i think the claim that we can cure alzhimers is more reliable

consitering we know what causes it now

didn't researchers in spain find what appears to be a cure for hiv/aids

we seem to live in the future fellas

ah, we still only live in the present

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2191814-we-may-finally-know-what-causes-alzheimers-and-how-to-stop-it/?fbclid=IwAR39Uj3zaHGBmCSnLWWXTl8xYgPYe5YBC2L7zuFVjhR2RQPac-sF9ivk9fM check this shit out

yo, aircrete seems hella dope

yeah dude

yea

eh aircrete has the same fatal flaw as concrete

which is?

its nonrecyclible and dependent on a limited resource

the limited resource is sand?

well ok it IS recyclible but the cost of recycling it is expensive

and yes

were running out of the right kind of sand for concrete

they are already creating methods to get sand to the desirable grain level

yeah that's true

yes but its going to be 4 times more expensive

at best they can probably get that down to only twice as expensive

a concrete building vs a wood framed building one is going to last 40x longer

not really

like a concrete dome structure

vs a traditional wood framed house

yes but traditional wood framed houses arnt actually designed for duribility and the design for duribility has degraded even further with the avent of modern technology

sure a concrete dome is basicly the most durible design you can get next to perhaps a pagoda, and it eventually trumps even that when you downscale it. just a shame no one ever makes concrete dome houses which has always bothered me especially in tornado alley where we just keep replacing houses with buildings that will fail just the same way as old ones

honestly a wooden dome could stand just as well against most problems as a concrete one

its all a matter of the shape, wind cant grab a ball, and a ball is a great shape for displacing stress from an earthquake

dome's only problem is water

a wood dome on stilts wouldent work but a concrete one would be to heavy for wind to do anything about

yeah dude, I live in the hurricane zone and they need to start building homes that way, because the storms are increasing with regularity and severity. The dome also has a very aestheticly pleasant shape and look to, building a wooden dome would be pretty hard compared to concrete

imo

europeans dont much care for dome shapes

they make amazing sealants for concrete now, you'd just have to make sure you stayed up on the sealant routine

though i kinda like it

im a bit fan of dragonball's aesthetic

euros don't have hurricanes up their ass 7 months a year

that's a valid point

americans come from the same stock of people who dont find domes aesthetic

though personally if i was in charge of the government id just force people to get domes if the state has to put emergency funds into rebuilding for them

haha yeah, but it aesthetics aside, do you want to dwell in a structure that will keep you save, or will end up looking like it went through a woodchipper with you inside of it
