I think the bad ones...and it's actually from other environmental pollutant bioaccumulation...so if you could separate plastics out that'd be less of a potential issue
Plastic eating mushrooms: a viable solution to plastic decomposition
The Pestalotiopsis genus of fungi is capable of degrading certain forms of plastic, making it a viable solution to eliminate some plastics from landfills.
Can Mushrooms Really Break Down Plastic? - EcoWatch
Scientists are turning to mushrooms and mycoremediation to solve our plastic pollution crisis. Plastic doesn’t decompose, but breaks down.

Sure. They mention that the bacterium they used is in the soil. The clever thing is that this solves the problem of getting them together with the plastic, dramatically increasing the amount of it decomposed in the five months time they studied, going from half gone to over 90% gone. Plus, the spores in the plastic actually make the plastic stronger because of the way they bind to the polymers. Very clever.

Remember when we were told plastics would NEVER go away and they'd be around for centuries after we were gone? Glad science can find a way!!

My first experience to Golden Earring. I’m 17 and my brother in law recruited me to play shortstop for his slow pitch softball team for a tournament. Never played slow pitch softball before, but he’d seen me play shortstop in baseball and in a fast pitch softball league.
I didn’t know anyone on the team except him so I show up at the field and there’s another truck there. The guy tells me he’s the pitcher and says I can wait with him so I climb in his truck. For the next 20 minutes, he blares Twilight zone on repeat while getting high….at 8AM.
Guy was a great pitcher (unlimited arc) and we won the tournament. Still love that song.

Rare to find someone else who played fast pitch softball. It's a great game, I liked playing it better than baseball. Too bad it seems to have mostly died out for men, I'm sure mostly due to the lack of pitchers.

Help me out, locals... I mentioned on Discord that I don't like sweet potatoes. Someone asked me, as a result, if I was declaring war on North Carolina.
Are they really popular there or something?

I mean they are okay.
I dont like them either really. I also dont like sauerkraut and my mother is German. Sauerkraut is polish though.
Its an odd ask. I eman it's not like you said BBQ shouldnt have vinegar in it or something.

I love them. That said, I would gather that the comment is not you are declaring war on North Carolinians, but the state itself. As North Carolinians, we probably are the same as everywhere else on our like or dislike of sweet potatoes, but North Carolina is the largest sweet potato producer in the US. I would guess that is where the comment is coming from.

Nah sweet potatoes are alright, but not worth battling over unless you're like country country.
Say one wrong word about NC BBQ and hands will be thrown. And choose your sauce (vinegar vs ketchup based) carefully.

I had sweet potato fries for the first time a few months ago and was very surprised at how much I liked them. Im not a huge sweet potato guys but think they are alright with certain foods, in certain dishes. I really liked the fires though.
MUSTARD!

The sauce I'm going to be making for dinner tonight is vinegar-based with brown sugar.

To be fair, this seems more like a regular cause of death rather than "Guy who said 'If I die, it's not suicide' suddenly committing suicide"
Seems like he caught pneumonia while at the hospital and died from complications from that.

With all this sweet potato talk, I've got one thing to say.....bless your hearts.

What's a good authentic Carolina-style barbecue sauce recipe look like? I want to make one for dinner.

Not using a premade sauce. I want to make one from scratch.
