Engineers Weigh Up Returning to #Ancient #RomanConcrete Recipes

"The ancient Romans might have taught us a thing or two about manufacturing #sustainable concrete that lasts for thousands of years.
"A new study has rigorously analyzed the raw materials and energy demands of their ancient recipe, revealing some useful ways to improve modern cement.
"Surprisingly, researchers found that producing Roman mortar and concrete requires more water and more greenhouse gas emissions than #PortlandCement – the most common type of cement used in concrete today.
"But while the initial energy costs may be steeper, Roman concrete formulations could ultimately prove more sustainable in the long run. That's because they may not need to be replaced or repaired as often."

I agree.
I also wish stuff was made properly so it didn't need fixing.
And that it was made to last ― my parents still have the dining room suite they bought when they got married.
Also, think when you last saw a '#QA' or '#QC' sticker...? They've worked out that fielding/rejecting complaints is cheaper than doing quality checks.
The materials in much of the stuff made today could just go straight from the mine to the landfill.
"Full throttle ahead! 👿⚡️ Embrace the journey with unstoppable energy. 🚀

I am very enthusiastic about tech! No, really!
...about 150 year old sewing tech.
American Duchess has been praised all over the internet on the shoe quality, but so far my experience with #jobear is better. For me personaly Jobear's last feels better, but also after just one short summer both heel inserts of my AD french heels has cracked.
Did my shoes tried fat-shaming me?!
