Seems natural to me, but I had an iPod when they were still a thing so I might be biased.

“Bald-Headed Woman” instead of “More than a Woman.”

No worries I get it, that’s all too easy to do nowadays lol

I guess that’s up to whatever process is used by municipalities to decide between vendors, and would encourage you to persuade your local government not to do this should they consider this strategy.

I dunno man. There are no perfect solutions for dealing with plastic waste at the moment. Until we have one, there are worse ways to go about handling it.

Not sure there are any “safe” options tbh but I’d rather it serve some purpose if it’s just going to break down either way, for sure.

The article probably is and I’m not pretending to be an expert. Just saying in theory this could be useful ¯\(ツ)

I’m against plastic use where possible, but don’t see a problem in putting what we already have to work if the alternative is to just let it fall apart on its own somewhere else. If we’re going to drown in this stuff might at least get some usefulness out of it.

Those are already a thing. This is a proposal to make some use of this already present reality.

PNW has been experimenting with a version of this for a while involving old tires. Rather than let them continue to disintegrate in a landfill somewhere, adding them to newer roads allows the road to withstand freezing weather much better, reducing the need for carbon emitting repairs, increasing road lifespan (and therefore tire lifespan, which in turn reduces microplastic shedding by tires), and gives a second useful life to the plastics we already have.

It’s already shredding naturally. At least this process contains it for longer than it otherwise would, potentially reduces more shedding from tires, and gives it some purposeful existence while we come up with better ideas.

Better than just letting it rot somewhere, right? At least, that’s my take. Maybe it’s wrong, but it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

performance isn’t really my main concern with DB.

Yes I was using the db implementation but didn’t know there was a MD mode, that’s nice! Might give it another go.

You’re right, you can use logseq without a db. Nice!

There is a version that uses SQLite which is what I was using, it seems like that’s required for certain features like db graphs, so a bit of a bummer:
