, it's then how you use that additional money that might cause it, right?). I have a friend that keeps droning on about UBI, for example, and while it feels like it would be a good stopgap measure to help reduce the speed of our crumbling consumer base, I also feel it would be yet another hyper inflation driver. Does anyone have the answer to that?

Orange Devil posted:The German city of Trier used to be the capital of the Roman empire. It's situated on the river Moselle. The city has 3 bridges crossing this river. One of them, which now is a two-lane road with pedestrian paths on each side, is part of the UNESCO world heritage site of the cities Roman history. Because it was built by the Romans, in the 2nd century AD. So like, 1800 years ago. Civilization will be dead and long gone, buried under torrid weather. Eventually, aliens will show up to do some alien archeology. They'll be left thinking "how the gently caress did these so called Romans ever polluted their planet with plastic and poo poo?"

Warmachine posted:Not without writing way more words than I have the focus to write at 9AM. Keep in mind that "printing money" doesn't relate to actual printing of money, but rather that the Federal Reserve has effectively taken its feet off the breaks while the financial sector goes pig wild. I think Krugman describes it in one of his books that, paraphrasing, the Fed has the responsibility of taking away the punch bowl when the party gets too rowdy. That helps a bit. thanks ^_^ so what I’m getting is: speeding up how money shifts hand in the cycle (wheel) is good, but lowering it and pumping money in specific places of the wheel makes it lopsided and bad. is that a proper analogy?

Wasn't the bronze age collapse a thing where you had close, massive civilizations trading together and were so interlocked, with each being highly specialized in different areas, that one falling for -reasons- basically brought the entire thing crashing down? what im saying is get ready for the gold (as in circuits) age collapse!!!!1!

semi collapse related: is there any way that the means of communications we have today could become totally disrupted, forcing communications to go back to physical means? I know there's a danger of solar flares disrupting satellites, and I wouldn't be surprised if as much has been done to prevent that eventuality than has been done to protect against any hypothetical pandemic, but I'm curious if there is anything else obvious that is ready to blind side us...
