California sues ExxonMobil for alleged decades of deception around plastic recycling, in first-of-its-kind lawsuit
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/23/clim ... index.html

I'm tired of people telling me plastic is ok because it can be recycled. The plastics industry has done a fine job of convincing people that plastic magics itself from your rubbish bin, to the correct plant, so it can be recycled. The article mentions 9% of plastic being recycled which I find optimistically high.

Yes; The street musician is playing a song by the red hot chili peppers, and the guy sitting there and listening is Chat Smith, the actual RHCP's drummer...

Are you worried by letters from the Finanzamt?
Does each FA letter cause you tremors?

Imagine that you didn't receive one but 1700 letters, all identical, on the same day...

Thats what happened to this guy in Quickborn (Schleswig-Holstein)


Quote :
A man in Quickborn , Schleswig-Holstein, will not soon forget this weekend - and neither will the postman or postwoman. The man received 1,700 copies of a letter from the tax office. His application for so-called Elster access was made on the weekend of the time change at the end of October, according to a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Finance.

"The application, or rather the resulting access letter, has been caught in a sort of 'time loop' due to a technical error caused by the simultaneous time change." The "Flensburger Tageblatt" had previously reported on the case.

The letters were delivered on Saturday. "At first I was really shocked," the paper quoted the Quickborn resident as saying. "At the tax office, you don't expect a mistake. You tend to think you've messed up yourself." When he opened the letters, he found the secret code for a requested Elster access for electronic tax returns. All of the letters he opened contained the same document.

We have many workers in one of the apartments which is completely being renovated for some weeks now. My neighbour below put on a sign in different languages about the house door. The last sentence is hilarious
„Du nix lassen auf Tür! Sonst kommen böse Mann. Wenn Du machen Du zahlen!“
