  • Except - it’s impossible to know anything about how a company actually functions internally.

    I saw this having worked with dozens of companies as a contractor. What they seem like from the outside is never what they’re actually like.

    My response to this stupid question is “I don’t know, why should I want to work for this company?”

    But I’ve also walked out of interviews when they started that STAR nonsense - it’s insulting and a waste of my time. How would they feel if I handed them 3 sheets of paper with answers to all the STAR questions?

    Plus it’s still tied to a phone number.

    Why do I need another shitty messaging app that’s tied to my phone number, in the 21st century, when I’ve had proper hardware-independent network-based, cross-platform, messaging apps on my phone since 2009?







  • Look into your municipality’s recycling process, see how it’s done, what the inputs are, what the total energy use is, etc, etc.

    I’d bet a year’s salary it’s far less effective (if at all) than most people think.

    “Recycle” was/is a marketing grift developed by the oil industry in the 70’s. It largely isn’t effective.

    As someone else mentioned, aluminum (and steel) are very recyclable, and are already extensively recycled in manufacturing (don’t forget that reusing scrap within a factory is considered recycling).

    Everything else largely isn’t, yet. Glass is very recyclable, but the transport costs are exorbitant, so I suspect it’s a negative for things like drink bottles, while the energy costs on most plastic recycling makes it not yet viable, from what I’ve read.

    Someday, just not today.

    If the 3 R’s, Reduce is the one that truly makes a difference.
