@samtranum This is the stuff used in office walls say to prevent sound transfer - glass or rock wool, great acoustic insulator. Works best between 2 layers of plasterboard, but your plywood may work too https://t.co/uCgNruIZ0t

@Buseireann Thanks!

Amen to this - I'm worn out trying to learn/explain suitability codes nobody uses, and calling buildings "assets". It's Time to Get Rid of Useless BIM Acronyms, via ⁦@RevitPure⁩ https://t.co/7nyjOVTmTZ

#Covid19 is caught indoors. It spread in air, not hands

In stale air:
🦠2m distance is not safe (8m in meat plant, Germany, 6m in restaurant, Korea)

🦠15 mins is not safe (<5 mins prison, USA)

🧫 Stale indoor air is the root of this pandemic. It is measurable & preventable

.@frankmcdonald60 - can you confirm that this is really you writing this atrocious article? Can it really be true that a writer on environmental issues would call for threatened species to be killed off just because you don't like the sound of them? 🤦‍♂️

@stephen_coyne I’ve also felt disappointed since the cladding has gone up - I think the grey flatness of it makes it look cheap in a location where it should be the standout development 😕

3. Brussels’ streets aren’t in the best state of repair, but walking is much nicer and easier than Dublin. Main reason for me is no-wait pedestrian priority at nearly every junction.

Zebra crossings virtually everywhere means you can ...just walk.
