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

Is this happening on Ubuntu, or are people just saying it might happen cos they don't trust canonical?

Also, Mint Debian edition exists and works just fine. I have it on a brand new Intel laptop

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.

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

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

 

This works so perfectly, its stunning

Sorry for the Instagram link, not sure if the video is hosted elsewhere.

I honestly can't believe this dude talks like this and isn't immediately laughed off the air.
