Here in TX they hand em out by the handful if you want, your choice, paper or plastic. They're hanging in every other tree and fence in the state! My buddy has been grabbing 3-4 paper bags with his plastic just for lighting his chimney of charcoal..
That's what I do, ask for paper as often as I can and use it as a grill starter.

The ultimate recycling.

Controversial opinion as I don’t hate rich people, ya know the dude who busted his ass his whole life and took chances to have that nice house in the mountains and a Porsche in the garage is cool. But these peeps spent 250k on a sub to go see titanic, for 250k I could pay everything off and still have 25% down payment for a house.
Rich people: you could save 40 a week by not going out
Also rich people: let’s spend 250k on a ride in a sketchy submersible

I mean, while this is funny, technically
1) It was an implosion, not an explosion.
2) It is a submersible, not a submarine. It is incapable of moving and supporting itself over long distances and for long periods of time. Submarines don't need launch/support crafts.
3) All the navy knew for sure was that something in that area imploded, not that the Titan imploded. It could have even been one of the ballasts off the craft, leaving it stranded on the bottom. Therefore, they had to continue S&R operations until they could confirm it was the craft, just in case. But it did help them pinpoint where to search once they did get a depth-capable ROV on scene, which is why they found the wreckage so fast (fun fact, the ROV can only light up an area the size of a tennis court at that depth, and moves at about a walking pace, so not knowing where to start could have taken a long time to find anything).

In other news, did you hear about all the stress going on at OceanGate? I hear that the CEO has been under a lot of pressure lately.
It’s a meme ;)
I didn’t realize until last night he was on it, probably better to go out in the blink of an eye despite how horrifying the physics of being crushed at that depth are, then be sitting up at night while 5 others died because of you

There’s a lot of rich people who are honestly dumb as a ufcking rock. Most inherited old money.

I'm a porsche fan to begin with, but I'd agree, it is the greatest race car ever built
Well I’m accident prone and not a midget (great line) but agree this is the most beautiful race car ever built. And one of the fastest!! Hadn’t seen that episode either thanks for posting. Love me some Porsches!

i grab one or two paper everytime I go. It sits next to my trash can and i put my recyclables in it. The plastic I use to clean the litter box and throw away.

Been doing some research while exporting videos today on the Rifle. Turns out it's an original model 1895, manufactured by Ludwig Lowe (a subsidiary of Mauser) in 1895-1896, and exported to Chile for use by the Chilean army. Mine was converted to a sporterized model either before, or after it was imported to the US. I think it was imported in 1936, but I'm not entirely sure.

This rifle is considered an Antique by the US Gov.

Hell of a gift!

First time at Great Wolf Lodge. It's like a cruise ship without the casino. Not overly impressed. The big water slides are fun. They have one that you stand in and the floor drops out and you free fall for about 2 seconds before the sliding takes over. That's dope.

The kids are entertained. That all that really matters. I will say tho. If you ever come to one. Stay in the hotel and bring your own booze and food. Makes the whole thing more reasonable.

Yeah... terrifically over priced, but then again it bills itself as a destination resort.
