"Time and again we find that people deeply respect the genuine, the real. In consumer products as well as the highest end of the art market authenticity and story carries with it a huge price premium. It is beyond controversy that humans genuinely cherish and search out the genuine." "Yes right, but imagine the savings with these new architecture AI tools!"

Sorry important typo: 4-1-1 of hemp-lime-water. Obviously.

When I say fire proof I mean that the hempcrete itself is fireproof. The wooden structure embedded in it is obviously not fireproof and continued high temperatures can destroy it. It also needs to be tight to avoid gasses from combusting the interior.
Gorgeous indigo dyeing workshop vat platform in Awaji, Kyoto, Japan. The beautiful tiles come from a local tile artisan active for over 135 years. The platform is made of hempcrete (hemp, lime, water). https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7631ef47d55d5454e88a0bb347012418ba8dec1b4d5d184cc6717352daa6d521.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0105a0a0602bf033db6098f6597a12d7bd62ceb9c296e6cadd9525ee96a6a7d0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e8e11994f59dba9beb430c441ed8e94f17ce4fa2f3cd820d303f34c0838975c0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f79a39c68bd2bb4fd6f7c76da8ef841bbe6e837aa43c31b97b73b80f6dc9e12d.file
Hempcrete is a wall building material either poured or precast bricks. It is most commonly 4-1-1 of lime-hemp-water. Here is a 2023 experimental building in Japan. Hempcrete has good insulation properties as well as being fire proof, mold proof and insect proof. It is also non-toxic. However it isn't load bearing so you need some sort of timber structure embedded. 1mΒ³ of hempcrete absorbs 300kg of COβ‚‚ if you care about that. However, producing and transporting the lime isn't free or without its own associated energy costs. None of will need to be landfilled after its life is over though. Clean enough to be buried in the earth it stands on. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ee402e2567c67000976a1f0473072cf1dcd112f33f302dd8f710e33394fb9b55.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/1c1ba77911c0f778102a030634792152af3b41b42d95c86d687cd87019f1421c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/55d98400e6998b7fa89320d7703618b4e2ef2e24e83f2e5ef67aedfffb3d35b9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7b16da07bc94f14aafaf93aca21a61cd87ba6933175046ead613588f1abdf66d.file
I would be happy of oysters could come back on the menu as cheap and healthy food for the masses. "Thousands of oysters are being re-introduced to Dublin Bay as nature’s super water cleaners."

Oyster reefs can act as a massive water treatment plant.
It is safe to assume that all honey you buy is fake or adulterated, unless you buy it straight from the apiary itself. Not saying that you should avoid supermarket honey, but far better is to buy in bulk (several years' supply at once) from an apiary near you. Natural, real, honey lasts for thousands of years.

The honey trap: why honey fraud is a health hazard
Almost half of honey imports to Europe have been flagged as suspicious. From sugar syrups to fake origins, honey fraud is big business.
The Nakamura Residence in Miasa Village, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, built in 1698 and still in splendid condition. Timber frame (no nails or metal) and clay and bamboo walls on a raised pillar foundation (earthquake proof). An interesting detail is the thick base coat of the thatched roof, which uses Ogara (ιΊ»εΉΉ) the woody hollow pith of hemp, a byproduct of hemp cloth production. Ogara is naturally mold resistant, deodorizing and moisture regulating with a comparatively high insulation effect, making it a perfect undercoat or base coat for thatched roofs. Due to the scarcity of hemp material grown domestically for cloth use today these Ogara roofs are obviously extremely rare and tremendously expensive. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5dea1fc28d2d72279ace1233dfe2041eef0aa5cb5533314bc944cc32eae1877f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5fbd757e2e57582de006e6cd4fd6bf83f340d9b2cda734868298d45ba25f3c20.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5f673ba5c5551e2fb55d67273c5c9a384b6d2b3675dd1780852669c2f658cdd9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ad54602150ab25b9aaa4a905793e5f452f83fd31c3bc907f9699326fc8c4a008.file
Canadian humor. Peter Nicol, Eric and Whalley, Say Uncle: A completely uncalled-for history of the U.S. It has a funny byline: "The authors have not only discussed the War of 1812 but have provided ample incentive for its renewal." https://hell.twtr.plus/media/792d528174ca23a8addc1870e395fedc650eb018573b45972b9364d26e98e490.file
