    Okay this one has always cracked me up.

    The constitution people always love talking about the amendments like they’re gospel. But like, if the constitution was so great, why do you care about the changes to it? If we make a new amendment does it instantly become as sacred emotionally to them?






  • Hi! Former aluminum process engineer here. Caution– not a metallurgical engineer.

    Really simplified version: if you recycle car body parts and cans and radiators and building metal, you can’t make car body parts again out of them without diluting impurities down with prime (new) aluminum. So to recycle it is amazing, better than most products (since it offsets a TON of energy, way more than the same workable unit of glass or steel or anything). But just recycling doesnt fix it, you need some prime. Most of the US prime comes by way of Ontario, China, or Australia. Since a lot of the aluminum production is on the East coast in general, Ontario sees the most of it.

    Seems like a very effective way to impact the US in response to the ridiculous tariff/trade negotiation situation
