Precisely. I always tell my single friends, look at the mom. That’s what your future wife/girlfriend is going to look like. 

It depends on what you want to do but college has never equaled success, per se. You need college if you want to be an engineer or a doctor, lawyer etc. If you want to be a fashion designer, vlogger, Internet personality, actor etc it’s not as necessary.

Before it gets to Clinton-era Earth, Captain Marvel throws us into one of those long-running interstellar wars that always seem to be going on in the far corners of the galaxy.

Of course that’s how you see it. I see it as you not wanting to have an open discussion and unwilling to provide anything other than your opinion. Thanks for the conversation. 

Yeah maybe Barney Frank can step up, or Elliot Spitzer or maybe Wiener will be out of jail in time? Too bad Teddy Kennedy is dead, he could really hammer Trump on womanizing and you know, killing women in drunk driving accidents.

I never said there was nothing we can do. You, on the other hand, seem determined that it’s your way or the highway. Here’s a link to an article that highlights what I’m saying. It’s not a slam dunk that reuse is better than recycling, though it has to potential to be.

I don’t think I’m saying there’s no way to handle that, I’m saying that they way you want to handle the issue may not be the most cost effect or the best for the environment. Other than opinions neither of us has produced any actual cost or impact data. I’m just trying to point out that sometimes what you might think…

Don’t get your panties in a wad, I misread your cooler comment as a typical Coleman cooler. While this is a good idea I would really like to see a more extensive breakdown of environmental impact for individual bottles of water versus water coolers and reusable containers.

Not sure if this is in response to the Flint comment but I don’t see how putting bad water from the tap into a cooler really addresses the bad water problem. 

Not having uniform bottles for a product is not a simple answer. First, how would you automate filling these bottles when they are potentially different sizes and shapes. How do you put labels on non-uniform bottles? How do you package and ship them? Uniformity is important in optimizing the storage and display on…

To be clear, I’m not advocating for (plastic) bottled water, per se, just that I see for some people it’s more convenient. This is why I mentioned water in paper containers instead of plastic.

Hot water might do the trick, though I don’t think it’s as simple as just dropping them into a sink. Plus not all labels are paper and there’s the question of how to handle the refuse of labels, some of which may be paper, some plastic, that results from soaking them off. And of course what about bottles, like beer…

Have you ever tried to soak off the labels for 1000 bottles? And, as I mentioned, some wine bottles have painted on labels so that would take more than soaking them. Then you have to wash them before you can use them and also you need to package and store them until you need them. All of these things will cost you in…

THIS BABY DOESN’T OWE ANYONE ANY GOD DAMN EXCUSES FOR BEING A BABY.

I Z what you did there.

Well I do know some places will take beer bottles and wash and reuse them. They used to do this at the Pacifico brewery in Mazatlan, MX. You buy a case and return the bottles and the next case was half priced or something like that.

Some people are afraid that their drinking water may be contaminated. You think it’s unlikely and then you get Flint Michigan.

This is what I have said for years. I call it “pre-cycle”. In other words, think about usage before hand and then you might reduce what has to be recycled.

The entirety of the article is based on how bottle-caps are non-recyclable, yet you should recycle them, anyway.

Ah, that’s different.
