Most of this policy is unenforceable.

Sad comment really. I could make a counterargument that it could've gone to an alcoholic who wasted his liver, which would be equally uncalled for.

Still slop. This article appears to conflate battery recycling with lithium recovery, two distinct steps to achieve high lithium reuse.

"Newly walled towns are a sign of shrivelling state authority" was my thought when I saw the walled off Capitol. It is sad when the government needs walls to protect itself from its own people, a sign of weakness. To add to the ir

Archival optical media is likely much better than any kind of open groove technology.

Vinyl is not great for archiving. It degrades and is affected by dust.

You could just sell old vinyl with new labels and sleeves and they would be none the wiser.
