The Star Wars universe has faster-than-light space travel, laser swords, sentient robots and unparalleled floor-buffing technology, but their waste disposal methods still amount to just piling up mountains of garbage all over the place.

The Death Star is a fully self-contained biodome in space. That garbage is sorted, melted down, and then recycled into Highly Effective :tm: Stormtrooper Armor.

Well, I don’t know about bootblacks at an airport, but I’m mighty peeved I can’t find a shoeshine any more at a few designated places about town.

Yeah, I know in theory how to shine those few shoes I use (rarely) that require the treatment, but, c’mon! I also know how scissors work, but I choose to not cut my own hair unless I’m raging drunk and feel like doing some damage and making a giant mess of my bathroom.

Completely random “thought”: Pat Martino has the tone, the concept, the execution.

I believe you mean “soaking it in a sustainable Dianogu environmental pool”. The Dianogu is a critical component of the sorting process. Primarily by eating whatever organic material falls into the compactor.

Second thought is how bad are the ads that inevitably stream from the screen trying to sell you more stuff as you try to enjoy your meal?

I heard “leisurely” used as an adverb in a documentary the other day and it occurred to me that it rarely is in everyday conversation. “Leisurely swim” sounds perfectly normal, “swim leisurely” made me think about it for a second.

The latter use does sound odd, but “leisurely” in general doesn’t pop up for me that often. For some reason it brings to mind a certain John Waters-esque someone apologizing for “scanty” details.

But ‘leisurely swim’ would be a split infinitive, which is grammatically incorrect. However, we seem to like them anyway, i.e. “to boldly go where no one has gone before” or “he suddenly stopped the car.”
