RAAC City ft. Well There's Your Problem

In case anyone still reads this, the current labour government has promised to remove all RAAC from schools by 2029. I wish them good luck.

Well there's you're school

The Cowboy Surveyer sounds like a Western style Saloon that's also a Gay Bar popular for cruising.

To answer Rocz' question "who gets more left wing in office?" the funniest example I can think of is Juan Velasco Alverado, who led a coup in Peru in 68, and everyone was expecting this ludicrous fascist rule, and instead they did a major programme of land reforms and nationalisation of oil and mineral assets as well as the banks, effectively ending the status quo of serfs and landowners and setting the country up as a social democracy. Lots of that got rolled back by his successor and Fujimoto, and Abimael Guzman continued to be the worst, most annoying Maoist ever with the shining path.

8/10, not enough slides

I look forward to the oncoming crisis of teens without schools or whippets in towns covered by those weird mosquito devices.

UK Dragon Age fans, Starmer is your Solas and it's not going to be sexy.

Been thinking about “the unbearable lightness of British concrete” roughly once an hour for the last few days

off topic, but the Neom alert just rang and the predictions are in https://x.com/manifoldmarkets/status/1701734101886398666?s=46&t=OLcqTsR8-e0ieT6B8-eLMw

Milo, cheers for not one, but two references to Riley's favorite episode, "A Cheeky Coup with the Lads (feat. Joe Kassabian)".

WTYP episode on the School District of Philadelphia Asbestos crisis when - the district got somewhat more serious about it after the BOE Chair’s kids’ school had to close suddenly. https://www.audacy.com/kywnewsradio/news/local/school-district-philadelphia-asbestos-plaster-samples-records

I’m just really happy I heard Liam mention Crossmaglen

Listening to the trade magazines segment in intense psychic pain because i used to do PR for a construction consultant so I had to be intimately familiar with the editorial board of Building Magazine. I can also confirm that there is a concrete magazine, and I once had to write a 2,000 word byline article for a magazine that exclusively covered glass.

Looking forward to British journalists feverishly looking into records of children who die under these schools so that they can proclaim these kids deserved to be crushed to death because they had been caught vaping once. Building the red army is self-defense, make no excuses for the terror

the entirety of british of infrastructure operating on rushed game dev rules wherein if one out of bounds asset named rebar.fbx is deleted the entire system collapses

Re: politicians getting more left-wing in office, the only example I can think of is Fidel Castro (who went from “keeping capitalism is fine, but we need some land reform” to proclaiming Cuba socialist. Notably, a significant portion of that was due to the USA’s refusal to tolerate the milder left-wing platform). On the other hand, I can think of two politicians who became more left-wing relative to their past self on specific issues: Abraham Lincoln (on the issue of what to do with “the blacks” after slavery was ended) and Barack Obama (on the Gay Marriage issue, although he was defeated pushed to that position by broader societal change.

that's funny, me and my dad used some of this shit to build storage sheds. It's pretty cool for that, it's better at being a side wall than just about any other cladding, weighs about the same as sheetrock, can be scewed on like drywall, doesn't require any specialty tools or formwork, no fiddly mixing, no masonry experience. But as a steel reinforced material for *roofs*. good god

was anyone else in Merseyside circa 2014 when they started rebuilding a bunch of schools and the new ones were consistently big glass boxes containing a bunch of smaller glass boxes instead of classrooms (had a fun sort of blinding magnifying glass effect when the sun was out), lots of big steps and heavy benches instead of chairs, absolutely none of it fit for purpose or able to accommodate the existing number of students? Only worth mentioning that you can 100% guarantee even if any new schools Do get built they will be uhhhhh useless

Das con crete baybee

drain joke took me out

A second building has hit the tower

*Gerry Adams voice* Our revenge will be the chemically-induced laughter of their children.

very relaxing episode

as someone who had to return to my school days after a massive earthquake and years before the dept of building inspection bothered to got a look in, solidarity w the british schoolchildren

Anyway yeah come see my band ‘100% Horse Torture’ live

Was austerity an end to pissing money up the wall? My understanding was it was mainly just an end to investing money in services, benefits and infrastructure.

Wait…having the janitorial staff inspect concrete for flaws is just the cut Collapsing Building case from Disco Elysium?

UK teens are gonna start doing Jet from Fallout

i like the idea less of mercenary surveyor as wagner group and much prefer imagining a sort of swiss guard surveyor, still to this day recruited from the swiss military and obliged to wear the stupid outfit

Like an atmospheric railroad, wherever WTYP goes, horse torture follows.

I’m glad to see TF discovered Dracula Flow 3

the boys, the lads!

RAAC is also used for insulation purposes due to all the air bubbles in it and for interior walls in some countries. But supposedly it’s known within the industry that even with reinforced RAAC, you don’t use it for load bearing purposes. Various British administrations have been just passing the buck on down given how long they have known about this.

Justin and rocz
