Plasma displays had 2 problems though (besides cost) They were heavier than LCDs and their backlights would dim over time

Plasmas dont have backlights, they worked similar to oled.

It should come to no suprise, alabama's economy is proped up by the fed. The biggest employers is Redstone arsenal and Anniston Army Depot and all the support industries around them.

Thag perception is because the "shitty" chocolate is mass marketed and widely available. You're not gonna find gourmet artisan chocolate at a 7-11.

I still cant fathom having that many bookmarks... generally if i dont use a website often enough, i dont even bookmark it because i will just forget the website even exists. So no point in bookmarking it to begin with. I rely on the history search. Just type the first two-three letters in the server address and it recalls every website i visited or have bookmarked, and includes web searches. Vastly more convenient.

And tabs management is somehow better? I dont even wrap my head around that you'd have more bookmarks that it slows the browser but yet think that many tabs wouldnt?

People really reinvent things like a bookmark manager.

Right... like how hard is it not crash a ship into a bridge? Even good stewards have accidents. So if there something better and less destructive to the environment, it should be strongly prefered.

But they're not a problem everywhere, they're a problem of containment at the manufacturer.

So screw the local environment and the people that live there? If the manufacturer could capture and destroy pfoa's before release, why havent they done so? If they could and didnt, then they brought the ban unpon themselves.

This is like arguing "oh, but the oil spill was in a remote part of the ocean and would never effect my house, so keep on drilling baby!"

Abestos was used for millenias, and was known the miners a thousands years ago would succumb to a mysterious illness after working years in the mines... and it was just banned in the US in checks notes. Last year. Must've been big fiberglass behind it!
