At least it’s a good opportunity for parodic news medias to have some fun at Zuck’s expense.

I’m not from the US, but know about the kind of cups you’re talking about. They’re common everywhere at fast food, and other restaurants selling food to go.
They’re indeed designed for using a straw. When having lunch outside I typical bring a water bottle. Then buy food without drink, or refill if there’s a dispenser. It’s helps avoid unhealthy sodas, and avoid the cup and straw altogether.

Why use straws at all?
Straws ate useful for babies, the elderly or disabled who are unable to drink from a glass without making a mess.
Hopefully you’re able to drink from a glass, and don’t need a straw.

Why not stopping use of BOTH plastic straws and wasteful LLMs?
- Comment on Poll reveals the amount of Brits who would take weight-loss jabs for free on NHS 2 months ago:
Not for free, but paid by people’s taxes and insurance contributions.
Drugs have a cost, and there’s always someone paying. With national health insurance, the people getting drugs are the ones paying it. It’s just spread over a large group, and a function of individuals income.

- Comment on Kremlin warns German weapons factory is legit target for Russia’s military 2 months ago:
The title is innacurate, or a least confusing.
At first I fought it was about a factory in Germany, but it’s about a factory in Ukraine:
Arms factories inside Ukraine run by German defense contractor Rheinmetall

- Comment on ‘Stop all time wasting’: Woolworths workers tracked and timed under new efficiency crackdown 3 months ago:
Going to such extreme is probably costing the company of medium/long term.
This is bad for employees physical and mental well-being. This is obviously increasing injuries and burnout. Meaning more sick leave, worse employee turnover.
- Comment on Solar panels between railway tracks? 3 months ago:
It seems like it a bad place. It would probably shorten the panels’ lifetime, and maintenance would be tricky without interrupting train traffic.
Let’s work on putting more solar panels on schools, malls, parking lots, train stations, and any structure with a large roof.
- Comment on Ukraine ‘will seek nuclear weapons’ if it cannot join Nato 3 months ago:
That may also explain why capturing nuclear power plants is so strategic in this war.
- Comment on Sweden switches on largest battery energy storage system in the Nordics - Energy Storage 3 months ago:
Li-Ion seems to be the go-to solution. I hope new static energy storage projects will prefer other options (Na-Ion, flow batteries, …) since there’s a limited supply of Lithium and we need it for vehicles.

Israel argues that Unifil has failed to stabilise the region, and has asked peacekeepers to withdraw northwards so it can confront Hezbollah.

Yes

The electromagnetic force from the atoms’ respective electron cloud probably help prevent atom get close to each other. And the strong nuclear force also help prevent atom from splitting.
- Comment on Scrap law making schools serve meat, says Labour donor Vince Dale 4 months ago:
Why not mandate that 3 meals a week have at least X g of protein and Y g of fiber?
That’d be a better way to ensure healthy meals with proteins without requiring meat.
- Comment on Butts 4 months ago:
They’re looking for a way to save the live of people in respiratory distress, such as intensive care patient with Covid19 and damaged lungs.
Doctors and rbiology researchers need to move passed the ick factor sometimes to make progress. Laughing it off is a good way to do that.

- Comment on Hermit Crab Housing Market 5 months ago:
Yes, that’s a better analogy.
Actually swapping house like a hermit crab swap shell would leave very little time to move furniture, put some fresh paint on walls, have the owner review the house to return the security deposit, etc

- Comment on Say Hello to Biodegradable Microplastics 10 months ago:
Nice. It won’t help with existing junk, but it can be the basis for mandates that all plastic produced and sold be able to biodegrade within 9 months.
If it becomes reality is could significantly reduce the amount of new microplastic, and as a side effect reduce fossil fuel consumption from the plastic industry.
The raw material still has to come from somewhere. Plants based plastic could mean land use to grow plants for plastic production, which has it’s own impact.
