the scientology is approved by people like Tom Cruise. Might be better avoiding though, even if Mission Impossible is enjoyable.

for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

yeah, it's more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it's easier to meet them if we don't push them away in the first place (just like they don't push us way fro being child free).

the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

thanks for the clarification ! that clear it up :) I'm pretty sure I've seen it advertised several times, but I can't find the actual claim anymore .... I hope I haven't made this up somehow, otherwise I apologize for the misinformation :/ (I'll keep looking).

thanks ! that is usually what I do. Someone offered me a sketch book made of stone paper (it's actually quite nice to draw on), so I was wondering what to think of it.

 

Hi all, not sure this is the right place to ask... mods, feel free to do what has to be done if not.

I'm interested is "stone paper" a kind of paper made out of calcium carbonate (from limestone or construction waste) and HDPE (High-density polypropylene).

It's been advertised as a more eological solution for producing paper as it doesn't requires to cut down trees and uses much less water and chemicals in the process, compared to traditional paper.

My concern in about HDPE (that represent more or less 20℅ of the final product). Most companies advertise it as a "non-toxic biodegradable" plastic. But I can not find any reliable information to back this up.

I'm then inclined to think it is just green-washing.

but still I'm wondering if anyone could bring some insight about HDPE being biodegrade ...

thanks !

 

quick sketch, experimenting with ink on etched stone paper.
