Weird Peeve Time. Calling Lab Grown Gemstones "fake" Is Stupid Because It's The Same Shit Just Not Formed

Like. If you read “you can’t change your sex” but hear ‘your sex defines how you must live your life’ that’s a problem you need to deal with because male and female aren’t lifestyles

One of my most controversial opinions is that although male suicide statistics are often thrown around in an attempt to elicit sympathy for men, I almost never feel sympathy. Each time I hear the male suicide stats, I imagine a venn diagram where one circle represents demographics that are overwhelmingly male, and the other circle represents demographics with extremely high suicide rates.

And do you know what demographics often make up the intersection? What demographics are both overwhelmingly male and have extremely high suicide rates? School shooters. Child rapists. Terrorists. Those who murder their wives and children. Violent criminals.

There is often this depiction that men who commit suicide are merely lonesome victims of ‘misandry’ who could not fulfill the harsh standards of masculinity. And yes, many of them might be. However, no one ever mentions the flip side of it, which is that male suicide statistics are often just an extension of male degeneracy—that men who commit suicide are not always victims, but rather victimizers seeking to escape the consequences of their actions. Don’t you ever wonder what the male suicide rate would be after subtracting all the pedophiles, murderers, and terrorists?

3D-printed clay tiles designed to restore coral reefs

Architects and marine scientists at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have jointly developed a novel method for coral restoration making use of specially designed 3D printed artificial ‘reef tiles’ for attachment by corals to enhance their chance of survival in the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Hong Kong waters.

The artificial reef tiles are specially designed to aid coral restoration by providing a structurally complex foundation for coral attachment and to prevent sedimentation, one of the major threats to corals. They provide anchors for corals of opportunity, i.e. dislodged coral fragments that are unlikely to survive on their own, giving them a second chance to thrive.

The 128 pieces of reef tile with a diameter of 600mm were printed through a robotic 3D clay printing method with generic terracotta clay and then fired at 1125 degrees Celsius. The design was inspired by the patterns typical to corals and integrated several performative aspects addressing the specific conditions in Hong Kong waters.In addition to the novel design of the tiles, the materials used are more eco-friendly than the conventional use of concrete and metal. The tiles were printed in clay and then hardened to terracotta (ceramic) in a kiln. The team plans to expand their collaboration to new designs with additional functions for seabed restoration in the region.
