Is this bag just meant for industrial/municipal compost? I've had it in my pile for probably 6 months, now.

Note the very hard to read text where it says "This bag is biodegradable."

Bonus panel: musings on the decomposition and decay 🦴☠️🍁

...so my cat knocked one of my LotR bookends off my shelf, breaking off his head and... One other thing.

I epoxied both back on.

See if you can tell what the other thing was.

...i'm an idiot 💀

Y'all I went ahead and told everybody that these are compostable (www.euroscrubby.com) because they're made of cotton and tree resin... But now I realize that I don't know what the dye is made of.

And I can't find any literature online 100% confirming them as compostable.

...And now the post has blown up and I'm worried I just damaged the planet 💀

Anyone here who is familiar with the brand know if you can compost these, now that I went ahead and told thousands of people that you can?

I feel like the guy who codified the terms Alpha and Beta off of wolves in captivity. "What have I done..."

I'm putting this here in light of of the recent post by the poor OP who thought they had a great idea in using plastic mesh dish scrubbers and then had to get schooled thirty-thousand times in the comments about micro plastics.

In the comments, I saw a bunch of people saying they use plastic dish scrubbers, and to all of you who do so, might I introduce you to... The Euro Scrubby!

100% cotton and treated with tree-resin, I use one of these for months at a time. Scroll right to see the giant hole I wore in one of them before throwing it in my compost. They are so wonderfully abrasive that I often don't even need to use surfactant with them to get off crusty material, yet they also don't damage most surfaces.

Oh, and unlike a sponge or loofah that just endlessly accumulates bacteria, you can feel free to throw this bad boy into your dishwasher every week to sanitize it.

I saw other people mentioning chainmail scrubbers, and that may be an even better route... No need to ever pay for a new one/feed the manufacturing/shipping process. I'll be considering chainmail as well, now... But in the meantime, this beats plastic!

I bought mine at a Cook's Warehouse, which may be a local store.

Atlanta market, obviously.

For World Cup events, we've been getting these $40/ride boosts at certain times (when games let out), as well as $42/Active hour boosts... But I've only managed to score exactly 1 of them. I'm grateful, and it was extremely lucrative $/hr and $/mi ... BUT I also wasted an hour and a half waiting for another one to pop, the other day.

This is with driving around the zone, as well, to try to increase my chances.

What has been y'all's experience with these things in your area? Do you think Uber is prioritizing its black and gold etc. level drivers, and punishing the savvy ones who cherry pick?
