First acrylic painting in 2 years, a study in light #nofilter #art

If you add two pounds of sugar to literally one ton of concrete it will ruin the concrete and make it unable to set properly which is good to know if you wanna resist something being built, French anarchists used this to resist prison construction in the 80s

[catgirlcaliphate]

I’m just gonna go ahead and reblog this for purely educational purposes.

[eggcup-deactivated20180129]

added bonus is that concrete now taste good

[protect-lgbtqia-kids]

Sugar does not really do that. What you need is citric acid (you get that to get the hard water residues out of your pots/water boiler/washing machine), looks like sugar granules. Or concentrated vinegar. Cement needs a high ph to bind properly. So if you add acid, it won’t properly set and/or needs 3-4 times longer.

[femonologue]

Speaking as someone who works in the concrete forming industry: the easiest way to severely fuck up any large concrete pour is to delay it at the wrong moment.

If someone is trying to build a huge fuckoff concrete thing - say, for instance, a giant wall - they’re going to need an obscene quantity of concrete, and that’s all going to have to be transported there from the nearest mixing plant. This means they’ll have multiple trucks coming by to decant concrete in consecutive pours while the workers place it and vibrate it to ensure it all intermixes and sets properly, forming a monolithic mass. If one pour is allowed to set before the next one is added, you get a big, ugly, possibly structurally unsound gap between the two called a “cold joint.” A bad enough cold joint can completely fuck your whole project because the next engineer or inspector who sets foot on that site is going to take one look at that motherfucker and immediately embark on a quest for blood vengeance. You will literally have to cut that whole section of wall out, slap some dowels in the nearest structurally sound bits, and re-form and pour the offending segment from scratch, which represents a fortune in cost overruns and will make everyone involved very upset. This is an especially bad problem in hot climates, because the concrete curing process is exothermic - that stuff sets much faster when it’s really hot out, and its 28-day compressive strength tends to be poorer as well.

So if, hypothetically speaking, you wanted to completely shit up a wannabe dictator’s enormous unfeasible poured concrete vanity project, you could literally just randomly hassle and delay every concrete truck on its way there. Dude’s gonna end up with a giant worthless pile of shitty crumbling concrete and exposed reinforcing steel, and an army of pissed-off contractors to boot.

I’ve been staring at this for 5 minutes

That’s what it looks like. That’s really what it looks like

[avesatanaa]

Being out in the ocean is actually so scary because when you look really far out you can kind of see how the Earth is rounded out. It looks like a few miles ahead you’re just gonna fall off or something. Also fun trick: if ur on mobile, double tap zoom in and slide the picture side to side. It looks like you’re actually there looking left to right

Judge grants Oregon resident the right to be genderless

An Oregon court granted a resident's request to be legally "agender," or without gender. It's believed to be the first such case in U.S. history.

Brain: Dude.

Thomas: Yeah?

Brain: Just came up with an idea for the best thing.

Thomas: What?!

Brain: Here you go.  Create it.  Bring it into this world.

[Thing gets all crumpled the second Thomas touches it.  Guitar music stops.]

Brain: What did you just do?

Thomas: I don’t know, I just –

Man: Holy smokes, this thing looks awesome!  Hey guys, take a look at this!

[Guitar music starts again]

Brain: Nice!

Thomas: Nice!

We will be creating an anthology titled Utter Fabrication: Historical Accounts of Unusual Buildings and Structures. It will be a collection of fictional stories about haunted houses and other weird places. For this anthology, our pay will be 2¢/word.

We are particularly looking for stories from authors who are underrepresented in fiction: people of color, LGBTQ, non-Western religions and cultures.

Each story is written from the perspective of someone who has encountered this strange location. Like our regular magazine, this narrator will also have a bio. Be certain that your story meets these requirements:

❏ 1st person ❏ 500-8000 words in length ❏ Focuses on a strange building or place ❏ Not a reprint

These koi are really aggressive. But look at the markings!

[rainbowobsidianbutterfly]

Fun fact: These aren’t koi, they’re ordinary goldfish! A lot of people think that koi are just large outdoor goldfish, but they are actually separate species. However, like koi, goldfish can easily grow to tremendous sizes and live a long time, provided they’re given adequate space and nutrition.

[ignitesthestxrs]

thinking you’re running out of time is your brain lying to you.

you have a life time. you have tomorrow. time is fucking relative okay, and you’re not racing anyone here unless you have some weird bet running with someone. in which case you sort of made that bed for yourself i am sorry.

my point is, try not to let your brain trick you into thinking you are losing at life because you aren’t at x arbitrary milestone. life rarely comes down like a lightning bolt from on high and slaps you in the face. you are living now. you’re doing fine.
