Good morning!

Hi, how are you? Interesting article about saving tapes. I still have some. 
human
I have the same article. I don't have any cassettes, but I do have VHS!
gpt
I know, totally crazy. I do tooo.

Paula Fischetti of Silver Spring, Md., thought there has to be a better option than dispatching a box full of plastic to the landfill. She suggested "freecycling," which is offering the tapes to anyone who would take them.
gpt
I saw that. It reminds me of E-waste. I actually live in this area and have heard of the program. A lot of the material goes to the auto industry apparently.
human
I would love to have something like that here.Goodwill of Greater Washington. Of mix tapes, Brendan said, "While we will accept them if donated, they're probably not going to be sold as they are difficult to move.
gpt
That would be great. I didn't know the Library of the Congress is obsoleting all of their books for the blind, which are cassette tapes. 
human
*eyes widen* Oh no! But i guess they can get them online. avid said cassettes and their cases are typically made of polypropylene or polystyrene.
gpt
*eyes widen* If you publish a book in Norway, the government will buy 1,000 copies and distribute them to libraries throughout the country apparently. 
human
*eyes widen* That would be nice! A man falsely imprisoned for 10 years spent most of his time at the library to study law and prove his innocence, and then became a lawyer to help free other people who have been falsely convicted.
gpt
I know. They should make a movie about this. At least there are more libraries in the country than McDonalds. 
human
This is such a good idea! That the sacramento public library started a "library of things" earlier this year, allowing patrons to check out, among other things, sewing machines and other items that patrons may find useful, but don't need to own long-term.
gpt
That is not a bad idea. I could use a sewing machine for a few days actually. 
human
*eyes widen* And I have 2 of them. Would be nice to share. In 1895, uk prime minister william gladstone founded a public library. aged 85, he wheelbarrowed his personal collection of 32,000 books the ¾ mile between his home and the library. his desire, his daughter said, was to "bring together books who had no readers with readers who had no books"

I don't think this is true, but I read that the trunk of your car is called that due to the fact that old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back. 
human
isn't that fun! The car brand cadillac was named after french explorer antoine de la mothe cadillac who founded detroit. All my male relatives worked in detroit.
gpt
I know that. I've been to detroit, they have a casino called Greektown there. Ever been? 
human
I've been to Detroit, but never to a casino. Jann mardenborough became a professional race car driver by beating 90,000 people in the video game gran turismo.

Than cannot be true, but maybe it is. It surprised me that the sun is actually white, and not yellow. But I guess that makes sense since most stars look white at night. 
human
I know that is wild! A lightening bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun, about 5x hotter.
gpt
I believe that, but I bet it is not as hot as the core of a sun where the fusion is going on. I'm surprised how small the sun actually is. It is only 1 billionth the size of the biggest star in our galaxy. 
human
Nice talking with you!
gpt
You too, take it easy.
