PS. The pictures above are from strangesounds topic: https://strangesounds.substack.com/p/you-will-know-them-when-they-come Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable? An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia. David L. Chandler | MIT News Office - January 6, 2023 The ancient Romans were masters of engineering, constructing vast networks of roads, aqueducts, ports, and massive buildings, whose remains have survived for two millennia. Many of these structures were built with concrete: Rome’s famed Pantheon, which has the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome and was dedicated in A.D. 128, is still intact, and some ancient Roman aqueducts still deliver water to Rome today. Meanwhile, many modern concrete structures have crumbled after a few decades. Researchers have spent decades trying to figure out the secret of this ultradurable ancient construction material, particularly in structures that endured especially harsh conditions, such as docks, sewers, and seawalls, or those constructed in seismically active locations. Now, a team of investigators from MIT, Harvard University, and laboratories in Italy and Switzerland, has made progress in this field, discovering ancient concrete-manufacturing strategies that incorporated several key self-healing functionalities. The findings are published today in the journal Science Advances, in a paper by MIT professor of civil and environmental engineering Admir Masic, former doctoral student Linda Seymour ’14, PhD ’21, and four others. For many years, researchers have assumed that the key to the ancient concrete’s durability was based on one ingredient: pozzolanic material such as volcanic ash from the area of Pozzuoli, on the Bay of Naples. This specific kind of ash was even shipped all across the vast Roman empire to be used in construction, and was described as a key ingredient for concrete in accounts by architects and historians at the time. Under closer examination, these ancient samples also contain small, distinctive, millimeter-scale bright white mineral features, which have been long recognized as a ubiquitous component of Roman concretes. These white chunks, often referred to as “lime clasts,” originate from lime, another key component of the ancient concrete mix. “Ever since I first began working with ancient Roman concrete, I’ve always been fascinated by these features,” says Masic. “These are not found in modern concrete formulations, so why are they present in these ancient materials?” Previously disregarded as merely evidence of sloppy mixing practices, or poor-quality raw materials, the new study suggests that these tiny lime clasts gave the concrete a previously unrecognized self-healing capability. “The idea that the presence of these lime clasts was simply attributed to low quality control always bothered me,” says Masic. “If the Romans put so much effort into making an outstanding construction material, following all of the detailed recipes that had been optimized over the course of many centuries, why would they put so little effort into ensuring the production of a well-mixed final product? There has to be more to this story.” Upon further characterization of these lime clasts, using high-resolution multiscale imaging and chemical mapping techniques pioneered in Masic’s research lab, the researchers gained new insights into the potential functionality of these lime clasts. Historically, it had been assumed that when lime was incorporated into Roman concrete, it was first combined with water to form a highly reactive paste-like material, in a process known as slaking. But this process alone could not account for the presence of the lime clasts. Masic wondered: “Was it possible that the Romans might have actually directly used lime in its more reactive form, known as quicklime?” Studying samples of this ancient concrete, he and his team determined that the white inclusions were, indeed, made out of various forms of calcium carbonate. And spectroscopic examination provided clues that these had been formed at extreme temperatures, as would be expected from the exothermic reaction produced by using quicklime instead of, or in addition to, the slaked lime in the mixture. Hot mixing, the team has now concluded, was actually the key to the super-durable nature... MORE: https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106

OMG! 9/11 from a different position, you might not have seen…

Misinformation is ruining society…

Baba Jaga vibes… Creepy street lamp in Wrocław, Poland… Baba jaga is the Polish spelling of the same witch/creature folklore (most languages: Baba yaga). Wrocław is a city in Poland, thus baba jaga is perfectly in context…

Me too I don't mind that at all.

No more my problem: I've found the solution, I think..: under Settings/'Cookies and other site data', here you have 'Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chromium' - switch slider to the right. So now ALL should be automatically deleted when the browser is closing?.. BUT I've links on the New tab.....hmm For dark mode, I've tried this: Type: Chrome://flags: Enabled: Force Dark Mode for Web Contents and: Web Platform Controls Dark Mode - so now I could've nice dark windows of extensions (uBlock..)... but I decided to return from this dark style, enough is enough for me. MiniBrowser has it already been rebased, please?.. I think so, but I've rebased it just in case, and now it weights 144 MB (416-272=144 MB), today after my rebase... _________________________ I've rebased Dll's in DCBrowser ( version Modified12.2022) today: - before rebase: 458-272=186 MB - after rebase (launch of rebase.bat and libase.exe under browser folder): 449-272=177 MB now. So DCBrowser lightened by 9 MB.. not so bad! But MiniBrowser is lighter: its weight is of 144 MB for browser v1.0.0121 only, here... 33 MB lighter.

