“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

Water bottle cap, yes. 'Cause they're both plastic.

Jat lid, no. 'Cause it's metal.

I agree with George on the recycling AND Susie on the Hobbit observations as well.

Congrats on the HD!

But is it the same kind of reusable plastic? One seems harder and more colored than the other. And the lid has a different little plastic seal in it, too.

And isn't metal recyclable? So why can't the lid go in?

Ok, smarty pants. The water bottle & lid are the same type of plastic & can be left together. Mind you this is based on the bottle I have here. There are different types of plastics that need to be separated into different recycling processes but typically that is done at the facility.

However, metals and glass are recycled through different methods and should be separated. Most blue box programs ask that you separate glass/metals/paper/plastics. So if you go by their standards they need to be separated.


Pftttt!

My company is Green (actually ranked higher than Green at the Silver level, approaching Gold compliance) and they have you put everything that is recyclable in the one blue bin. Apparently, it gets separated later. If you have trash in the blue bin, or something recyclable in the trash bin, they won't empty your 2 cans that day.
