Best case scenario for sellers in these oversupplied areas is that the prices stagnate until inflation catches up with an acceptable real value. However, when one large organisation needs to drop prices to move stock to handle loan repayment, the whole market will fall.

You see a lot of people in Ireland with names like this. A senior politician was called Dick Roche (pronounced roach)

If a person is going out of their way to avoid all news about a topic, they should avoid using Lemmy and Reddit, just they as the should avoid their favourite news sites.
The public system in Ireland is not tied to any income threshold. There is a nominal fee that is waived if you are unemployed, disabled, a part time worker, etc., but the public system is accessible to all.
I appreciate the effort but make sure you don’t waste too much time on a .ml tankie.
No not really.
Sugar is too obvious for such sabotage as the concrete will just not harden. What you need to do is add more water into the mix to make it weaker, and then slop off the surface water to force it to cure too quickly. Salt in the mix is an accelerant and will induce cracking/spalling.
If I had control over the total mix I would try to substitute a contaminated aggregate (e.g., pyrites).
I don’t expect a CEO to do any coding. I also don’t expect a CEO to be as much of an expert as the PhD level computer scientists, machine learning experts, professors of psychology, neurology, ethics, etc., that his company is employing. It is not possible or even relevant for him to have those skills to the level of the top academics that work for him.
No, we would not. The beams have a loading that they must adequately support. They have a span that is dictated by the column spacing. There are moment, shear and deflection requirements that must be met.
You cannot just throw in supports (i.e., columns, bracing) everywhere to reduce the span until it works, otherwise you impact the usability of the building space and drive up the cost of construction.
Reducing the beam to beam spacing means you are increasing the number of structural elements and therefore cost, and probably also using the material inefficiently. The expensive part of a beam is the connection, and you typically want to reduce the number of connections and crane lifts as much as possible.
There is the possibility of misconfiguration, but ultimately, a member can be too weak even if the configuration is correct.
If a member fails it is in fact because it is too weak. It would pass the utilisation check otherwise.
Extremely weird comment when you have no idea about his political views. It doesn’t really matter how the guy voted either, it’s a sad story about a couple being fucked over by the US medical and insurance cartels, and it is needlessly cruel to gloat over it.
For what it’s worth, my totally non scientific personal experience is that in Denmark, the number of insects that I have to clean off the car has trended upwards in the last two years
