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: [email protected] 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.

It’s a bandwidth and resource waste: electronic, mental, temporal.

Block user, move on.

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.

@[email protected] , 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.

After receiving your prepared serving of its cut, would most likely eat itself clean to the bone before you could lift your fork.

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.

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?

You should include your URL as a header or footer on this PDF (and on the original JPEG, too) so it can be properly attributed when it inevitably gets shared.

… 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.

I don’t think it’s a question of the thread-depth line indicator.

If I’m understanding @TheShitAbyss’s question, I see the same thing in some threads, where some comments have a plain white background, and others have a pale yellow background. (The colouring may be theme dependent. I haven’t investigated that, but suffice to say that there are sometimes two different background colours on posts’ comments.)

This post has examples: [Lemmy.ca Discussion] What should we do about Lemmit.online.

At first I thought it had to do with commenters coming from local instance (lemmy.ca) or other, remote instance, but that doesn’t seem to bear out.

Then I thought it might be an indicator of top-level comment vs. reply comment, but in that post linked above, while most top-level comments are white, at least one has the yellow background (I sorted by Hot). There are replies to top-level comments also in both colours, in some cases even same-level replies to a comment, where two adjacent same-level replies have different backgrounds.

Here’s a snippet/screenshot:

(Edit: well, darn. That screenshot doesn’t serve much purpose because it’s being resized down and I don’t know how to circumvent that. It’s just a 778x941 48KB static gif uploaded to an image hosting site with a Do Not Resize My Upload option. So I’m assuming the resizing is happening on lemmy.ca server-side. Oh well. I refer interested readers to the post linked above, where this screenshot comes from.)

I’m not great at pattern detection. If there is a pattern and someone wants to crack it, or already knows what the colours mean because it’s blatantly obvious (or even explained somewhere(!)), I’m all ears.
