@billcoolidge Polylactic acid, a corn-based plastic. We use it for things like our 3D Printer filament. It's referred to as compostable plastic, however, we cannot place them in the compost because there is no market here for compost containing such plastics.
Is there some sort of mandate that all single use paper cups in the USA have to be coated with PLA? NZ, Australia, UK all have apparently good commercial options for nice, totally plastic-free home compostable cups. Does that even exist in the US?
@billcoolidge @kentphotos It's amazing how much difference a few miles makes. Healdsburg was ridiculous when I was heading home! Lightning, rain, sleet all at once. I was amazed at the dry pavement in SR.
Okay, folks. Starting to look like it's going to be a rough 10+ days from a flood risk perspective in Northern California, with a series of very wet & high-impact storms. Brief thread now; blog post late this PM; YouTube live Q&A Tue. https://t.co/EdjetUtZdQ [1/n] #CAwx#CAwater
“I wonder why it seems to be so uncomfortable for many people to wait through the silence. People of all ages have deep feelings, and if we have the patience to wait through the silence, it’s often astounding what people will tell us.”
@outseide I really like that app, too! I've had it since maybe 2010 or so and now we have a pretty excellent store of recipes. I like that it syncs well cross-platform since sometimes I will pull it up on a phone, a tablet, or a laptop.
Every first responder we talked to for research on twitter and disasters could not could underscore enough how important Twitter had become to their public communication strategy. @sciam

@outseide@jseattle It took a while (a couple years with extended horrible air periods) for us to develop thresholds and procedures down here. It also took that long to get caught up with air handling systems that could help create a safer space inside. Hopefully our work will help others.
@Marketplace I perked up when hearing that there would be "libraries and wine" in today's episode and they were very interesting segments but I was hoping it would be one segment about both! Haha. Let us know if you want to do that segment sometime. :) #winelibraries
The full progression of the MASSIVE storm surge at Ft Myers Beach from SurgeCam 9 during Hurricane Ian. This cam was placed 8+ feet above the street surface.