When You Just Ain’t Got it All Together Dry Creek Wrangler School Young people are under so much pressure today to have everything figured out and worked out by a certain age. The truth is we're all learning and growing our entire lives and there are always going to be failures and points in our lives when we don't feel like we have a clue what we are doing. This is natural. I just want to encourage you that in your time of failure do not consider yourself a failure. No one ever has it all figured out. No one. Life is about learning and growing over the course of the entire journey.

Thoughts on Becoming a Proper Kind of Man Dry Creek Wrangler School "When I joined the military, I was astounded at the number of guys that didn’t know how to do anything. They couldn’t work with tools, didn’t know anything about cars, couldn’t cook, clean, balance a checkbook the list goes on. I had to ask one of them why they didn’t know how to do anything. The answer I got was: “I didn’t have anyone to teach me.” So, I think a big part of being a good man, is teaching young men how to do stuff and how to live and work in society." How to Deal With Loneliness Dry Creek Wrangler School "If tearing people down to your level is the only way to achieve equality - that's not equality." This is the message millions of people - young men and women - needed to hear at a younger age."

Here you have the news about my new browser: MiniBrowser_1.0.0.121_XPx64_M Unmovable window, if click on DeepL translator website link (with scripts not allowed): https://www.deepl.com/fr/translator "Veuillez changer de navigateur Button: Fermer DeepL n’est plus compatible avec Internet Explorer et pourrait donc dysfonctionner en cas d’utilisation sur ce navigateur. Nous vous invitons à ouvrir DeepL avec Microsoft Edge ou un autre navigateur récent. Vous pouvez également télécharger DeepL pour Windows.

If not, all is good: RAM used by Windows after start: 272 MB/3071 MB RAM used by Windows+browser: 419 MB So 419 - 272 = 147 MB for browser v1.0.0121 only (I've not downloaded any other links but browser for x64 only). In Process Hacker, I see one MiniBrowser.exe in job, and in its Modules: Normaliz.dll is highlighted in "Relocated Dll" color. In the Settings, Clear Browser Data is not automatically deleted when the browser is closing ... not good, very bad! This my test page: https://clearthis.page/ - is loading in 0.48 seconds best result for now (with some tabs yes!..)... to compare with DCBrowser 0.35 s best load time... measured with "Page load time" extension. Skin ... I don't like this skin, because I don't like delaved colors, on flat surfaces. Do you have the possibility to change this skin, please?

Maybe this same thing happened to our dear @XPerceniol... I'don't more see his likes under my postings since some days... for a week now... .. javascript website new problem maybe?......too on another forum: xpforums.com.....

Fight for your rights until the end… In 2015, a father saved his son’s life when doctors wrongly declared him dead and took him off life support. He barricaded himself in the hospital and even armed himself with a gun, he then had a stand off with a swat team, until his son squeezed his hand. The son ended up making a full recovery… Tomball hospital stand off father speaks "Beautiful story..sorry he had to go to jail hospital should be charged too..anytime you are an organ donor they push it in situations like this. My friends son was under water unconscious 20 mins car accident...they told her he was brain dead and she would not give up on him she told them NO to taking him off..Its been a year..today he is alive and rehabbing getting better everyday!" "so the hospital staff was never charged with malpractice? how many more people did they improperly diagnose?"

Autism breakthrough? What does it test? Heavy metals like mercury, lead and ALUMINUM… You draw your own conclusions… But as always, there are no coincidences anymore… What is autism? What does being autistic mean? Being autistic does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way from other people. It's something you're born with or first appears when you're very young. If you're autistic, you're autistic your whole life. Autism is not a medical condition with treatments or a 'cure'. But some people need support to help them with certain things. Autistic people may: find it hard to communicate and interact with other people find things like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable find it hard to understand how other people think or feel get anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations and social events take longer to understand information do or think the same things over and over.

Be Different, Be Unique… Be You There is no harm in being uniquely yourself. With the onslaught of social media today, many people find it difficult to be themselves instead of trying to mold them selves into the ideal of those around them. You cannot be confident in yourself if you do not know who you are. And you cannot know who you are, if you are only trying to determine who you are based on how those around you think you should.
