I think it's pretty exciting that we've invented wood that's multiple times stronger, more durable, fire and bug resistant, and can be made from bamboo, the fastest growing terrestrial plant on Earth.
Scientists create ‘Superwood’ that’s stronger than steel | CNN
A US company has engineered a new type of wood that it says has up to 10 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel, while also being up to six times lighter.

Circus Fire, Stewart O’Nan. Where you learn that a circus band playing Stars & Stripes Forever is a Fire alarm. Act accordingly! Also, that cotton soaked in paraffin wax is flammable AF, and cotton soaked in linseed oil will self ignite if left in full sunlight!
Waterproof OR fire resistant: pick 1!

"is...marble...fireproof..."

ah, there we go.
"Natural stone exhibits unique heat transfer properties that make it an excellent material for fire safety applications. When exposed to high temperatures, stone acts as a thermal mass, absorbing and distributing heat slowly throughout its structure. This characteristic helps prevent rapid temperature increases during fires, providing valuable time for evacuation and emergency response. Different types of natural stone demonstrate varying thermal conductivity rates. For instance, granite typically conducts heat at a rate of 1.7 to 4.0 W/(m·K), while marble ranges from 2.1 to 3.5 W/(m·K). This relatively low thermal conductivity means that stone walls and surfaces can effectively resist heat penetration during fire events." "Additionally, natural stone’s thermal inertia helps maintain structural integrity during fires. Unlike some building materials that may weaken or deform quickly under intense heat, stone maintains its structural properties at high temperatures. This characteristic is particularly valuable in load-bearing applications and fire barriers. The non-combustible nature of natural stone also means it doesn’t contribute fuel to fires or emit toxic fumes when exposed to heat, making it an inherently safer building material for fire-resistant construction."

California has some of the strongest building fire codes in the U.S., ensuring homes built within areas at high risk of wildfire use fire-resistant materials that can withstand encroaching blazes. Roofs, vents, windows, and walls must meet standards.

But they only apply to homes built after 2008.

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is a bit like plywood in the sense that it's just glued wood but it's made with thicker boards instead of just scraps and its very durable, fire resistant, etc. and also cool looking imo

I approve of her motivation and drive, we just have to work on execution.

If you plan on burning down a building, turn off the water main first. Also break the nearest 3 fire hydrants. Wearhouses are pretty fire resistant, with exception to their roofing. Start at the top and work down.

This will only make us weaker as a species by allowing people who aren't fire-resistant enough to survive without functional door handles to breed, further propagating their inferior genes.

And I am definitely not Stephen Miller using a sock puppet account.

Natural winter light with a warming filter on my Nikon from dusk to blue hour.
Brick buildings in old electric substations were primarily used to house, protect, and safely enclose high-voltage equipment, such as transformers, switchgear, and rotary converters, while often blending into urban environments with designed aesthetics. They provided durable, fire-resistant housing for crucial electrical infrastructure, particularly in early 20th-century residential or industrial areas. Some have had infrastructure updates , while others were abandoned and renovated into new-use cultural and business uses. Historically, these buildings were common in urban settings, and they now represent a unique, preserved industrial heritage. Especially in the early 1900s, these buildings were designed to be attractive assets to neighborhoods, often utilizing styles like Classical Revival or Art Deco to fit into residential areas. This substation has been left to decay , with all the apparatus updated somewhat externally.

Pineapple skin is so heat resistant that it can endure a 1000°C iron ball.

Not only does pineapple have enzymes that break down proteins and start digesting the cells in your mouth, its skin is also fire proof 😮

had the idea to type out all the little mental shortcuts i have to help me remember the #Pokemon type chart
Normal… Is just regular animals. Don’t let your dog eat rocks and steel. Dogs don’t believe in ghosts and therefore can’t fight them. Fire… Burns grass and bugs, melts ice and steel. Can’t fight fire with fire, can’t burn water or rocks. Dragons are resistant against the elements. Water… Puts out fire and erodes rocks and the ground. Water and water just make more water, grass likes water. Dragons are resistant against the elements. Grass… Eats water and the ground, and breaks down rocks. It is burned by fire, competes with other grass, is killed by poisonous pesticides. Birds and bugs eat it. Steel blades are sharper than grass blades. Dragons are resistant against the elements. Electric… Is great against conductive water, and fries birds I guess. It gets diffused when striking grass, competes with other electric companies, and is completely absorbed by the Ground. Dragons are resistant against the elements. Ice… Freezes and kills grass, makes the ground dormant, causes birds to fly south. Dragons are cold-blooded, so they hate ice. Ice is melted by fire and water, breaks against other ice cubes, and only changes the temp of steel. Fighting… Is people. People are bad for normal animals. Martial artists love breaking ice and rocks. Fighting spirit helps make you unafraid of the dark. Fighting spirit excels against steel machines, like in the John Henry legend. You can’t fight poison. You can’t punch a bird or a bug, they’re in the sky or too small, dummy. You can’t punch a ghost you just go through it. Psychic brains over brawn. You can’t punch your way through a fairy tale, you have to let the magic in. Poison… Is in pesticides, which is bad for grass. The Fae are susceptible to poisoning. Poisons shouldn’t mix. Toxic waste is disposed in the ground with rocks, as landfills. You can’t poison the dead. Ground… Is thrown on fire to put it out, grounds electricity, covers poison in landfills, breaks down rocks and steel. Grass drains its nutrients, and bugs live in it. Flying… Is birds. Birds live in grass and make nests with it, eats bugs, and magpies terrorize australians. Electricity fries birds i guess, birds can’t peck through rock and steel. Psychic… Is brain power. Mind over matter VS fighting, and meditation expels impurities, or poisons. Psychics are bad against each other, and brain power can’t really bend steel spoons. Our minds are naturally afraid of the dark, which can’t be reasoned out of. Bug… Eats grass, and lives in the dark. Bugs are also a common fear, so it’s good against Psychic. They’re drawn to fire, are susceptible to getting smushed by fighters, killed by poison, or eaten by bugs. Ghosts are hard to bite since they’re intangible. Bugs can’t burrow through steel. Bugs simply coexist with fairies, and can’t really harm them. Rock… Can put out/stop fires, break ice, and crush bugs. Can also take out two birds with one stone. Rocks can easily be blocked by a fighter, and the ground easily absorbs them. Throwing rocks at steel has little effect. Ghost… Is ghosts. Ghosts compete over haunts. Ghosts are also a common fear, so they’re good against Psychic. Ghosts can’t touch animals, which don’t believe in them. They rely on darkness for their power, and thus can’t really hurt darkness. Dragon… Is only good against other Dragons. Dragons are villains in fairy tales, and can’t win in them. Dragons’ natural enemy is a hero with a steel sword. Dark… Gives ghosts power, and is inherently stronger than them. It is also a common fear, so it’s good against Psychic. Fighting spirit makes the dark less scary. Darkness can’t compete with more darkness. Fairies aren’t afraid of the dark. Steel… Crushes ice and rocks. Ferngully. Steel gets soft in fire, and sinks in water. Electricity just passes through it. Clashing steel swords is really bad for the swords actually. Fairy… Is fairies. Fairies trick humans (fighting) and thrive in the dark. Fairy tale heroes slay dragons. Fairies don’t like fire, and are very susceptible to poison and pollution. The steel age and industrialization kills the magic of fairy tales.

Notably, they're talking about a machine vision and fire risk machine learning tool, not an LLM. I'm a little dubious about the claimed granularity; even with images with a 10cm x 10cm pixel, you can't identify ember-resistant construction.

Teto Touhou OC (name pending but i want it to abriviate to K.T.) Notable features: Dragony wings (bulletproof but can't really use them as a shield if flying... which is usually) Feathery Bracers (made of Chimera feathers that grow on her body naturally) Ribbony Tail (a tail that looks and feels like a ribbon) Big ass stompin boots (self explanatory) She can breathe fire if she wants and is fire resistant She lives in a volcano or cave or something and her power is to manipulate song/voice (she can't change anyone's words but can decide who can her her own voice wherever and can also maybe affect others tone of voice idk) She loves to get into fights for fun but hates starting fights on accident or with people who don't want to. Also likes singing for people and bad weather Kinda a stupid bitch but not an idiot or anything She'll eat about anything that's not currently alive

cheese type pokemon... strong against normal and fighting. not very effective against bug and poison. resistant to fire and poison. weak to bug and psychic.

cheesio... the cheese pokemon. this creature uses the smell of cheese to attract humans to take care of it.

during that period. But what can I say? russia is a cancer at the world's map.

I'm much better ready. I have more bottles of technical water, fire-resistant brick (I have to heat it on the gas stove and for 1 hour it gives back warmth), I have sleeping bag.
We won't give up.
