This is the equivalent of saying that MS Outlook is a community. It's not and neither is Lemmy. Each server has its own rules, and each community on those servers can add rules beyond that.

Address a specific community or server, there's no central control over the fediverse.

How many cops has she arrested or ticketed? This is a foundational component of the calculation.

Because it's tldr: did the article say why muskrat would be subject to brazilian laws?

Yeah, by several years I mean a decade now - how time flies! In the book "The Complete Guide To Making Mead" by Steve Piatz he describes "a predictable and repeatable meadmaking process that can produce drinkable meads after months of aging, rather than years".

Such information is also available elsewhere online at sites like the meadmakr guide.

Like with other fermented beverages, some recipes will have potential to transform more with extended aging while others are better fresh.

The knowledge of how to make good mead has greatly matured in the last several years. With modern techniques there is no need for years of aging! The exception being if you purposely want micro oxidation characteristics.

Didn't forget, that just isn't relevant to the assertion that "plastic can't be recycled". The second use of the plastic doesn't have to be a form which requires the exact same properties as the initial use. The remains of a bottle don't have to be remade into another bottle. There are still nearly infinite possible uses for the plastic.

hardly any plastic is actually recyclable

Almost every thermoplastic is recyclable easily, though not necessarily profitably (because the new materials are so cheap).

Recycling that PET bottle into a different usable object would involve cleaning it, cutting it into a shape appropriate for your chosen remanufacturing process (filament or flakes), heating it to melted but not too hot, then forming (fdm, molding, etc.).

My guess would be that getting a durable graphic printed on PET is more difficult since we don't see that, and adhesive or wrapped labels are almost certainly more expensive than printing would be if it were easy.

Edit to add: I agree that more responsibility needs to be on the manufacturer, but don't buy into the misinformation that plastic can't be recycled. Make it more expensive to use new plastic than recycled material.

Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There's only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.

Is not the same as

all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

Refusing to see nuance in the difference between the sentiment of these two statements does a disservice to yourself and your cause (unless you're on the side of the billionaires).

So here you go since you missed the distinction: they can both be (and are) corrupt, without being "the same".

People like to point out all the ways they're not the same and one team is better than the other. Fine. Those things can all be true, and politicians in both those parties are still corrupt.

It was only a couple presidents ago that Democrats had the House, Senate, and President. Even then they couldn't get their own members to vote for anti-corruption legislation.

OP makes a statement that all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

Wrong. OP never wrote that - YOU made that statement as a strawman. You should try to be a more honest person.

Disproves which part of what he wrote?

Or disproves the strawman you set up yourself?

Almost every state requires some manner of concealed carry permit

Are you intentionally untruthful or just ignorant?

Is your definition of "almost every" LESS THAN HALF?

These are facts which are easy to look up and here you are spreading misinformation.

Sure, committing to a deadline is reasonable if you are included in the decision calculus of scope vs time. Part of that should be to include space for learning as needed to understand anything you'd copy.

Omitting that is a recipe for low quality garbage and not only will the code suffer, but the organization also will while all the staff fall behind any competitors who make the investment.
