A couple years ago I spotted two of our IT people wheeling out a whole cartload of Mac towers and minis. I asked what was going to happen to them and was told, literally, that they would be “melted for slag.” I nearly cried. 2026-08-26T00:02:21Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvt9yknctwwevupejrg0n53qx4glg3zdnw5ra7t86d7acdz7alvqczyq50kzurtugx6ndpaxg258dzuqzltwq56wu57je9yrgt5auc03e8xtyk8gm Instagram plant influencers think they’re clever, but they’ve got nothing on houseplant books from the 70s<br/><br/>[Source: House Plants for the Purple Thumb, by Maggie Baylis, 1973]<br/> <img src="https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/116/868/077/288/287/784/original/f98489165bf780ed.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-07-05T15:38:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdsdyr8htr7rq8vpgenmjtrt5ta8grywvu87duaskz065q5tr2dpszyq50kzurtugx6ndpaxg258dzuqzltwq56wu57je9yrgt5auc03e8xz9p6jx RE: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116681064718015259">https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116681064718015259</a><br/><br/>I had one of the first Neons to roll off the factory floor.

At The Mining Co. (which became about.com), you also had to hit a minimum before you got paid at all. I was making ~$42 every three months when I left. My husband was a Guide for a more popular topic, and he would occasionally make maybe $300 in a month if something exciting happened. 2026-05-26T15:30:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs87sxkgvvth76rg5p2psc5nfs4ldlfz7eccd7e7ce2a9tfeq479dgzyq50kzurtugx6ndpaxg258dzuqzltwq56wu57je9yrgt5auc03e8xwk4mlh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgctxwp5zswuenazpcefk7x9qtcqz9q0s367nnmus0nfze4knu3rqjuxq59'>nevent1q…xq59</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So… in 6th grade I had my own personal vertical file of clips from the Weekly Reader and National Geographic World, and so many of them were about being a good citizen by conserving energy.
