The silicate-containing clay materials are further divided into three major groups – kaolinite, illite, and montmorillonite – based on differences in their structure and physical properties (Table 5.5).

“Miguel cheats on Xina and is so callous in his explanation of said act because it comes from a place of self sabotage” is one of those readings where I really like it’s implications and agree it’s plausible for Miguel to do that, but also think it’s harder to textually support.

The difference in Miguel’s reaction between Xina vs how he handles Gabriel is. Incredibly stark.

I think reading self sabotage here with Xina only really works with the cruelty of mocking Xina as she leaves or making a face at her that doesn’t seem to hint at remorse if you read that self sabotage as being either unconscious, or a deeply suppressed. Which are plausible for the character as I’ve said; but I’d argue aren’t supported within the textual presentation we are offered here into Miguel’s supposed emotional state.

Compare and contrast to the confrontation with Gabriel. Miguel is still being a dick, but it’s not the active aggravation like towards Xina, more a sense of condescending pity.

Most critically, you have the time to taken to offer small insight into Miguel feeling guilt at Gabriel trying to forgive him and retreating from that. It’s a reaction no one other than Miguel is privy to and hints at that feeling being aggravated and then suppressed. Most notably, it’s just. Not something we see replicated in his interaction with Xina.

I don’t think any of this particular reading I’m offering here negates the obvious regrets Miguel holds regarding Xina into the future of 2099 though.

Like regardless of whether you choose to read it as active disregard or an unconscious self sabotage (or both), it’s very obvious Miguel holds a lot of regret regarding tarnishing that friendship (and the unspoken love that was present there) and this manifests in one of the most notable ways through the ambiguity to his reaction to Lyla’s confession.

Like. You can essentially read quite a plurality into Miguel’s deflection/bemusement here. From his deeply complicated relationship to love and self hatred, to the fact that Xina becomes retroactively intrinsic to Lyla and that aspect offering the scene a completely new dimension, tinged with palpable regret.

I think it’s entirely plausible, given the ambiguity where Miguel’s reaction comes from to argue for that being present within this scene given not only its presentation, but that guilt over Xina is something we see present in Miguel.

#I don’t know if this is anything I’ve just been mulling over it #tldr I like the self sabotage reading and think it’s in character but I have my doubts about it being something you can substantially #evidence in the text #it’s weird because like. I think PAD’s authorial intent of Miguel just being a misogynist here actually makes the most sense w the #way the scene is presented. but because PAD is so allergic to having people criticise Dana the SINGULAR time Miguel verbally condescends #abt Dana is trying to bait Xina’s pride where he essentially implies she’s always been leagues smarter than Dana #which like. okay. but why wouldn’t that pattern of behaviour and thinking manifest literally anywhere else in that relationship #if you’re intending me to read this as a critical aspect to why Miguel is involved w Dana in the first place #(real reason seems to be just. this bizarre aversion 2099 has with actually having the cast react to Dana’s actions as more than #those of a hapless ingenue #) I’d like to be yknow. shown it more???? #so you’re just sitting there going why tf was Miguel so needlessly cruel to Xina because you just don’t. imo. get that much of a tangible #establishment of condescension being a cornerstone to Miguel/Dana’s relationship #so ur just like well that was needlessly cruel. and bizarrely so given how palpable Miguel’s regrets are now #so ur just left there w a scene that is structured in such a way as to characterise Miguel as supposedly #being genuinely callous to his ex lover and best friend #BUT because the condescension isn’t reinforced at all beyond that one line #appears like a bizarre one off that hints at deeper if unacknowledged feeling in Miguel #and it’s THAT tension imo between the authorial intent and it not being that well executed that actually provides the most fertile soil #as it were. for the reading that it’s a self sabotage #which again let me be clear I do enjoy and think is plausible #I just think PAD fell ass backwards into creating the circumstances that imply it sbxhxjcjc #tunes talks 2099 #long post

