“I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by belief in the virtuousness of work, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organised diminution of work.” - Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness

Because that’ll always work
How many categories of trash/bag are there?
Two, basically. Green one is for normal, yellow one is for food waste. Grey one is for recyclable stuff which I’ve never seen for myself which I assume is because there’s almost always a different company that handles them. There are some special bags for something like glass, dirt…etc which I have no personal experience with. But that’s just a bit fancier normal bag so only two it is: normal and food waste bag.
Those kind of machines I’ve showed earlier are very common but only in big apartment complexes, which is, still, one of the most common housing in South Korea. If there’s no such machine near you, you’ll just have to buy bags for food waste.
Trash collectors don’t really take a hard look at the contents but when it’s so obvious that there’s food waste in a normal bag, it’s about $100 fine for you and the garbage won’t get collected.
But in reality, quite a lot of people do throw out food waste in a normal bag, not specifically because food waste bag is significantly more expensive(I’m not sure if it actually is more expensive or not. It’s such an insignificant amount of money for me to track) but because convenience.
If you go shopping in South Korea, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll get plastic bag like this. This works as both shopping bag and normal waste bag. Pretty neat(although they tear easier than any other bags ☹)
curbside trash will only get picked up if it’s in the official bags, which are priced by size(1L, 5L… all the way up to 50L-75L)
I live in South Korea and we’ve been doing national recycling ever since I could remember.
this thing calculates the weight of your food waste and charges you for the exact amount you throw out. These are everywhere. I think it’s neat, especially considering that other countries are not doing the same thing…
I was pretty surprised that recycling food waste is not common thing around the world.
Really? Because I will never feel comfortable acting as a rapist, especially if it wasn’t explained to me before actually taking the gig.
That’s the same reaction you get when you introduce human rights to a lot of non-western countries(LGBTQ, abortion…)
Even ignoring your outrageous remark on how US doens’t pay its debts, consider this: US’s debt is in USD. Pakistan’s debt is in (ultimately)USD.
Please learn how economy works.
Something like that. They sold $50 worth of gift cards at about 10% off pretty regularly, so a lot of people bought many of them. Turns out it was a clear red flag. Now those gift cards are being refused by basically all other businesses.
It’s not that we are not able to shoot them down. There are cities and small towns near the border and even without them, Seoul itself is really close to the border. Official statement is that shooting them down is not an option.
I can think of many ways to transmit data. Doesn’t even nessesarily have to be the Internet. Internal SIM card? Satelite connection? VLAN is definitely not a solution to a state-level hardware threat.
