CLT and mass timber is the shit. They are also working on LVL veneer based types that are like super plywood vs. the current finger jointed lumber version You trade material cost for labor but you can have a house framed in a day. Also concrete is a carbon emitter for a long time. It is not prone to fire. You can have them CAD CAM all the windows, doors, conduit, and plumbing into the walls at the factory, and it is renewable.
That is what good SciFi and Fantasy all have in common, the suspension of disbelief for a single event or concept. Multiple disbelief only ends in Kungfury. The moon could explode if a black hole went through it a high proportion of c is it likely to happen? Fuck no but it is SciFi.
Neal Stephenson is a master of creating substance without any thought to how to end his books. His books are mostly a vehicle to support the propagation of an idea. He seems to have no love affair with character or place. I love his stuff but DoDo seems like an excuse for him to read more primary documents then anything else (which he admitte3d to loving at a Portland talk he gave about System of a World. The Diamond Age ends like a serial cliffhanger. Reamde was a like a boilerplate movie script. What the fuck was the end of Seveneves but "here is the new now, goodbye." I love him but as an example of anything other than what you're accusing Gibson of his the worst example I can think of. I can't think of him ever enticing me with atmosphere other than Snow Crash and Diamond Age. To be literature you need it all, place, setting, characters, ideas, action, and conclusion. Even Iain M. Banks falls short on characters, I rarely give a fuck about anyone in his stories except the Algabraist and Against a Dark Background.
If you are looking for concrete how about Dune? It has basically everything. "The Three Body Problem" is the best concrete content in SciFi I have ever read and it is Fucking merciless!
Seriously, after reading that book I would seriously consider the death penalty for anyone who uses radio broadcasts for any reason let alone trying to contact NHIs.
Liquid and gas fuels are super useful. Their energy density and their transport over existing infrastructure make them super useful. Pipelines can carry anything.
Once you hit a level where your hardware does what you need the upgrade race becomes dumb. E.g. in two years lets say you'll have 120Hz binocular 4K goggles, what then?
The Japanese did "try" to spread plague with bombs made out fleas ment to infect rats to in turn infect and kill humans! But who cares about that shit, HERE COMES MONGO!
Yeah no... the content has no bearing on the debate. The ends do not justify the means in all but the smallest and most extreme examples. You might note that we have this thing called the 4th amendment for just such events. It says,
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
That makes the e-mail poison fruit. The fact that they we taken by a foreign power makes the whole event into a attack on our country. You are apologizing for the FSB attacking our core mission as a country for your own simplistic tribalism. That makes you a domestic enemy of the constitution.

Moto Z play. You have to use mods and the waterproofing is a coating but it is also cheap.
If it doesn't it in a Carhart pen pocket I don't want it.

First thing I thought when I saw the new one was "Oh finally someone to direct Neuromancer."

He's right. People could make art but they don't.

I voted Cthulhu. Why choose the lesser evil?
God damn fucking time vampire?

Bullshit! All energy except radioactive is solar. Even the core heat of the earth is related to the suns effects on the earth over is total life.
Fuck that, I want a hemi-truck!

Probably attributable to lead poisoning from gas additives.

Itz spealed "ur" dummaz.
So what do you think of the banked circular runway?
In a banked turn the vector goes straight down. Its why your coffee doesn't spill in a plane.
