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

2019-01-30 15:25:42 UTC  

consitering we know what causes it now

2019-01-30 15:26:32 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:26:53 UTC  

we seem to live in the future fellas

2019-01-30 15:27:25 UTC  

ah, we still only live in the present

2019-01-30 15:28:46 UTC  

yo, aircrete seems hella dope

2019-01-30 15:28:51 UTC  

yeah dude

2019-01-30 15:29:34 UTC  

yea

2019-01-30 15:30:00 UTC  

eh aircrete has the same fatal flaw as concrete

2019-01-30 15:30:11 UTC  

which is?

2019-01-30 15:30:27 UTC  

its nonrecyclible and dependent on a limited resource

2019-01-30 15:30:58 UTC  

the limited resource is sand?

2019-01-30 15:31:02 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:31:06 UTC  

and yes

2019-01-30 15:31:21 UTC  

were running out of the right kind of sand for concrete

2019-01-30 15:31:23 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:31:31 UTC  

yeah that's true

2019-01-30 15:31:37 UTC  

yes but its going to be 4 times more expensive

2019-01-30 15:31:54 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:32:01 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:32:17 UTC  

not really

2019-01-30 15:32:21 UTC  

like a concrete dome structure

2019-01-30 15:32:31 UTC  

vs a traditional wood framed house

2019-01-30 15:33:12 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:35:25 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:35:51 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:36:29 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:36:50 UTC  

dome's only problem is water

2019-01-30 15:37:15 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:37:47 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:37:49 UTC  

imo

2019-01-30 15:38:11 UTC  

europeans dont much care for dome shapes

2019-01-30 15:38:21 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:38:28 UTC  

though i kinda like it

2019-01-30 15:38:43 UTC  

im a bit fan of dragonball's aesthetic

2019-01-30 15:38:44 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:38:57 UTC  

that's a valid point

2019-01-30 15:39:04 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:39:47 UTC  

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

2019-01-30 15:39:57 UTC  

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
