[an-asuryampasya]

man one of these days I'll cave and end up making a post that romanticises the heck out of concrete

#pretty sure i know what it'll end up being about too: how concrete is forever singing the song of its life and pain #but we could never hear it #until we learnt that the world has so much more to tell us than we realised #and we put that yearning to hear more to science #and developed instruments that /can/ hear and interpret the world for us #and so today we can just hold up a machine to the concrete wall #to hear the song of how it came to be and what it experienced #or something along those lines idk #placeholder tag #fucking love concrete technology #it's FASCINATING #consider me a lifelong proponent of how concrete tech can be surprisingly wonderful but woefully underappreciated #i think i may have misused the word proponent there but bleh i can't think of the right one #concrete technology

Bendable Concrete Block: A Revolution in Construction Material

Introduction In the vast realm of construction materials, a revolution is taking place: bendable concrete blocks. Imagine a world where concrete – a brittle, rigid material – can flex and self-repair. Sounds like a fantasy, right? However, researchers and engineers are turning this dream into reality, using a remarkable fusion of innovation, scientific discovery, and technological application.…

This is soooooo interesting. The Romans were the ancient world’s materials-technology engineers par excellence: this is just another example of it.

Creep in Concrete - What are the Factors?

Creep in Concrete – What are the Factors?

When concrete is loaded, the structure undergoes elastic and inelastic distortions. Elastic distortions do incontinently after the concrete is subordinated to a given cargo, according to Hooke’s Law. Inelastic distortions increase with time as the concrete gests a sustained cargo. This inelastic distortion, also known as creep, increases at a dwindling rate during the lading period. During the…

Also ppl aren't gonna like to hear this but afaict the only currently existing legal form that has requisite variety to deal with copyright attribution in the age of AI image generation - *besides "fanfiction's illegal now and the ATF has your IP fucko"* - likely involves blockchain (or some other immutable distributed ledger)

#reblogs....off! #before anyone asks no i dont personally support that #unless u think this is the complete unwinding of copyright as a whole 🤷‍♀️ good luck w thet #also blockchain doesnt necessarily mean crypto but one can imagine thats gonna be tied together w it #like for all the clowning ai is a concrete phase change in technological capacity #if we're materialists we recognize that the legal forms of property ownership adapt to that

My professor, expecting a normal and informative final exam (written)

Me:

Have you heard about our lord and saviour

Roman Concrete?

#so initially I thought I was writing a normal essay #but after I reviewed it I realized the WHOLE THING just a 1400 word testimate to Roman concrete #we got to pick our topics out of a list #and some how I ended up just picking all the ones that let me write about concrete #Roman concrete was half a lecture and I managed to relate it to damn near every other lecture in the course #what makes it even better is the final question was ‘what is the most important technological invention in the Greco Roman era’ #and I think we all know what I put as the answer #roman concrete

[ancientorigins]

The latest finding in the ongoing saga of discovering the secrets of the ridiculously durable Roman concrete is that its composition allowed it to self-heal. Unbelievable stuff!

Emelia sent this , as a suggestion of what she thinks your world looks like.

This is Taken from 'Ghostrunner' , a game on steam.

Dark, desolate streets overrun by Technology, and tags. Maybe the lower-income side of the city. Maybe your world is not unapologetically futuristic. But it's a neat thought. She had this type of area in mind when she heard of your little world. And wanted to give me an idea about an expansive and futuristic stage for a story.

So cool! I always loved this aesthetic... Ah... You can smell the human rights violations...

As for my story, we will eventually see what their cities look like :]

#devarambles #Not everything will be neon and dark concrete #though that is certainly very fun #Some areas dont even look too technologically advanced depending on the era they were built in post-reset. #Technology is wonderfully limited in areas that could launch humanity further as a species and prolific in all the worst ways #Populations are large and overcrowded in cities while entire expanses of continental land remain barren for governmental purposes #Humans and Variants have both forgotten their true origins... #That's about what I can say about SYSTEMA

Breakthrough to Circular and Emission-Free Building - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/breakthrough-to-circular-and-emission-free-building-technology-org/

Breakthrough to Circular and Emission-Free Building - Technology Org

The building industry faces enormous challenges. By 2050, the built environment must not only be emission-free, but also circular.

