Ordinarily I would have assumed that anyone saying what you wrote in your first post was simply being facetious, but I've seen enough of your posts to discern that you're clueless enough to actually think technological advance is bad when there's any risk that it could cost jobs in the short run. That's why I nominate it for dumbest post of the year!

Most people I know have curious minds and enjoy reading and learning.

Revel in your ignorance, you dim-witted buffoon!

Yes, Ekim has come out against better fitting joints, safer housing, faster work, more efficient building. Ekim truely represents the Marxist ideal. He won't be satisfied until we are all out in the field cutting our own wheat. That would certainly provide full employment.

Unlike the unwashed Ekim I have read Schumpeter but I have to go with aeronautical engineer and author Dean Ing. He once wrote about the destruction of an entire city without loss of life. How would they rebuild? The same old haphazard way it was done in the first place or a planned, sustainable design for the future? He hoped that they would opt to do it the right way and then he asks the question; why can't we plan the city of the future now and build it by steps.

ZOOOOMMMMMMM!!!! Duck your head Ekim.

This forum is always good for a few laughs. People say the most startling and unbelievable things! Ekim, didn't you say earlier today (in another thread) that Wisconsin has "always voted Republican?" Well, yes, you certainly did!

You're a veritable gold mine of knowledge, aren't you?

Please tell us about that zone of ignorance you inhabit, ekim008. Is it a happy place?

It was a great video, Cap'n. I've been sharing it with others. Really cool!

Thanks, COG, a few people I sent this to also found it quite interesting.

Although it's comparatively low-tech and not quite so interesting as the advanced process shown in the animation video I posted earlier, I have a suggestion for anyone considering building a house, lake house, cabin in the woods, or anything else.

For my Dallas home, I had the builder use something called "Thermasteel" structural insulated panels. It's a pretty cool process. You send your architectural plans to the company and a few weeks later they ship you a truckload of panels made in their factory. They're 6" thick closed-cell polystyrene foam units with steel studs C-channeled into them in a staggered fashion, so that heat transfer is minimized. I opted for the beefed-up "hurricane panels", which meet the tough Miami-Dade County building code imposed after Hurricane Andrew about twenty years ago. (Of course, we don't have hurricanes in the Dallas area -- but some of our spring supercell thunderstorms can get pretty vicious!)

The panels are factory made to precise tolerances with perfectly square openings for windows and doors. The crew then screws all the stuff together after placing and fitting the panels, sort of like you might have done if you built stuff with an Erector Set as a little kid. (You younger guys are probably not familiar with those.)

The finished result is a much stronger, more energy-efficient, quieter structure that's also not subject to termite infestation. The whole idea makes good sense to me. And the energy efficiency is incredible! It's a little bit like having your whole house encapsulated within a giant styrofoam cooler. I think it's superior in almost every way to what you get when you go the "conventional" route and simply have a crew come out and hammer together a bunch of 2X4s and 2X6s.

Here's a 5-minute demonstration video:

I also enjoyed viewing the "constuction" of the blonde narrator!

Remain ignorant and happy, ekim.

You're better off that way!

Good grief!

I hope you're kidding. Otherwise that post will be one of the leading candidates for dumbest post of the year!

(Although this forum contains quite a bit of truly worthy competition.) Originally Posted by CaptainMidnight

Ride off Mike8 into my ignore list, you have nothing to offer other than making the clapper look intelligent.
