Just a fun intersection of names, though maybe not new if you long-timers
are aware of it.

I started typing in p-list to find the archives and was auto-corrected to
*p**-list waste*. Found out P-List is a category of chemical waste that is
acutely toxic and "beyond hazardous".

"Both the P-and-U-Lists govern unused pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and
pesticides. The P-List contains about 239 acutely toxic substances, with
135 different waste codes. This is because some waste codes will span
several substances."
