The Kowloon Walled City is probably the closest IRL structure there is to the (thankfully) fictional hive cities depicted in the Warhammer 40000 universe. Just image that structure, except scaled upwards and outwards by thousands of times.

Look at any pure creatine monohydrate (not the ethyl ester or hydrochloride forms) from a reputable supplier. It can cause stomach upsets in some people, but 5 grams once/day is generally well-tolerated and a sufficient dose for almost

I'm genuinely curious how the model classifies holds. I could (hypothetically) see this doing something like assigning more utility to certain holds (e.g. a steep sloper that is impossible to use as a handhold but is can be used as a s

It's fairly horrifying how fast the bridge collapsed after the moment of impact on the pylon. The whole span seemed to fall in totality almost at once. If anyone was on that bridge at the moment of impact, they were in the water a coup

A lot of basic structural building materials (bricks, framing timber, roof tiles, etc.) are already fairly reusable to an extent. It's just labour-intensive to do so, therefore we often don't. I'm not optimistic that prefabbe

You might also have some level of intolerance to the so-called FODMAPs[0] (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols). Speaking from personal experience, excess consumption of foods containing one or more (not

For anybody wanting to initiate research on this topic, a recommended keyword to start with is "FODMAP diet". A lot of people exhibit food intolerances to the types of fermentable carbohydrates covered by this acronym that fall sh

As a likewise amateur woodworker, this resonated - up to a point. When I started in the hobby, I spent a lot of time in the accumulation phase which mostly consisted of buying cheap or second-hand tools to unlock specific capabilities. Just

With due respect, you've made a very poor argument here. The harms caused by many historical actions have significant, ongoing consequences to this day. You've stated that taking actions to "repair or correct" those harm
