I’m in Germany yes, that’s a good idea, thank you. The person who sold us the bricks took them out of a building in a village near Karlsruhe, he might know more about the story of that place, we definitely plan on sending him pictures of our construction and we shall ask if he knows more.

Yet, some of my favorite communities are Mildly Interesting and Mildly Infuriating.

Most definitely!

Oh yeah good question! That’s not staying like that. According to the building theory books I read a jointing in an arch can be anywhere between 5mm and 10mm of mortar inside (1/4’ to 1/2’) and up to 25mm outside (1 inch)

The empty space will be filled completely with mortar next week. It was a huge mess when laying the bricks vertically against the wooden formwork, we noticed how ugly it looked when moving it off after laying the two first slices.

The plan is to use some kind of piping bag and inject the mortar precisely in the gap, then smooth it uniformly. There are different shapes, we haven’t decided yet which one we will use:

Thank you! It will be nice to leave something tangible behind, and we learn many new skills along the way

That’s a starprick if I’m not mistaken

yeah that’s an absolutely fair point, when everything is read out loud there’s a lot of information transiting through the audio signal

I feel sorry for whoever had to sit through hours and hours of Minecraft livestreams, indie Mongolian folk and endless audiobooks of classic scifi I fall asleep to

I wasn’t gonna factcheck some banter on a meme community but yeah, the disparity is lower :)

Don’t forget that life expectancy is much lower in the states, a 30yo American is as worn out as a 40 yo European

Oh sorry I assumed Felix was a male name :)

Felix really looked like a sweet bean, I’m sorry that you lost him. It looks like he was provided a good home <3

Almost as lucky as the presence of those huge dams, imagine the floodings if they weren’t there, all that water from the lakes would destroy everything downstream

So happy for you Sanctus! I hope she’s fine. When mine disappeared for 3 days she came back really dehydrated. The vet advised us to add water to her wet food so she recovers quicker.

“teledildonics” is the most glorious word i’ve ever heard :D

my reply was more a comment on Adam’s nickname ^^

Yup, can’t eat the A of an artificial intelligence

I found this, it looks like it’s not really possible because the structure of the two services are pretty different:

Maybe there’s a reason why the comments are off on that vid :D

This was painful to watch, I would have stopped and asked her to continue on foot.
