Oh, yeah it did. That's odd. Thanks for reporting it

"Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain. As salt is also present in soil, a piece about five centimetres (two inches) in size disintegrates on land after over 200 hours, he added. The material can be used like regular plastic when coated, and the team are focusing their current research on the best coating methods, Aida said. The plastic is non-toxic, non-flammable, and does not emit carbon dioxide, he added."
Seems like they're being pretty coy about what it actually is while simultaneously trying to assure everyone that it's safe.
You guys have always been excellent. As others have stated, no need to worry.
I'll be giving piefed some love in the meantime 👍
Yeah, he wasn't the black jesus that everyone was trying to make him out to be. I didn't like him at the time, but he seems like a godsend compared to today's shit show.
One can hope, I suppose.
so, never?
That is true, but I don't think that's a good enough reason not to use them as the representations. The interoperability will improve over time, it just has to be developed more.
However, I am also hesitant about it for another reason in that I'm not really certain any of these platforms are static or will just forever keep changing over time. How do you represent a forever changing, evolving, dynamic network of platforms?
Also, we should try and focus on what are some of the ways that it could be improved as well.

Yeah, that's one that made me have to double check. Lol
PC obsession? Seems like a strong word. I'd say they're just throwing carrots. Not good carrots either, just the ones that were already destined for the compost bin.
Nice
