The terms of this program on the Staples.com site, which servers the USA market, stipulate U.S. stores.

Staples® Recycling Program (“Program”)

Terms and Conditions (“Terms”)

In an effort to reduce waste going to landfills, Staples has created the Staples Recycling Program which offers Customers the option of bringing in select items to Staples® U.S. stores…

This Program is available to all Staples customers that bring in eligible recyclable items. Customers who are 18 years of age or older with a valid U.S. mailing address and a valid email address may enroll in the Staples Easy Rewards™ program to earn points for eligible recyclable items that they recycle with Staples. The Program applies to Staples U.S. stores only.

I would describe the recycling information at Staples.ca, which I found at https://www.staples.ca/a/content/sustainability, as no more than a collection of brochure-quality blurbs about their recycling services’ availability, with no information about an incentive program; I see no mention anywhere of paying the customer for bringing in recyclable items. That’s not to say that Staples.ca mayn’t just be slow to update with new information. If such an incentive-based initiative is in effect at Canadian stores too, that’s great news.

How is the existence of this law germane to the subject of this article, or discussion of the article here?

Indeed! Apparently I too have unwittingly been growing my collection since 1991. Of course back then we just called it “buying my music”.

I would show it off to that community but it’s just stacked in cardboard boxes (alphabetically, I’m not an animal), not nicely curated and organized and dusted weekly in pride of place. Also, I’ve never counted, but it must number in the several hundred; I wouldn’t want to overwhelm any fledgling enthusiasts there. ;)

I found this small community just a few days ago: !cd_collectors@lemmy.sdf.org Thought it was interesting, and curious. I did not know that CDs are considered by some as collectible.

Cool find, thanks :)

What about this find makes it cool?

This is available to me on Kanopy.com through my public library. Added it to my watchlist.

In the few hours since you posted this question, to which you received no reply, you will of course have discovered the answer by other means.

So congrats! Now you know what soffit is. 👍

c. Negligently failing to warn or adequately warn Plaintiff of the gander of the mens’ room toilet…

Well, there you go: summary judgment to the Plaintiff. If you don’t tell your customers that there’s a fucking HATEFUL COBRA TURKEY keeping jealous possession of the Mens’ loo, like some latter-day dragon guarding its hoard, you deserve to be sued at the very least, and just for starters until greater commensurate punitive action can be determined.

@PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works , this was initially to be a playful ribbing of what I’d thought was a typo oversight, on your part, of transcribing text from the court document.

But seeing that it’s the actual text of the filing absolves you, and makes the typo oversight that much funnier.

Florida never fails to entertain and disappoint.

It’s not a wooosh, it’s a reply in kind, deferred.

Why would you assume anything? The answer is provided in the article itself. Why can so few people be arsed to read the information provided before leaping to an attempt at pithy commentary?

The group … views Satan not as a supernatural being but as “a literary figure that represents a metaphorical construct of rejecting tyranny over the human mind and spirit.” The club’s programs, they say, focus on “science, critical thinking, creative arts, and good works for the community.”

(Boldface mine. “science” comes to us from Latin’s “scientia”: knowledge)

The irony of assuming something instead of learning/confirming it from the information provided, as regards an article about an organization whose stated focus is on knowledge and critical thinking, is disappointing.

Fixed:

They drew bags under the basilisk’s eyes for the Harry Potter Lego set; [sic] as if it’s too tired from being woken up by kids. It’s the most relatable thing ever the skin under their eyes actually looks like that. It does.

Knight Rider vibes.

Improved.

Add more RAM.

Oh, wait…

There’s a checkbox for this in your Lemmy account settings. It’s not in any mobile client app that I’ve tried (I don’t think so, at any rate).

Admittedly I’ve tried only 3 or 4 mobile client apps, but likely it doesn’t need to be a client setting because it’s a Lemmy setting, accessed in web browser UI.

That’s a great Stephen Wright joke:

My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon’s appointments.

You’re saying is that flowers are nature’s pimp. That’s cool, I guess.

As long as flowers don’t start smacking a bee for not collecting. Feel me?

Seems to be based on the viewing client.

On desktop, no problems, obviously.

In Jerboa, text is barely readable. I can make it out if I already know what it says. Zoom appears to be capped at some percentage below 100, or the text doesn’t resolve at the client’s maximum magnification.

Jerboa screenshot:

In Connect, text is fine, but I’m having an issue with images in Connect in that when I try to scroll up or down the image, it just closes, but that’s unrelated to your question.

… and now I don’t see the yellow backgrounds anymore, either. Not in litely theme nor in darkly. But now I’m glad of my earlier screenshot, as proof of what a portion of the page looked like, even if you can’t make out any of the content.

When you followed the link to that other post, was that the first time you’d opened it? I wonder if the background shading has anything to do with new comments since the last time a post was opened by you, the reader.

Here’s another post with a lot of engagement: https://lemmy.ca/post/1404816. Right now was my first time opening it.

As of this writing, it has 61 comments. They all, whether top-level or reply-to-top-level, or deeper, have white backgrounds. I’ve saved it to follow, and when/if I see its comment count has risen, I’ll check if any of them have a differently coloured background.

Edit to update, a few minutes later:

Welp, scratch the “new comments since last viewed” hypothesis. I just opened another new (to me) thread: https://lemmy.ca/post/1410603, 134 comments. All over the place: yellow top-level comments, white top-level comments, yellow replies, white replies. Chaos? So it appeared.

Then I tried changing the ordering from Hot to something else, like New or Old. Once rearranged, I noticed that all of the yellow comments – except one – were timestamped as “4 hours ago”. Anything marked as “5 hours ago” or greater had white background.

So, new hypothesis: maybe the colour is an indication of a comment’s age, relative to the time at which you are reading it, with a threshold somewhere between the 4-5 hour mark. That seems an arbitrary figure, but just based on what I observe in that new-to-me post, that’s what I’ve come up with.
