Here’s a picture of stainless steel rebar, 6 m long, AISI 304, 12 mm, loaded in the trailer. The reason for using stainless is simple: it’s not a time bomb that expands 6x when rusting and lasts much longer. A good example is the Progreso pier — built around the 1940s with stainless, still standing today. In the 1970s they built a parallel pier with regular rebar, and it dissolved in seawater within a few decades. Seawater is salty, just like a person urinates about a teaspoon of salt at once — that same salt would immediately start forcing regular rebar to corrode fast.



literally no one gives a shit about your stupid toilet you schizophrenic fool. that video was the most embarrassing thing anyones ever seen.

Why do Arabs still wear that head scarf even when they aren't in the desert?

That video is full of shit.

Exactly — that’s why it took 14 hours to upload. Pure uncut pain, beginner chaos

"These people" live in a fantasy world where whatever they want to be true is true.  And believe that people are basically "good".

And you can't change their minds.
Especially the people they think are good.

Really blossoming into a lard ass these days as well.

Here’s a picture of how I fixed the base slab (30 cm thick concrete plate) before the walls go on top. I poured a 10 cm high and about 12 cm wide ridge on the slab, like a tongue, that lines up exactly under the monolithic wall. Inside the tongue I set vertical fiber rebar that ties into the slab. Some people have said the joint should be dovetail‑shaped for better connection, but I keep things simple. Honestly, with such a small tongue I doubt a dovetail would even work — concrete is weak in tension and the short fiber rebar wouldn’t anchor much anyway. What really matters is stopping shear movement, so the ground, frost, and other forces don’t push the walls off the slab. I could have just left the rebar sticking out of the base slab and poured the walls around it later, but I read that glass fiber rebar doesn’t tolerate UV exposure, so I didn’t want to leave it uncovered. That’s why I cast it inside the ridge.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if he didn't love it. From what I've heard, he was very strong. Someone who trained with him once said they witnessed him incline bench press 600 lbs (272.5 kg)!
His heart wasn't nearly as strong.
