I did of course mean ecologically friendly and not economically friendly.

That said - less than ten times the price to help the environment and of course make the country smell like a pancake breakfast? Sign me up!

They run on maple syrup though, which means they're eco friendly.

'Gish gallop' is the perfect descriptor for this onslaught of every hour insanity we're going through.

Professor Santiago Gallino specializing in retail management was interviewed last year by NPR for a piece about these tags.

While the labels give retailers the ability to increase prices suddenly, Gallino doubts companies like Walmart will take advantage of the technology in that way.

“To be honest, I don’t think that’s the underlying main driver of this,” Gallino said. “These are companies that tend to have a long-term relationship with their customers and I think the risk of frustrating them could be too risky, so I would be surprised if they try to do that.”

Rather than seeing an opportunity to use surge pricing, Gallino says retailers are likely drawn to electronic shelf tags to ensure consistency between online and in-store pricing.

What a prophet.

Again, you repeat the same words as the Americans did some hundred years ago when Hitler was rising to power.

I hope for the sake of your neighbours that you are correct and that the Nazism of the west does not bleed beyond the borders of the United States.

Do check in four years down the line. Best of luck.

Given the noise Musk has been making surrounding the political landscape in Germany, the United Kingdom, and lately Canada, it stands to reason that the richest person on the planet is actively trying to make the world revolve around him.

Sentiment similar to yours was undoubtedly stated a century ago throughout Europe; 'You overestimate the impact Germany has on the citizenry outside of it.' Look where that attitude got the world, and here you are saying the same thing.

I still have installed a dozen or so clients, so I opened Voyager to remind myself what it is in comparison to Jerboa, which is also my preferred client.

Suddenly my android device has an iOS user interface. To me, this is lazy development. I'm sure it's fine for someone accustomed to it, but even having a static header and footer seem out of date.

I'll stick with Jerboa for the time being.

Some time ago, I was given a tub of everything bagel hummus. Same thing as your cashews, I was quite surprised.

Certainly not an expert in the field here, but I'm not sure there's much environmental benefit from laundry bags of that sort, given the collected microplastics optimistically end up - Germany excluded - collated in your local landfill.

Guppyfriend even recommends sealing them in a container for disposal to ensure they don't blow around during waste collection and transport. This assumes of course that you can successfully transfer microplastic fibres from a large bag into a small container without spillage, but that's a matter separate from my conjecture.

While I don't think any particular company that makes similar bags is purposefully guilty of this, the marketing strategy used to promote these as environmentally responsible products just smells like greenwashing to me.

The ones I've had are also made of synthetic materials, and so eventually break down and begin releasing their own fibres.

Frankly, the true environmental benefit I see is something I've never seen advertised: I can wash groups clothes I want kept from intermingling in the same load and therefore run the machine half as often.

That's understandable. I imagine a large section of the user base doesn't navigate to a specific community to look through posts, and instead just skip through the main feed. I didn't realise the community until you pointed it out.

While I agree with your sentiment that no one wants to be so bombarded with foreign politics, at the very least the joke that user made was in keeping with the theme of the meme.

Regarding your final question, depending on your method of consuming this content, you may be able to entirely block comments by setting a blacklist of words, perhaps including 'Republican' in this case. The same I know is true on most applications for post titles, but I'm just assuming here the same is applicable to comments.

Either way, best wishes with the situation in the fatherland, I do hope to visit some day.

If the word 'Republican' were omitted, that comment could be applicable in most countries on the planet.

It's kind of nitpicking anyway, don't you think? Almost as nitpicky as pointing out when the country of the United States is referred to by the name of the continent it shares with other nations.

Right - I wouldn't benefit from such a thing either. The market exists in China probably due to the density of people living in apartment buildings without access to home based charging.
