@AukeHoekstra @hausfath @AndrewDessler @nytimes What’s the prediction for the next 20- 50 years?

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@SarahTheHaider This fundamentally misunderstands the issue. Women may be paid the same £ for the same work but by mid career have generally made less progress. It’s naive to assume this is purely due to women’s innate preferences, rather than societal pressures.

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@billyhu6 @SarahTheHaider I think ‘choices’ is an unfair way of framing the gender pay gap. Societal expectations of women mean these choices are not always ones that would be made in an ideal world.

@SustainableTall And as those graphs show - a large portion is carbon released by the actual chemical reaction that creates the cement. This just can’t be decarbonised easily.

@joncstone I love the plants, agree it’s magical , shame about the smell!

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@Groupwork_arch How can you justify no movement joints? Is there any guidance that says this?

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@mr_bones_wild @0K_ultra @s8mb Pretty sure this seed oil hysteria is all nonsense, not supported by the science. Butter is known to be very unhealthy in all but small quantities.

@antonhowes The innovation snowball.

The innovation shift.

The great technological shift.

the technical cascade

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@antonhowes I think the Technical Revolution is fine, if you want to capture the broadness of the shift vs the term ‘industrial’.

The Agricultural Revolution would have been extremely ‘gradual’, but looking at the before vs after is like night and day, hence Revolution.

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@antonhowes The great technological transition.
Technological transformation.
The technology explosion.
The technical revolution .

@guyshrubsole I’ll contribute

@s8mb Tulleken might say mad shit but Tim Spector and others agree “ultra processed” has meaning and importance. Surely you can appreciate the difference?

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@s8mb None of that is likely to be considered ‘ultra-processed’ by the proponents of the term

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@Brummie_Girl @BBCNews Doesn’t this apply to everyone?

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@nimtimtim @JurajMikurcik @lb_southwark Can you build a 100mm internal stud leaf, and potentially save on space (as you can also insulate between studs)?

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@dieworkwear What kind of polo is that and where can I get one?

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@SustainableTall I think, visually, the pavilion definitely makes CLT look like a concrete replacement! I thought it was a concrete frame at first glance

[Alexander @Alexander_1688]

@SustainableTall I would argue that the purpose of a pavilion is the ideas that it communicates. If even one architects head is turned towards CLT (for use in a project where it actually makes sense), then it’s probably paid back it’s carbon many times over.

@TheHiggsmeister @eugeneh84 What do you think is the current equivalent?

@benedictevans Are you a fan of Apple Music? I’ve not used it but interested in it v Spotify
