~Only a moron wouldn’t cast his vote for Monty Burns!
57 million tons is equal to 114 billion pounds. According to this Wikipedia page the average adult in North American weighs 180lbs.
114,000,000,000 lbs / 180 lbs/person = 633,333,333 people
So it’s an amount of plastic that weighs as much as 633 million people; of course it is still impossible to really imagine how much plastic that is. But maybe a better reference then the volume a park.
Schools will be closed through the end of the week, the superintendent said.
Only in America can 2 of your teachers and 2 of your classmates be shot dead. And they are like we are only giving you 2 days off while we clean this up, but hey we will be ready to go Monday.
I guess along with those active shooter drills they also got an active shooter cleanup plan.
The thing that I don’t understand about self driving is the need for it to be this high tech super computer thing.
Especially in the case of a tunnel why not just have it drive on a wire like robots and fork trucks in factories do currently.
Outside of the system to track the wire all you need are the sensors which a lot of new cars already have for keeping distance with variable cruise control and automatic braking.
Or hell it’s a tunnel just make it a conveyor belt like the car wash.
Or i don’t know, maybe some sort of electric underground tram system. You can even give it a fancy sci-fi name like “rapid subterranean transit system.”
Wait a minute you little punk. Eat my shorts is in the fifth race.
What do you have to show for a lifetime of sloth and ignorance. A dream house, two cars, and a beautiful wife… lobsters for dinner!
It depends on how fancy of a website you are trying to make. But check out something like Hugo or Jekyll. I haven’t used Jekyll personally but have used Hugo. There are plenty of templates to get you started depending the type of content you are planning on putting up.
And the best part is you can host the site for free on GitHub or Gitlab, so the domain name is the only cost.
