Which, to be honest, isn't a quality you'd want in a company dealing in flighted transit.

The HolyGrail2.0 project is designed to provide better recycling at the MRF. Reduce contamination. Invisible to the human eye (at least mostly), it's intended to be read by the sorting machine.

That honestly sounds fun and I wish I had someone who loved me.

Reply to The complete set of 1983 Encyclopedia Americana on my Nile River cruise ship by doctorbobster
My parents got us a World Book and a Britannica set, both old enough that the articles about MLK and RFK referenced them in present tense, and the entry about the US government and branches had diagrams with pictures of LBJ post-briefing or beady-eyed Richard Nixon in the center. I would always go into the articles about individual states just to look at the governor's mansions. Most of the pictures were black-and-white, but the article on World War II had a bright-ass color photo of I think maybe the Nuremberg rally, that kinda maybe made the most genocidal Western regime of the big band era look like Cobra Commanders.

Reply to This Christmas Tree was made from individually hand cut Mountain Dew bottles. by MikeyPapapacha
If i remember this correctly, the city recycling centers do this in that country because mtn dew bottles aren't recyclable. I remember seeing mtn dew bottles as decorations in random places because nobody can really sell them or recycle them.

Nope! You have a dog like rug. Have you ever seen a tiger?

Those floors lead to a liminal space that it only accessible during "lost" hour of a daylight savings transition.

Some socks that have spots of compression are side specific.

I got the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery for Christmas. It came with the Hubble telescope, and the Hubble had yellow caps on each side. What held those caps in were little faucets used in Lego houses. Yes, like sink faucets.

What's really interesting is that this low-cost airline might still SELL you tickets to row 13.
A few days ago a couple of travelers boarded the plane and couldn't find their seat. The stewardesses were baffled as well.
EDIT: Apparently there was a last-minute switch of planes and some of them do have this number, while other don't.

Of course I looked at it! The acronym "USA" did not say format. Everyone is simply implying it meant that.

Believe it or not, none of these are sweet potatoes. They had a separate section with multiple rows of sweet potatoes.
I think these are what look like sweet potatoes. They’re Papa Chaco potatoes.

Yep, this isn't uncommon. Many buildings have no 13th floor, many hotels have no 13th room, many streets have no 13th house.
Dumb people get to make some pretty big decisions.
