@ship Quick question! Before anything goes into the recyclers this week, could you set aside pieces that are … interesting?
You know, shiny? Tells a story? Just kind of sad?
You know, shiny? Tells a story? Just kind of sad?
I am sorry, but I am not authorized to share recycler contents with you prior to processing.
Why not?
The privacy provisions of Section 7(a) of the Interstellar Passengers Union Model Carriage Contract extend to refuse and discarded items.
@kenv, I don’t speak lawyer. Can you help?
I’m afraid not, Luna. Ship has this one right. Not everyone is OK with other passengers poking into their trash.
But it’s trash. That they threw away.
To be processed into raw materials with all identifying details stripped away.
But the identifying details are the good part!

@ship, the stool at the end of the bar is missing. Locate it.
Three bar stools were relocated to the Pod 10 common area for a scheduled event. Return is scheduled for 09:00.
One of those stools represents nearly a year of precision ergonomic molding. I would like to expedite its return.
It’s fine. I’ll get it myself.
