As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?
  • Your welcome. If it helps was a former DJ of 10 years on 91.3 theZone out of Victoria BC Canada

    His new station is a licensed SOCAN broadcaster. He has a lot of great interviews you can look through as well.

    Hope you find it useful!

  • Not gonna lie... I'm becoming old and dont really know what people on lemmy say when they talk about self hosting. It seems like it's a much different thing that does stuff in not aware of. Lol

    Now wheres the grandkids i dont have to show me how to do this.. like i had to show my grandparents how to use their VCR

    Lol

  • Scientists have figured out way to make algae-based plastic that completely decomposes
  • Almost all of the plastic I use at work so ship orders, is used for less than a day. Tape, plastic bags, wrap, strapping.

    We use so much of it to just contain things for extrememly short periods of time, its all disposable plastic that isnt needed for more than a day usually, often hours.

    Nothing about does anyone think even once we dont want it to decompose too soon

    We we are one industry, and just one branch of one player in it. And we are one of the few areas that has rules about recycling.

    Industry can change if they want but they dont.

    We could easily switch to paper tape and start there at least eliminating one entire product line from waste. But if we can just straight up swap oil-plastic tape for biodegradable-plastic tape it would be one example of something we can do right now that we won't until we are forced to

    All it would take is the product be available and the cost not more than what we are using. So subsidize the cost of using the product we want to lower its price and get people using it. When they do scaling and maturing of this new product will also bring the cost down which will reduce the need of subsidizing it, over time or sudden advances, and make the bad product less appealing because of cost.

    But you have to make that transition as easy as simply ordering a different part number when ordering supplies.

    Its never going to be industry that makes this happen unless it costs less. So it will likely need to come from government whether it be economic policy or legislative policy

  • If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be?
  • ... And part of a Karen's dna is getting upset when other people treat Karen's like other people want to be treated. With respect and stuff

    Side note I hope my girlfriend, who's name is Karen, is well. (we went to highschool together but never dated till we graduated)

    If the real Karen is out there I hope you have had a wonderful life! You were never a Karen when i knew you Karen!

  • Scientists have figured out way to make algae-based plastic that completely decomposes
  • In not sure what point you are making. But ill clarify that i was only trying to show that i did take the use of cardboard into consideration when i have the opinion i did.

    That may not help or already be understood.

    I dont know what happening

  • Scientists have figured out way to make algae-based plastic that completely decomposes
  • No he said that in the video. It's a moot point. We are looking at doing something new. Will it be price competitive once it matures? Thats what we need to be asking.

    Because if yes, immediately shift ALL subsidies from petroleum to whatever CAN effectively replace oil-plastic.

    Whatever we do, it has to actually be effective regardless of cost. Cost come down as economies of scale sort themselves out.

    Plastic is killing us anyway, what cost matters if we are all dead?

    This is a problem NOW. Paying for it is a problem LATER.

  • Scientists have figured out way to make algae-based plastic that completely decomposes
  • That doesn't sound like a problem but a feature. We love new shiny things and wasting things.

    I think if we find materials that breakdown in a useful way, it creates an incentive to make use of those products that have a shelf life. But more importantly creating a waste product that is beneficial.

    I didn't know if the material science is there yet. But we need to figure out the best way to use these new materials to change industries.

    If we can make something profitable, other people will do the hard part of adopting it and getting it out there.

    My work produces sooo much waste. More than all of the staff combined will ever produce. And thats just my branch. We have hundreds of branches and being where we are in canada, we put some of the most amount of effort into recycling. Because its law, not because the company is willing to sacrifice profit by spending resources on anything that doesnt produce value in dollars.

    We are small fry, and we arent in a monopoly
