Captain Womble's Comments

It is utterly irresponsible of you to suggest that tap water is not safe to drink (or brush your teeth with/rinse mouth). The CDC does NOT say that it is not safe except in very specific conditions> https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/drinking-water-faq.html and for the most part (outside areas with known problems) only woonatics say otherwise. ADMIN! ADMIN! (I also note your lack of sources, relying upon VERY SPECIFIC - in case of health warning on water supply - notice to suggest GENERAL advice. BAD ARTICLE)

Turns out he probably wasn't making Roman concrete (just a bad modern imitation) as recent discovery suggests a vital component of their mix was hot mixing/using quicklime - https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106 - which results in self-healing/protective lumps which react to water ingress to protect the whole structure. In my understanding this is kind of like what he did in the initial (prep of ingredients) steps but actually during the mixing (which he did cold). Interestingly this results in a much less consistently mixed result -which had been written off as bad mixing.

Does that highrise apartment have a window that opens.. at floor (and toddler/cat) level?That seems a really dangerous idea - especially if only as basically secured as it looks!
