Cross Polarized Plastic

Post by AlP »

Nuthin' fancy as per usual. I had some time to kill yesterday. So, an ode to the demise of plastic cutlery in Canada. Effective December 20, 2022, the manufacture and import for sale of the following harmful single-use plastics in Canada will be prohibited:
checkout bags
cutlery
foodservice ware made from, or containing, problematic plastics that are hard to recycle
stir sticks
straws (with some exceptions)
Personally, I can't say I'll miss any of this stuff as I grew up without em. I am not sure if this posting qualifies as "close-up".

Great images! Good riddance to single use plastic, though.

FWIW, there was a time (before finite element analysis) when plastic models and polarization were used to determine stress patterns. Residual stresses look cool. Bend that fork - could be a light show.

This award was inevitable and very well-deserved.
