The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

If you picture Ticket to Ride, some people could set out to just build their routes and maybe everyone gets to, with just a few reroutes when someone else just happened to get there first. And then there is the way to play to grab the key spots once you figure out someone else needs it so that you hamstring everyone else. I have this image of an angry Sheldon Cooper getting into a particular style of game using that strategy ...

The superior Europe map makes this less of an issue.

The discussions of the dangerous of plastics and the outright industry lies about microplastics and plastic recycling are becoming common knowledge. I wouldn't bet on the west using more plastic five years from now than they did five years ago. The tide feels very much like it's beginning to turn. Plastic is no longer "oh, isn't that nice; my shampoo bottle won't break in the shower" to "this stuff is going to give my kid cancer."

That's a bit different; that's a general societal change in the view of plastics. I think that's a lot different than, however, "people are buying more milk in glass bottles so we should start marketing our shampoo in glass bottles". The people producing the latter are unlikely to be paying attention to the former.

Even Doc Bronner's comes in plastic bottles (or jugs). I suppose if you wanted to you could buy your shampoo in bars, but that is at this point more of a specialty product (though it's pretty brilliant for traveling).

I drink out of metal usually. Kleen Kanteen, the older ones are my favorite.

Refill them at the tap if I have too.

I know plastics are probably absolutely safe but the metal cans I could probably put in my wil.

Cancer.

Cancer.

Actually, it does! I've been watching Hank Green's cancer treatment process over on YouTube, and he mentions that the radiation therapy he received to treat his Hodgkin's Lymphoma also makes it so that he's now more likely to get leukemia.

God sure has a weird sense of humour.

As Mama Snarf once told me, "If God wanted us to camp, She wouldn't have invented hotels. Now quit your sniveling about me not signing that permission slip for a field trip, and get yer Mama some of the ol' sticky icky to chase down the taste of this Malört."
