How so?

Ever heard of what they had to do to take Rasputin out? I think its that

I mean, we did it with Linux and it didn’t cost billions…

😬

Well, because straight earth as in mudbrick (or concrete, normal bricks etc) is not insulation. That’s thermal mass. It stores energy. Insulation (like strawbales) slows heat movement. So you need insulation on the exterior and thermal mass on the interior for a properly thermally regulated building.

At 2 inches thick of limestone, you can sure bust it up with a sledgehammer or similar. A punch won’t do much more than hurt your hand. Still, if you take tools to the majority of homes they break quite fast.

Couldn’t say houw tall they can get but from memory I think I’ve seen 3 stories? Over that you’re talking more full on construction. I’ve seen a 4 story using super bales that was in an commercial carpentry shop

I built my own strawblae house and have worked on half a dozen others. I have designed 3 award winning homes, one of them was strawbale.

Mice aren’t a problem, the walls are sealed with clay (inside) and lime (outside) render, the mice can’t get in.

Same with fire, the straw is tight and sealed, they don’t burn. In huge bushfires in southern Australia a few years back, several families sheltered I a strawbale home as the fire passed.

Moisture not a problem if you have proper eaves and footings, which you will cos you design it properly, right?

Loads of massive benefits over brick or stick built.

I have no data on wolves sorry, but definitely dropbear proof

Happy to answer any questions.

A lot of ideas don’t deserve a platform or airtime and people need to realize that. The world is getting more fucked every day because people think that conservatives, fundamentalists, corporations and their bootlickers, and all the other fascist scum have a right to spew their shitty ideas for everyone to hear. Those ideas are sorthless though and they need to be silenced.

See this new article. The image database they looked into is called LAIOn. There are others though of course. I don’t mean google crawlers, I mean image databases for training image generators.

Here you go bud, no misunderstanding at all. The image generators are trained on CSAM, as I said.

I think if you read beyond Marx there are several ideas that are valid alternatives.

Look at all the seppos getting cranky at this one :) I just came in to post Seppo but you beat me

How many of usnin this country are here because exactly that situation occered in their homeland? And now they arrive here and find that instead of equal opportunity for everyone, we are actively implementing apartheid?

In this case name calling is necessary

None of that actually says anything. Its just wide open phrasing that allows for limitless scope. Can you not see that somehow?

All this is way out in the fucken weeds anyway man.

Why the fuck are people trying to create a less inclusive and egalitarian society instead of trying to find and implement actual solutions to solve the problems that exist. And why do people who apparently think of themselves as progressive and socialist think any of this is OK?

Use the mechanisms we have to push for positive long term structural change, using the huge moral and political advantage gained at the election. Build, change, organize, grow systems that actually help people who need it.

Everyone is just going along with this stupid pointless circus because they feel guilty about British crimes and think this will somehow help people who died 200 years ago.

Get a fucken grip and use your Democratic power to help, don’t throw your weight behind people who are making the world less inclusive ffs

I never said that

What bad things would those be?

What makes you think I’m unfamiliar with it? I know exactly what it says, regardless of whether I’m a shit debater

Sure, but they can certainly give it powers to make or veto economic policy, make decisions on land ownership, environmental matters, regulations, or pretty much anything else, because there is no limiting phrase around “powers”

And all this done by a group of people or an individual chosen through unspecified means with unspecified credentials.

Those specifically are what I object to

This whole thing is demagoguery on both sides. Contribute or shush yourself

And yet when I say it suddenly I’m the racist, because of my skin color, despite being from a refugee family. Its stunning
