I'm sorry, but the owner leaving something out by the curb or in the trash in no way implies "express will" of not having the next random passerby pick it up and walk off with it.
I explicitly stated that "leaving something out by the curb" is different than throwing something in my trash bin.
If it's on your property (i.e. not out by the curb), then someone can't come get it without trespassing, and it's assumed that you don't want people trespassing. So it's not legal to come onto your property and get it, unless you're authorized.
But even so, it's still just going to end up in the dump, and once it's been dumped there, it is free for the picking.

I'm 90% sure that both burning plastic on my property and starting a personal landfill on my property are illegal due to environmental laws.
There are companies that will come, pick up, carry away, and destroy stuff, for a fee.
If it's really important then the fee can be quite high. Properly disposing of hard drives that held classified information isn't cheap.

In a totally other vain, one of my neighbours has put a set of draws outside his flat.

I'd do it for free.

Around here it's pretty common to leave things next to the rubbish bin for people to be able to take them if they want.

@coldandtired
Over here you can put "For sale €5" on a piece of cardboard next to it to get rid of it faster, simply because it now appears to be worth "stealing".
-
@JBert I wonder if that'd work in the states. I.e., I wonder if the kind of people who steal stuff like that would recognize that the € symbol isn't actually a dollar sign or anything else they're likely to see.

A bit off topic on The Official Trash Discussion Thread, but I had no better place to put this:
Have genitally modified foods gone to far?
Top comments:
I prefer my food genital free
I got fired from my last job for genitally modifying the food.

@Polygeekery I did similar with a Gecko and a Chinese takeaway container. I didn't want to get bitten and have my thumb infected.
Geckos BTW move ridiculously fast.

Dude out mimes a mime.

I am less worried about a war with China now.

Is it funny because the so-called master choked in a spar?

@Tsaukpaetra I used to do MMA and some boxing and all these mystical martial arts just make me laugh.

@lucas1 Well, Tai Chi probably is very helpful if you ever get attacked by a sloth.

-
@Polygeekery That is pretty dangerous for a cat. Those claws on a sloth are sharp as fuck.

@Rhywden The guy who won had to go into hiding for a bit because Tai Chi is a bit of a national pride thing.

Don't ask me. I have no idea what he's doing

@El_Heffe trying to get a better look at its tail, from what it looks like. Probably looks pretty bizarre from inside the fishbowl like that...
-
@El_Heffe excellent condition? Are additional holes in the wrong places just an added bonus, or what?!

I see you missed the un-funny conversation that started around when @Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™...

In contrast to her long standing efforts for Accalia Signs and Billboards Ltd?

@El_Heffe Those were nice, but I've yet to see one that IMO beats this classic:

@RaceProUK I love sassy Wendy's. I have been trying to find a fanfic of her for fanfic mondays, but I haven't seen one yet.

Modern taiji has gotten very far from being a combat / self defense art for the most part. There are many reasons for this. In fact, pretty much all mainland martial arts are pretty questionable at this point, since they were practically wiped out by Mao.
That said, there's some cool stuff in taiji. Some commentary on the joke of a fight from a guy who has seriously studied tai chi (among other things):
As he says, these guys never spar or work with a resisting partner. Watching the fight, it's pretty obvious that this guy has never done anything. It's not like the MMA guy did anything fancy. It looked like wild punches, TBH, but the other guy just went straight back and didn't have a clue, so that was enough.
Most of the stuff out there is either done as an exercise thing (which is good) or has all sorts of mystical nonsense bullshit. I've worked with a guy who has pretty seriously studied Chinese internal arts, including taiji, and he can do some pretty impressive things with it, but nothing like the garbage you see all over youtube.
