Question for radio users like #constuction and #builders and #transport, like #truckers and so forth, do you say "roger" or "copy"?
I'm an #aviation guy so we say roger, which I didn't know was the old phonetic alphabet word for 'R' (now we would say Romeo), which they used to mean 'received'... but what do you say for confirmation, Roger or Copy or a 10- code? #AskFedi

You can pull wood held with common nails apart with your hands. For Ardox you'd need a jimmy or sometimes, dynamite. Is this still correct?
It was only 5 years ago when no-calibration (GNSS+IMU) tilt compensation for surveying and constuction rovers first hit the market. And now, it is an almost universal feature for new rovers. I spent some time looking at the adoption and impact of this technology; when users recommend to use it, and when not to.
Oh, and that 'click-baitey' title on the magazine cover was not my idea 🙄
Constuction automation: ustoppable, but more about many minor triumphs than major leaps. It's not just about autonomy... That will be great when it happens, but there is much being gained in the incremental steps of automation.

It’s more about many minor triumphs than major leaps. Surveyors can play an essential role in implementing these changes To those outside of the industry (and some within), the term “construction automation” evokes visions of bots and autonomous equipment plying construction sites—efficient and tireless—yet always on some far horizon. In present reality, construction automation takes …
In Singapore, incinerate waste (ash) is being tested as construction material for roads.
"One part of the study is to ensure that using NEWSand [name for the incinerated ash] in road construction does not affect the quality of our water sources, as most of the land area of Singapore is used for the catchment of water."
