Well, because straight earth as in mudbrick (or concrete, normal bricks etc) is not insulation. That’s thermal mass. It stores energy. Insulation (like strawbales) slows heat movement. So you need insulation on the exterior and thermal mass on the interior for a properly thermally regulated building.
At 2 inches thick of limestone, you can sure bust it up with a sledgehammer or similar. A punch won’t do much more than hurt your hand. Still, if you take tools to the majority of homes they break quite fast.
Couldn’t say houw tall they can get but from memory I think I’ve seen 3 stories? Over that you’re talking more full on construction. I’ve seen a 4 story using super bales that was in an commercial carpentry shop
I built my own strawblae house and have worked on half a dozen others. I have designed 3 award winning homes, one of them was strawbale.
Mice aren’t a problem, the walls are sealed with clay (inside) and lime (outside) render, the mice can’t get in.
Same with fire, the straw is tight and sealed, they don’t burn. In huge bushfires in southern Australia a few years back, several families sheltered I a strawbale home as the fire passed.
Moisture not a problem if you have proper eaves and footings, which you will cos you design it properly, right?
Loads of massive benefits over brick or stick built.
I have no data on wolves sorry, but definitely dropbear proof
Happy to answer any questions.
What a fucking joke. Those monocle wearing cunts at Davos are the biggest threat humanity faces and they fucking know it.
Eat The motherfucking Rich
Haha “entry level school homework Mac” Hahahahaha Sure thing Richy Rich
Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though
Linux users install chrome now…?
Also walkable towns and cities. Also public and community spaces. Also strong interconnected communities. All these things are bad for capitalism and the ruling class and their enforcers though so don’t expect to see any change in the policy of dismantling communities
M$ can get absolutely fucked
Why the fuck am I now sitting here reading US economic/political propaganda on the technology feed? GTFO
Poor education standards I’d say
Its been a while, but i dusted this off just for you:
GTFO
I can assure you, it is not.
They never left bud
Its a bit of drama but if you have a look at setting up qemu with virtual machine manager its worthwhile.
It makes virtual machines that directly utilize the hardware, meaning you can run your stripped out windows inside a window on your Linux desktop.
Its pretty hard to get your GPU to pass through but if its non-gpu oriented apps you need its perfect. My fixed windows VM boots in about 10 seconds, has next to zero network usage, uses 2 cpus and 4gb of ram, and just runs its couple of little apps no trouble every day
Are you a builder? Do you have any experience installing and maintaining green roofs? Your assertion than you’d typically use several waterproofing layers suggests not. I have experience building these systems in the real world and the documentation to support their use. BTW - flat roofs aren’t a thing. Expect in traditional building in desert areas. “Flat” roofs aren’t flat.
Not if you use a waterproof base layer. This isn’t some theoretical thing, its tried and tested technology in common use
Yeah I think that’s kinda the point. Fedora does a bunch of things in really specific ways that aren’t at all like Debian based distros or Mac or windows. Eg - Selinux. So you, initial experience is pretty poor if you don’t know a decent amount about what’s going on
Trees? Not many. Grasses, herbs, wildflowers, and shrubs? Tons of them. And you can pretty easily retrofit over an existing sloped roof. And the weight is no more than a tiled roof.
If only there were some tried and tested method for the working class to join together and create a power block equal to the company in order to negotiate better pay and conditions and avoid these outrageous tactics. Pity