#sometimes u just gotta have a cringe fail weekend. is what i tell myself bc i let the fact that i forgot to check my new #email completely obliterate me. also i haven't been sleeping enough. also just the normal thoughts in my head #by which i mean the part of my brain that demands consequences for inattention by means of suffering. devine punishment. #which is irrational and annoying but knowing that doesnt seem to help. so ive just been laying here in the hopes i come unspooled and start #to disintegrate. which is annoying bc ive got stuff to do #specifically bc i am supposed to b a TA this semester. which is what i figured but also feared #so. thats gonna b a lot. tho not as much as my old school bc they dont make TAs do literally everything here apparently #but. itll b a lot. and also i have to finish signing up for classes. bc i didnt do that back in April by my brain was melting. also i have #to keep doing my job and dealing with my data. ugh. well. being a TA isnt so bad. i do like to help ppl learn even if im not very good at it #like. i struggle with thr talking to ppl part. like the transition of ny thoughts to something thst makes sense #oh well. hope i end up teaching something im not too unqualified for. i could do soils.

I've been potting up so many plants that I'm out of potting soil. Do you know how much soil I had? Do you know how much planting I have to do to run out of soil?

Turns out I did manage to grow some corn this year! I just cut it down too soon bc it looked withered. Live and learn: I didn’t water them enough

The marigolds finally bloomed! 😍

I think my leafy transplants have all given up the ghost so I planted about a dozen bush bean seeds. Hopefully, I can get them to grow enough they put roots into the soil. I need to build this soil up so next year I can actually harvest more than sunflowers!

#renee learns how to garden #I’m trying no-till #which means I cut the plants off at the top of the soil leaving the roots #reportedly this makes the soil richer #giving it structure and ability to hold water #as well as a source of nutrition #we’ll see how it goes #flowers my beloved

this is an appreciation post for foam concrete.

absolutely incredible stuff. Who looks at manufactured stone and thinks some foam would make it better? idk who it was but I love them for it.

look at this beauty I flicked from this site:

(mild trypophobia warning for the next pic from this site)

look at it!!! that is concrete!!!

it's super light, fairly strong, compacts itself (!!!!!), can be pumped, is excellent at insulation - what CAN'T it do!!

[well okay, it can't resist drying shrinkage (meaning it cracks while drying) and it isn't very good at protecting steel reinforcement from corroding (because of all the holes that can let water pool against the steel if there's any crack anywhere that lets water in), but also both these factors can be addressed by adding fibrous glass or plastic reinforcement so there's that. but ultimately it's still not as strong as regular concrete (on account of, y'know, all the holes)]

and it's made by mixing concrete with FOAM. literally! One of the usual ways of making foam concrete is just making foam and mixing it in!

Something about the juxtaposition of taking concrete, with all its connotations of being dense, solid, and hard, and then going 'I shall add bubbly foam to it :)' pleases me greatly.

so yeah, in conclusion, foam concrete ily.

#foam concrete! loved this stuff ever since I heard of it #foam concrete is actually used a lot underground! it helps stabilise soil and stop heavy structures from sinking into the ground #and it's used a LOT as insulation #but you might not realise it since it'll be plastered over and look like a regular wall/roof #tw trypophobia #placeholder tag

Part of why I like listening to Stuff You Should Know is bc I actually know next to nothing about any pop culture (seriously very little) and so I'll find out things like "did you all know John Lennon was dead??? And got shot?????" 40 years late and then move on feeling almost nothing about it

Geofoams are increasingly used in the construction industry as it helps in suppressing the noise and vibrations. In addition, it is easy to handle and does not require any special equipment for installation. The product is increasingly used in the railway track systems, below the refrigerated storage buildings, storage tanks, and others to avoid ground freezing.

The geofoams undergo chemical changes when it comes in contact with petroleum solvents. It turns into a glue-type substance, thereby losing its strength. This factor is projected to limit the use of geofoams in the construction industry which is projected to restrict the industry growth over the forecast period.

Exploring How Soil Properties Influence Earthquake Magnitude and Extent

Introduction: Earthquakes are natural phenomena that occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, causing seismic waves to ripple through the ground. While the magnitude and extent of earthquakes are primarily influenced by tectonic plate movements, the properties of the soil in a particular region play a crucial role in determining the impact of seismic activity.…
