   And taking this even further, they’ve recently discovered that the plastics recycling process releases unbelievable/obscene amounts of microplastics into the world’s waterways. The day I learned that I immediately stopped putting ANY plastic in my recycling bin. There’s a good chance that when I did it was either burned or landfilled anyway…

   I read that Jack Nance (main character) kept that haircut for 5 years because that’s how long it took to complete Eraserhead (very low budget film).

   Eraserhead is the one movie I had to periodically stop and just walk around my house to take a break from. But I’m glad I watched it.

   I don’t know when/where you’re basing this on, but “gay” (unless used insultingly like keffekup indicates) has not, in my experience, been an extreme insult. F*g or f*ggot is, I believe, what you’re thinking of and those ARE extremely offensive and generally followed up with a threat of gay bashing/violence.

   I lived through the 60’s and in my experience, there was no such thing as sunblock/SPF; It was all “Tanning lotion” designed to enhance your tan. There was titanium dioxide (the colored stuff surfers put on their noses), but you didn’t generally smear that all over your body.

   Visited Corpus Christi around 1971, every one of us got severely sunburned.

   We do have a much better understanding of UV damage these days.. hence the change in product available to protect us from it.

   Zap ‘em in the microwave! It’s much more spectacular (note: likely not good for your microwave and definitely not good for your lungs).

   I understand it’s pronounced more as “cutter.”
