There's a burnt down and abandoned manor about 10 minutes walk from me, now owned by the Freemasons, has a hermitage carved into the sandstone (or limestone idk) cliff face, as well as a tunnel leading from the local castle to the manor as a means of escape (something like 1.5 miles).

The hermatige is pretty small, about 10x10 foot in the main room, with a super high 15-20ft ceiling.

There's another mystery cave carved into the cliff, which is about 30x15 foot with pillars supporting the ceiling carved out of the rock.

The manor has been used in one form or another basically continuously since the crusades, and then intermittently before then, earliest record is a Roman reference to a spring around the location, there is also a Saxon era water mill

100% is, wouldn't be able to spin it though, the "stand" at the bottom is fixed to the drum as its what the drive belt goes on.

I think it's only possible this year because we've been having sudden rain after a mostly hot and dry May, the previous couple of summers have had more than a few wild fires in the UK

Not disagreeing with any points you have made but speaking in reference to the environmental pollutants;

It's my understanding that both microplastics and PFAs are endocrine disprupters either directly or indirectly, which may have an effect during development and long term, does that actually matter when it comes to how an individual wishes to present or live their life? I don't think so.

Interestingly, there are other naturally occuring endocrine disrupters such as certain mycotoxins that humans have basically always had to deal with.

I'm pretty sure that's quoting Salvador Dali...

(/s but actually also not)

The immediate issue I can see is not much to do with the base aspect of things, but more to do with the risk of salination of soils and water, but without solid numbers to go off of it's hard to know what the impact could be.

I'm curious if this could be made to work with elemental potassium, which doesn't carry the same risk of salination or possibly even the liquid NaK alloy (which would carry the approximately half the risk of salination potential)

Any chance of a rough guide/recipe?

This looks like a very effective way of using waste from dry herb vapes

We already have a people being 'nostalgic' for plastic straws... It's depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.

On a related note, Uranium glass isn't dangerous at all, it's production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.

Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.

Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

We do, though generally nowhere near as much as some other places. I've only ever seen maybe 2 in my life.

OTOH not mowing brings so much life into the garden; yesterday I found a grass snake in my garden, first wild snake I've ever seen

So these and a couple other types of bricks I've seen (ones with multiple holes to for masonry bees(?)), have surprisingly high costs for what they are.

While I don't take issue with the stated reasoning for the inclusions of the bricks; I am curious why the the cost is so high, and by extension, who (if anyone) is profiting off of the high costs of the bricks?

If the these become required, will every brick manufacturer be able to produce them, bringing the price of them down?

Are there any obvious unforseen issues with using them?

Is there a limit on their lifespan?

Do they need cleaning by the homeowner?

Fundementally, I think if there aren't any glaring flaws with the requirement for these then this would be an easy win for Labor to add

Roughly about 10g of caffeine for a 70kg human is where it's starts to generally be recognised as lethal
