Its best to take and use the principles of it in another house. I personally don't want a bunch of tires breaking down and leaking chemicals and fumes into my house over a couple decades. Also much of the savings are from using your labor or volunteer/intern labor rather than paying someone else.
Its such a shame that a great sustainability project is ruined by some weird drive to "recycle" something stupid like tires. Just buy the effing bricks, have a construction company do it, have a factory safely recycle the tyres, and we can all save the environment. It strikes me as a very, for lack of a better term, misguided "hippy" commune kinda thing.
Yeah, and it will never get approved in any of the 10,000 zoning districts in the US. You should grab a random township zoning PDF and read the entire thing before even thinking about building something under 1600 sq ft, and that doesn't use materials from your local building supplier.
If its worth it for you then thats great. But at least the original earth ship requires packing like a hundred or two tires without power tools. There are machines that make bricks out of earth and there is probably a way to use recycled material to hold those to together in the same way as tires
Washing your hands is an inherent downside to washing your hands. Its tedious, annoying, and many people get dry skin or are allergic to commonly used scented soaps. There is no evidence that that how regular people wash there hands is effective.
Washing your hands doesn't require your hands remain soaped up as you go about your day. "Washing hands" takes a few seconds, then it's over. Your analogy doesn't work.
Nobody knows you washed your hands 2 minutes ago, but everyone knows you put a mask on 2 minutes ago because your face is covered, and your words are muffled.
No, n95 and better masks have been proven conclusively to protect against it. If your mask isn't fitted right it wont work obviously and surgical masks are not effective. If you are going to be in a poorly ventilated space with someone for an extended period of time an n99 may be better. But otherwise n95s are very effective.
I'm not familiar with any country that mandated or adequately supplies n95s to their citizens.
There's a the question of whether masks can be effective (even without a study, common sense says they are against a respiratory virus) vs. the question of whether they are effective, given actual use.
There's a good argument that idealized use of masks would have been beneficial, but actual use was likely neutral, or even counter productive (caused more unintended harms than prevented infections).
You've got a like 1/9 chance of dying by 21 I've heard. It's probably wrong but a decent amount of people die before they are able to have kids so they add a 0.1 to the replacement level.
I mean if you never actually switched to a municipal service than it doesn't really count as a refutation. I thought seattle had issues doing this sort of stuff in general.
I was asking about some details from some of kafka's stories as I hadn't read them in a while and wanted to check but search engines seem useless nowadays. It either said how it is not mentioned or significant and when I say it is mentioned it will just make stuff up
I don't think its just the pressure since meat is mostly water which doesn't compress. Its that they are going from a normal one atmosphere of pressure to 400 atmospheres instantly which is pretty violent.
I think you might still run into rejection with that since its like not in sync with their immune system. So it would probably be better to temporarily have them on a pacemaker or mechanical heart while you grow a heart inside of them to replace the old one. Or the equivalent for other organs.
What does it mean to be "in sync" with an immune system?
AFAIK the immune systems works through antigen detection, the antigens that your immune system recognise as your own are innate to your own cells and are expressed automatically
