It’s worse than doing nothing, because it won’t just be capturing garbage(if it works as advertised), it will be capturing and killing marine life indiscriminately.

The front loading machines spin as well to get rid of excess water. They aren’t centrifuges, imo. A centrifuge is an apparatus that uses centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities.

After the Black is produced by Space, the Orphan Black broadcast and production partner of BBC America. I’m surprised BBC America didn’t pick up the aftershow sooner, really.

I did not know that! I’m going to have to watch it really closely next time.

You’re not a moron. It’s perfectly ok to ask the questions that you are asking. I think what’s getting lost here is context. We’re discussing men sending unsolicited dick pics to women, without discussing the broader environment women have to navigate. Unsolicited dick pics don’t occur in a vacuum, they are just one…

Thank you.

After reading the article, it sounds like the author rated the Hershey’s bar that high because it’s creaminess and high sugar were a palate cleanser after the Mast bars, which they described as acidic and harsh, with a grainy texture because the cacao nibs hadn’t been fully ground down. Personally, I like the Lindt…

The biggest problem with the chocolate industry is that most cacao producers don’t get a fair price for their product. What slice of that $10 US for an “artisanal crafted” chocolate bar actually went to the farmer in the Ivory Coast? 2%? Maybe less? How much to the middle men in the distribution chain? I see the…

Amen to that. Or, perhaps, Millenium hand-and-shrimp!

She was the reason I got stuck into Downton Abbey. That first episode, I’m like, this show looks like a rehash of Upstairs Downstairs, do I really need this in my life...., but that girl looks familiar....sounds familiar too, that acerbic delivery.... oh wait, it’s Susan from Hogfather!

Thank you.

Completely agree with you re: it’s about giving, not belief. But if I never watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ ever again for the rest of my life, it will be too soon. I like the Alastair Sim v. of A Christmas Carol, myself, in the original black-and-white. (The colourized version ruins some rather good cinematography,…

Systematically killing small animals would only be a sign of psychopathy if one took pleasure in the killing.

Cut off the bottom third from panty hose, fill with mothballs, tie to strategic places in/under engine. No more mice(or squirrels) climbing into your car.

Also, ears. Ears are important.

The hyperlink for “formaldehyde-releasers” brings you to a spectacularly unhelpful abstract for an article behind a paywall. In terms of cosmetics, methylene glycol, the main component of antifreeze, is what they are talking about. I’m not convinced that there is enough formaldehyde (or -releasers) to do you harm.…

That was my first thought too.

I know molybdenum as a trace element in plant tissue culture media; (from Wiki)

To quote the winner of last year's Hugo for Best Novel:
