Reply to Vermont House passes an expansion to bottle redemption bill by BudsKind802

Society issue not a government one. Government will just make it worse. If society doesn't want to give up their convenient cheap bottling solution for a more permanent alternative, then nothing will happen. The government will just give money to certain people and tax the rest. Just an L. If you want to cut down, then don't personally buy the product

Reply to comment by OneMadChihuahua in The Metro is the reason my car stays in the garage for weeks at a time. Without it, I would be driving 3-4 days a week. How much more frequently would you be driving if it weren’t for the Metro? by SuperBethesda

There are 5 main groceries (Harris Teeter, 2 Trader Joe’s, Giant, and Safeway) in downtown Bethesda, and I live a few blocks from some of them. I get produce from the weekly Farmers Market as well. We’re a household of 2, and with all the restaurant options in the neighborhood we eat out a lot, so not much to carry between groceries and home.

Reply to ELI5: Is there a time difference everywhere? by squidwards_noze

When you are on the phone with someone, are you talking to them at the same time or at different times? 5 minutes is always 5 minutes no matter where you are. Time zones are set by humans to match daylight hours with time in the day- more or less so noon is when the sun is directly overhead. We have to maintain consistently so we can’t say it’s 12 here and next door it’s 12:01, no one would know what time it is. We group them into zones into where it makes the most sense. It literally is an imaginary line where you have to set the clock forward, so you can match everyone else in the area.

Reply to comment by urzu_seven in eli5: Why do seemingly all battery powered electronics need at least 2 batteries? by OneGuyJeff

> Strictly speaking, no its not because the words meaning has changed over time, as language often does.

Which is not the case here. It may be common parlance for the layman but they're different for people that use them in industrial settings and they're different according their definitions in the dictionary.

So he's correct. Speaking strictly, it's an oxymoron.
