You definitely do have to work harder to find more diverse viewpoints here. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. At least on mastodon you can specifically follow people who talk about things outside your realm of experience.

When I build stuff in Space Engineers, I tend to find myself leaning to look around and under stuff sometimes.

I had no end of trouble with Bluetooth until I screwed in the wifi antennas. I use Ethernet so it never occurred to me before then.

It's true, and it's problematic, but the plastic lining in an aluminium can is super thin, since it doesn't need to be structural. As far as resource use goes, it's still way better. It's best to look for improvements, and not to let the search for perfection block you from a marginal gain.

If you're going to re-use, use glass, where possible. If you're not, aluminium is still the better choice.

We should have higher deposits on cans and bottles. Here, it's been pegged at 5 cents since the 90s - it should be more like 25 cents now for cans, or a dollar for glass bottles.

There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they're making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It's kinda just another form of exceptionalism.

There's no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It's just expensive.

I had a moment recently where I noticed that in Bluey, the kids were sticking their legs through the bottom of their plastic car (one of the Grannies eps) but in the next scene the car had turned over and clearly had a solid bottom panel.

Yep........ magic car apparently!

It goes to show how little they actually care about capitalism. If farmland is more productive (makes more money) producing solar, then capitalism would say turn it into solar.

They're literally stealing money from the farmers.

Fresh baked bread without a ton of preservatives only lasts four or five days if you don't freeze it.
