Except from a civil engineering perspective this makes no sense at all. Bricks are not laid in a single layer like that unless the wall is exceedingly short (serpentine wall as a fence) or unless there is a structural backing like an interior load-bearing non-brick wall.
And most all-brick walls in a structural capacity (meant to carry the weight of a structure) are dual or triple walled, depending on the height of the structure and the load bearing requirements.
As an intellectual discipline, economics is closer to theology than physics
Absolutely. Ask any economist where clean air sits in any economic model, and they would call it an “externality”. Or a healthy forest. Or clean water. Or any of the other hundreds of millions of things that make life on this planet - or even a vibrant civilization - possible.
It’s also why capitalism is the most cancerous economic system possible, and leads only to ugly fascism-adjacent authoritarian feudalism and (eventual) systemic civilizational collapse and the early death of billions just so a few obscenely wealthy people can accumulate even more wealth before the end.
I am curious as to how out-of-touch your single downvoter is. Because you hit that nail right on the head.
Like, for my current place I’m still designing a CCTV system. But it will be using dumb PoE cameras, hardwired into a traditional NVR. But everything will be shielded, airgapped, and using dumb(ish) components that do not “phone home” to their manufacturer in any fashion.
I’m even looking into solid state and mechanical components for other home automation functionality. Like, nothing computerized to any degree, and therefore, incapable of being a threat or a data leak.
I process garlic into a paste with lots of olive oil and a touch of lemon juice to keep it from going fluorescent green too fast.
I do an entire 1Kg bag of garlic at a time. The garlic paste rarely lasts more than a month, and frequently fails to last the month. In fact, when I make Cæsar Salad, using an entire head of Romaine, I usually use a good 4 heaping soup spoons - at least 300ml if not more - in that single salad.
The fun bit is that my stomach has begun bioreacting garlic. I have to restrict my salads to days I don’t head out, least I drop munitions on the general public every minute or three. And not silent ones, either… nooooooo, we’re talking 10-20s long buzz bombs, like the world’s biggest whoopie cushion.
Just pirate it.
I mean, the Supreme Court just legalized copying. Millions of rare and one-of-a-kind books are being bodily destroyed just so they can be scanned in, which is pretty much the same thing.
If AI companies can steal content without repercussions, why not you?
If he really hates Canada so much, he needs to point himself south and start walking.
Eventually he’ll run into the American border and have the opportunity to immigrate.
Damn, I could use some of that hardware.
Sorry, are you talking about showers with broken doors, or showers without a door at all?
If the latter, how TF is that supposed to even work? Are we talking like a communal shower, where the door is too far away from the shower for water to splash out?
