Everyone knew a second wave was going to happen..... every single pandemic in human history has had a second wave.

The vast majority of people in COVID ICU are overweight. So some personal responsibility must be taken, can't blame everything on the government.

People need to not be idiots and social distance, especially if they are at risk.

Was meant to hear back from that interview today.

Still nothing so I assume my time doesn't warrant a phonecall, but rather an email later in the week when they remember.

I'm very arsey tonight.

Any Glaswegians around? I ask because my son is in Glasgow, I recently sent him some stuff and it got stuck somewhere down south and now it is being sent back to me. So sending Christmas presents is going to be problematic. Any cool shops in Glasgow that might deliver locally would be greatly appreciated.

It's not that bad, a few graphical glitches and some blurry textures but seems enjoyable

The city is absolutely lifeless though

I think the only thing I miss about EAST LONDON at this point is some of the food options you get.

Grilled cheese haggis sandwiches have opened my eyes to a whole new way of sliding into obesity.

Ratty explained it but here is something from the construction perspective:

You can recycle existing asphalt roads (I want to call it a pavement but iirc a pavement is not pavement but a sidewalk in here idk, the black hard surface you drive cars on it) with an efficiency of 10% to 30%. Meaning that the oxidized and hardened asphalt requires additional virgin bitumen+aggregate mixtures due to the breakdown of "soft" compounds that give the asphalt elasticity.

This is not necessarily an investment/returns problem at this point. It makes perfect sense for everyone if it was possible to utilize 100% of the RAP (recycled asphalt pavement) with losses due to the recycling procedures and it would be still an amazing environmental and monetary win. Cue the nerds (including me) working on alternative ways to increase the percentage of usable material in RAP. There are chemical compounds called "rejuvenators" that push the effectiveness of recycling and re-using effectiveness. It's not massive in numbers like 4% to 7% in some cases but if you apply that to country-wide it makes a huge difference.

The calculations on "carbon neutral/zero/negative" usually involves compensation for unavoidable processes. You have to balance the impact of making the rejuvenators vs the amount of recovery they provide. More research brings better and less carbon-intensive procedures.

There was a nice group of people I met in Birmingham who have an aggregate product that has negative carbon emission. They solidify industrial waste with carbon dioxide treatment which literally removes carbon from the atmosphere when calculated but not necessarily during the production phase if that makes any sense. The aggregate sales for a good price and they make a good business out of it but it is, due to technical limitations, not suitable for certain types of asphalt (Stone Mastic Asphalt requires much high performing aggregates) yet, which prevents it from becoming more popular. Germany, Netherlands, France and Murican's have good research on this subject as well. Imperial College has a neat Master's Degree under Civil engineering covering these subjects which I want to apply but lmao international fees (32k a year, yikeseroo).

Research takes time and money, as well as people that desire to be doing something that will bore the bollocks out of people during dates
