Lithium-ion batteries contain large amounts of valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and copper.

By design, those batteries are ≈95% recyclable, yet less than half is currently being recycled.

A few thoughts on why that is, and why it should change.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

This should go without saying, but it's okay if someone you don't agree with goes on a certain show or podcast. It's okay to be exposed to dissenting opinions. It's okay to feel uncomfortable. The biggest danger for the Democratic Party moving forward is the imposition of ideological purity tests.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement
@bsky.app really does feel so positive and devoid of BS spam. Can someone smarter than me explain why this product is operating better? Is it better code? Better moderation? Or has it just not reached a point where the trolls have decided to invade?
