That's gorgeous. My first time seeing this art form. Looks really impressive.

Another blame the boomers rant. Really?

Another woman murdered by her male mate.

Really nice texture work. A true art piece.

Texass--the lone brain cell state.

I was on Lovenox for a over a year. It ended up causing significant bone loss. My primary doctor never mentioned this risk to me; it was disclosed when I went in for lab work. I have always been a clotter though. I now take only aspirin. I'm just sharing MY experience with it; not trying to dispense medical advice or cause fear. I urge your wife to talk to her doctor and perhaps have bone density before / after tests.

Actually, nobody cares about your experience. Sad, but true.

Whether Keanu said it or not, the words are true.

Thank you for this info. For those also appreciative / interested, here's a compelling study:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5917019/

The US is largely single stream recycling which means human sorting. Glass breaks, so it's a laceration risk for the single stream sorter AND broken glass can damage the machinery. The US is a large country with many states bigger than EU countries. Even within a state, the cost to move the glass to an appropriate facility makes it unprofitable. Even with split stream, the broken glass is still a hazard and glass remains heavy to transport. There's just no current way to recoup the cost. I don't like it, but those are the facts.

Edit to add: I'm not trying to be a prick, but before randomly arguing a point, maybe do some research. Any search engine should provide answers.

That's nice. It doesn't make it the norm. Do your research. Glass is too expensive to recycle.

Oh sure, drag in .60 years ago.

Actually, we have not. Very few places take back glass bottles. Do your homework.

Glass is very costly to recycle. Many recycling services won't accept glass because it is so expensive to transport. And if you throw glass on the ground (which is the problem here), then it breaks and causes bigger problems. The issue isn't the aluminum coke cans (which are easily recycled) but rather the dolts that litter.

Sorry. Yes. None of this applies to a real deli, this was a mass supermarket deli. Deli meats and cheeses don't move very quickly. When the cut edge started showing its age, store managers had us slice off the end so it looked fresh. We were told to ignore expiration dates. By we, high school students. Too young to understand how wrong that was. I quit when my manager took a stack of brand name frozen pizzas that had expired dates on the boxes, removed the pizzas, and told us rewrap and sell them with deli stickers. Salads in the cases were also recycled. The old was always scooped ontop of the new so it would move first. However, there was no tracking how long a salad was kept. On the plus side, hot foods were prepared daily and not kept over, so at least there's that. Now a warehouse like Costco has enough volume I am sure so things like this would not be an issue. But your local grocery store, not so much. And that would be my advice: keep an eye on the customers getting deli meats and cheese where you shop. If the deli is busy, great. If not, maybe don't chance it.

From the article: "The study found that after deli meat at more than 90 percent and RTE salads at just less than 5 percent, soft and semi-soft cheese and RTE seafood accounted for 0.5 to 1.0 percent of listeriosis cases. Lastly, frozen vegetables accounted for 0.2 to 0.3 percent of cases." tl;dr--the RTE reference pertains to salads.

One of my first jobs was in a grocery store deli. Worked there for a little over a year. In the decades since, i have never purchased deli meat or cheese.
