Nah, they just do not trust me to donate if their material is good, best case scenario. I dont have enough time to read all the good stuff published by people who respect their audience to pay for this… Wait a minute, not even to them but to hardcore unethical publishing house?!

Yes and no. There are grades, variations of acidity and oxidative state of medium through the year. It’s heavy. It warps differently from everything else with temperature variation. Most of all, it is expensive.

I was also considering glass or clay overlapping tiles. Would be cool to cast huge ceramic panel, but it will crack, unless soil matrix holds it together. Shingles under sod might get roots growing through.

Another possible approach would be to allow leaks deliberately, then leave porous medium below the locking level with airflow access - so that any leaked water would be carried away with warmer air rising from habitation levels or even rhtough ventilation system or stove exhaust.

So much to study.

Or not well-designed. I’m sure someone like Mark Oehler could’ve figured something out. I don’t have much sod here in central Finland, unfortunately, to try something, neither did he I suppose. I still think of how to cover the roof in living grass though, this is perfect roofing material IMHO once we figure out how to fix leakage without resorting to plastic sheets that my grass seems to tear like they are not even there.

They might have switched to diffractive optics to combine lens and diffuser in one structure. I was anticipating to see it in newer small embedded screens, but haven’t encountered anything like this yet. You might peel some of whatever peels off on the side and see if there is periodic pattern underneath or just more of same.

Awesome! I once (more than 10 years ago, wow) had an idea to attach solar heater to vacuum/gas CVD system to make graphene, but my PI at the time said it’s dumb idea, sure it will work, no novelty there. Now I have no idea why I would want to make graphene, and pass all the free lenses in second hand shops. Now if making the forge is feasible (I had doubts), I’m totally doing it too, in Finland!

Oh, sure, let’s maybe keep them in hands of governments and corporations, those always behave responsibly, right?

Awesome, I should totally start making these things too and place them in my microcloning and brewing yeast webstore. This dude is a hero of our biopunk culture, weird that I haven’t heard about this before!

some Greek root for bottom, used, for example, in “abyss”, sounds totally chtonic.

That’s mixing greek and latin.

Geonauts? Buthonauts?
