"One Word: Plastics"

I loved this show...enough that I had a die cast eagle and a plastic one that made laser sounds.

Speaking from experience...do not try this with a full bottle of syrup. Boiling sugar and melted plastic are harder to get off your face than a little egg.

I guess it gets split? Oxygen fuels the fire and hydrogen explodes? Or is the plastic going off like c4?

I would have got the 3 holes punches and I would have accidentally got the the ruler part, just because I love using this one clear plastic ruler I have at home.

To be overly anal about it, uncanny valley concerns more the eeriness or revulsion 'peak' of a near lifelike replica. Think dead eyes in Polar Express or the plastic faces of Japan's android models.

This to me at least is beyond that trough on the uncanny valley chart, I do not sense any revulsion personally. I can of course detect it is still not real but no particular facet triggers that doppelganger reaction.

It's probably commercial turf not grown from scratch. To enable commercial turf to survive harvesting , transporation and installation, immediately after seeding a field they roll out a 20' wide biodegradeable plastic mesh which becomes incorporated into the sod as the grass grows. I've actually had a bubble like this beside my house, but much bigger, caused by a glitch in the irrigation system.

Guys, it's the vendors. They pay for that "free" loan and a lot of the benefits. And the credit card companies lobbied it in by making it illegal for a business to charge a different price for cash than plastic. That's recently (last 5 years or so) been overturned. If you've ever had the distinct pleasure of navigating the byzantine and maddening world of credit card clearance fees, you would know that not all cards take as big a bite out of your transaction with the consumer. And it just so happens that the juicier benefits cards cost the vendor even more. That's a minimum of 1.8%, usually 2.5% and as high as 4%. That means the bank floats you the $ for 30 days average at 2.5% = 30% APR. It's quite a racket. There's a reason you get 3 very expensive mailers with fake cards and whatnot a week.

Yes but the printer cost 5x as much as other printers and is made from the same plastic construction which calls into question how long the printer will actually last.

For me, it was usability due to my multiple physical disabilities. Too bad they were cheap due to plastic and other materials, but cheapto replace.

Wrap it in plastic and you'll be fine.

Dirt doesn't mess with hormones like plastic does. And it's your job as a parent to make sure kids don't put "all kinds of stuff" in their mouths.

Please don't put your kids lunches into plastic contains. If you do, make sure it's wrapped so the food doesn't come into contact with the plastic.
