Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
Eno did the Prophecy Theme (the high pitched synth bit that sounds like an Eno track)

Toto did all the sick rear end guitar bits

The breakdown I dimly recall is:

* Aluminium: Wonderful and easy to recycle
* Paper: Easily reused to at least some extent
* Glass: Not easily recycled but very reusable (shame we don't have bottle deposit programs still)
* Plastic: Bad
* Water: yes, unless individual Abomination or otherwise tainted

e: Like even Penn & Teller's Libertarian Propaganda Hour (With Jokes) admitted recycling aluminium is a good plan, I think.

glass is the most powerful waste product and is more durable than even cement or rocks it will last eternally

the only way it can be dealt with is if it's physically ground and weathered down back into the dunes from whence it came

e: I tried posting this yesterday but I kept getting "admin says you're not allowed to post more frequently than once every 10 seconds" even though I was not trying to post that oftend

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

My local sanitation department accepts glass for "recycling" but they actually grind it down and use it for new roadbeds in the landfill.

I mean that's recycling after a fashion. They took it, they put it to a new, relatively permanent use... Shai-Hulud's passing will cleanse it in time.

there already is a sci-fi about pizza delivery being a life-or-death endeavor

actually where IS our Snow Crash movie? it would make a good movie. also it's a documentary since we already live in the parody cyberpunk dystopia irl and also a crazy religious corporate boss got caught trying to smuggle cuneiform tablets from Iraq (im not even making this up it's one of the Hobby Lobby guys)

I think that's Lynch.

We're gonna miss the weird Lynchisms in the new movies I fear. I wish he'd bring some of them because they're just as inventive as Herbert's. Heartplugs good. Cat milking maybe not so much.