Within the NWA programme titled ‘Transition to a circular and emission-free building industry’, UT is contributing to research to facilitate the transition required to meet these challenges. UT researcher Marc van den Berg (Faculty of Engineering Technology) and colleagues are focusing on the digital aspects of supporting material reuse and recycling processes as part of this research.

Renovation projects are complex challenges characterised by intensive decision-making and organisational activities. Such projects connect a variety of otherwise fragmented disciplines, including designers, builders and demolition companies.

Crucial for fostering more circular renovation practices with lower emissions is the availability of information on reusable materials and design strategies which factor in the preservation of existing value.

Collaborative, Digitised and Integral Processes to Achieve Circular and Emission-Free Renovation (PACER)

The PACER (Collaborative, Digitised and Integral Processes to Achieve Circular and Emission-Free Renovation) project, in which UT is represented, aims to provide collaborative, digitised, integral processes, tools, and legal and economic frameworks to achieve circular and emission-free renovation practices.

Dutch Research Agenda (NWA)

This programme of the Dutch Research Agenda (NWA) focuses on existing buildings and invites interdisciplinary consortia to investigate how buildings can be renovated in a circular and emission-free manner by studying a concrete case at the street or neighbourhood level. Societal and technical perspectives of circular and emission-free construction are jointly included.

Transition of the construction sector

The aim of the thematic NWA programme titled ‘Transition to a circular and emission-free building industry’ is to achieve breakthroughs and develop action perspectives that contribute to the transition of the building industry, primarily in relation to renovation projects. The NWA programme is organised in association with the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, NWO and the Taskforce for Applied Research SIA.

Within the NWA programme, two broad multidisciplinary consortia will spend the next five years carrying out research to advance the transition to circular and emission-free building, with significant involvement of professional experts in the sector. The total funding awarded under the programme is approximately €2,865,000.

Lostech

For a clear example of how mere knowledge that something was once possible, surviving examples of a thing, or even partial records of production are of very limited benefit in rediscovering how to manufacture a lost technology, look no further than Roman concrete.

grababing yiu!! didi yiu know that in that one picturue i saw the creator of witchKs heart drawing. claire laugh in hiragan ahshe llaugh in katakakan WHICHC SIMTHE FORGH WOROD SNAND AHSHEHE ISIS SUSPSPOED TO BE TRAVAVELR SO HE’S SUSPPSOED TO NOT NATIV EOAMGUAGEE IS THEHRE???

WAIT THAT'S. A REALLY COOL DETAIL

i like to think about how many languages Ashe must have learned in his travels. The witch's heart is an important myth from many cultures, and so Ashe has no real limits to where he could find it. He may label himself as a traveler, but he's a wanderer, knowing what he wants but not knowing where to find it or if it's even a thing.

But that's likely a huge driving factor for the way he speaks! Like you said, he's not from around here, but passes through almost everywhere. He's picked up bits of accents and slang from all over, but holds true to his native way of speaking (perhaps out of fear of forgetting his family?) -- explaining why he's often seen to speak strangely at times.

But he's probably not a native speaker of the language, or at least the dialect that Claire, Sirius, and Noel speak.

Wilardo's a similar but slightly different case, actually, due to his travels literally across the world, and I think he symbolizes what Ashe is fated to become: a hopeless wanderer with only a goal and not a place.

#i wish there were more... concrete world building for the witch's heart world #like. whats the main religion #why are there CDs and witches burning at the stake within 10 years? #what the hell is going on with the architecture? what are the main world powers? what's technology like?? #because there's modern kitchens and toilets in the bathroom but apparently no system of ID #gasoline is widely available #Colorado exists. #all major context clues point to WH happening in the 1910 #s / 1920s era but ???? FRIDGES???? #goodness I'm sorry but i am truly confounded here and got lost on a tangent #witch's heart

SNAP if youre going to stream tmrw then uhh what platform are you streaming on 👉👈

IF THINGS GO RIGHT i'll be streaming on picarto here starting at around 3PM EST and going for about two hours or so (3PM ~ 5PM) ♪(´▽｀) i'll make sure to let people know beforehand though- i dont want a repeat of last time（；´x｀）

#snap chats #i think i'll go for about two hours anyway- thats how long it takes for me to do a quick drawing #and ngl i might have a sketch done beforehand but ill do my best to refrain so MAYBE we can watch me draw somethin start to finish #its just that i know i might get performance anxiety when its time to start but im trying to stop being so anxious #ANYWAY THIS ISNT CONCRETE it's HOPEFUL but technology hates me.......
