Was a busy weekend. Which is why I am a day behind on this, and why I still have a few more links to post. Those will be in a bit, as I have my next thing to go to.
Just a few notes if I may. Ghana adding polyethylene bags to asphalt road mix. Can't think of a good why not. Ground-up used tires and scrap glass (!) have also been used as filler. Comes down to money. Tesla superchargers. Whenever I see similar a wonder why they don't have some type of barrier. Seems so easy for a car to bump into. What would be a dent in a dumpster is instead expensive damage. Vikings cleared Icelandic forests. Same thing all over Europe, but with other hands on the axes.
