We can’t even do an express railway neither…

(in truth it took me a few baffled minutes to get the joke, though enjoyed the background painting whilst furrowing my brow)

Stunning.

Hope the mystery signed brick will go in along with your own plaque to future humans.

Down with this milquetoast toleration of the intolerant!

They’re our structural engineer now, Dave.

Try an image search for “beam connectors” and you should get an idea of the types of things that are available, but a trip to your local builders’ merchant & a chat with the people there may be more fruitful.

To attach wood to an I-beam, you could drill holes in the flanges of the beam, then use bolts. There are also fittings that you can slide posts & beams into, with various ways of securing them to the material they hold. If you’re not using T-shaped fittings, you could bolt fittings together.

Assumed OP meant this type of thing, but yours seems more likely as it would be cheaper to buy & to install.

Snack, but only if they get a bunch of us at once, much like a solitary peanut isn’t very satisfying.

For safety, we’d come to live in fortified boxes affixed to their backs, and the distances between each of these chihuahua-mounted citadels would be ever changing as a result.

Giant chihuahuas snaffling up us tiny humans.

Often don’t need corn starch, but depends on makeup of the paper & what you want for the end use, leave to dry. Can add glues for other effects.

Tear up pieces, soak in water, squeeze out excess water, shape as needed. Adjust size of torn pieces for different structural effects, from slurry you can pipe for definition & brittle strength or compression through to large overlaid sheets for sheering strength & flexibility)

Can see how being so removed from what are standard amenities in much of the world might make one nervous of their (re)introduction, but it makes me wonder which was the chicken & which the egg.

It feels as though the price of both land & gas, back in the day, featured heavily in the tolerance of such bizarre ideas.

Good grief, it is lovely they’re trying to change the law, but saddened to learn that such small local places of all kinds were prohibited. A cafe, a newsagent, a small pharmacy within a short walk of one’s home make life so, so much more pleasant.

Grandma’s idea of cooking was shucking oysters & popping champagne to entertain her lovers, so I think she’d only disapprove of the lack of hard drugs in your kitchen.

Gonna guess that people who brag about weight loss of under an ounce weigh everything that goes in & everything that goes out!

Ah now, yer Da wouldn be one for the marrywana there.

Arrange a transfer from Russian branch to Armenian branch, withdraw money, close account.

Or just a plain withdrawal if you already have an account with them in Russia, and other banks are refusing your business.

Probably just people who can’t get less risky accounts, or who are hoping to get money out of Russia.

Eh, feels as though we’re inching into WWIII.

Yes, but first, potato.

Tbh was referring to devices generally. I don’t go near televisions today. Too big, too expensive & way too much faff.
