I pulled an old free frisbee out of a box of toys my mom had saved to find it was WaMu branded. Had a little chuckle at the free plastic frisbee outliving them.

Maybe a chance to meet Dustan Hoffman.

This is just the Lemmy thread where everybody defends the scummy boss who took shortcuts on his employees safety.

Perhaps some evidence there still is some life in the onion, even if its been sitting in the pantry a little too long and starting to look a little sketchy.

Also the Montreux Convention

To be fair, some of the confusion here is from reading the article, or at least skipping to the end.

Last I heard those emissions had starting going back down. Was there anything new on that front since then?

Its a seasonal issue at both poles.

Probably one of those times I need to lament the current state of journalism that that was included. I'd argue the ozone layer is one where there is global political momentum with an example of some recent mystery emissions such as this article. That said this article we were already discussing seems to bring up some other mechanisms for the hole enlarging beyond the usual ozone depleting substances.

Well that's a throwback. Not sure I care for this particular reboot of my childhood media.

Ground level ozone and the ozone hole are two different issues. The delayed EPA regulations would be limiting ozone produced. At ground level, ozone has various health hazards. The ozone hole is from ozone depleting substances reaching high altitude in the environment and destroying naturally occurring ozone. That high elevation ozone blocks UV light from the sun, and is protective for those of us who dislike skin cancer it what not.

I got the impression they probably would especially fall when they seem to do some heavy sales promotions.
