schestowitzI now have 5 bins in my kitchen, in order to better facilitate recycling that I've been doing for years.Feb 22 16:22

qu1j0t3schestowitz: it costs our building more to send to landfill, so the incentives are correct.. they tend to ask residents to recycle more.Feb 22 16:27
schestowitzToday I bought lots of capsules for the first time. Vitamins. Seems like placebo for the most part, but OH suggested that I try them. Got 60 tablets of vitamin D & calcium,90 of vitamin C, 60 of vitamin E, some of A, and iron.Feb 22 16:27

schestowitz...So after a morning chat I made a change of plans and went to town centre in order to purchase those vitamins OH advised me to get. I went to three supplements stores and found what was suitable.Feb 22 16:30
schestowitzthose things are most likely "money down the drain"... vitamins I can get from fruit too, seems to be mostly made in the US by some "herb" brandsFeb 22 16:30
schestowitzI do know that omega 3 is a bit of a scam given that most people can get enough of it by just eating real foods, proper dietsFeb 22 16:31

schestowitz"Agreed. Its funny how people keep thinking that only voting will result into change. Look how it went down with Obama. Ive started to think that people need to upset the ruling elite and their sponsors by denying support for their corrupt system of present day democracy. Sure, it would be one hell of a ride that one, but Ive started to see it as the only way out of this system. Not voting doesnt mean you dont give shit, it Feb 22 16:39

schestowitzI would love to vote for some candidates, but they are marginalised and they only complain about it. They say, "this is not a democracy" yet they run in this system which they call undemocratic. For now, taking it to the streets and exposing the malfunctions in the system (on the Net, to peers, etc.) seems more productive use of time.Feb 22 16:40

qu1j0t3schestowitz: "ABC News got the invite after years of requests. That’s right, Apple called Weir, offering him, essentially, an all access pass to the plant floors where Apple builds its key products.

Its parent company ABC is, as Weir himself was quick to point out, owned by Disney, which has a strong relationship with Apple that includes the Steve Jobs Trust owning substantial shares in the company. Feb 22 17:44
qu1j0t3“We expected to find some real horror stories, and didn’t. That said, what is acceptable on a Chinese assembly line is soul-crushing by American standards,” said Weir.Feb 22 17:44
