       @MissConstrue refrigeration - even freezing - only slows, but does not stop biological processes like fermentation, decay etc.

       @stux In NSW Australia there is a ten-cent deposit on most cans and bottles. To earn a few hundred dollars - say $300 - a month, though, you'd need to find, transport, store and return 3000 items items. It'd be a full time job.When I was in school (lo, these many years hence), the local milk bar used to pay a deposit on drink bottles, but they made the mistake of storing them in a bin out the back. We would go and raid the bin after hours and return the bottles over and over and over again....

       @Gargron @mkljczk @jeffjarvis The "early 20th century"? I thought "well, that's bullshit", then I went and investigated and discovered that OCR started way back in 1870! Though the first thing we would really recognise as OCR was a thing to convert letters on paper into sounds *in 1912".
