This is the material used for basically all hard plastic packaging, particularly food safe packaging
It's used for all sorts of industrial/agricultural water transport, for certain types of concrete construction, a lot of things.
wouldn't high and low density polyethylenes basically cover most plastic uses
the high density is what you mentioned but shouldn't ldpe be like plastic bags and shit
LPPE is also used for flexible containers like squeeze bottles.
Don't worry kitten
Okay ❤️
Yay ❤️
Is there an indication of when the $0.15 price was originally announced? That would give us a better idea of how bad this is. I don’t have a Bluesky account so I can’t see the original post.

Oh of course bluesky is copying one of the more hated Elon additions to Twitter
It's completely optional and disabled by default, I can't believe there are big enough losers to actually enable it on their own accounts. And of course it is stupid that it's a "feature" in the first place.
The fact that it's a feature is mind blowing
I mean i can kinda see a use for it to like stop people from off the site harassing you more easily, maybe, but I'd solve that by not being a bluesky posting lanyard in the first place
That's the stated use case. But all you have to do is either view the post with an account, or use a service like xcancel that uses an account to load it on your behalf. For example, here's the post from this thread: https://subium.com/profile/shoe.bsky.social/post/3mhswyoeqqk2e
Also the username is in the URL, so someone just has to look the person up!

yeah but adding a step in between does stop lazy people from doing a thing even if it doesn't stop dedicated harassment, I'm just saying i could see that angle but also think it sucks
Armchair economist here. Price is how we measure the value added to the economy. Therefore, if demand is held constant, price going up is good.
i feel like you deserve a nobel prize or something
If only there was a way to turn 
into text, I'm sure I'd have a great thesis!
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?
