Looks like you did not understand that comment. Concrete will not let a draft through no matter where the wind hits. For fiberglass and others, one bad fitting means a current can form through the material. This is why you need tyvek to begin with.
You are misunderstanding the American building system. We don't use fiberglass insulation by itself. You're picking a small part of a greater system and complaining it doesn't work in isolation. There are multiple layers to our construction and it's effective.
As for the wall material stopping drafts in a window frame, that makes no sense at all.
Exactly, the critique is that you need multiple layers, and if one fails, the R values you thought you had go out of the window. Whereas a concrete, wattle and daub etc wall will tolerate less-than-perfect fitting and maintenance. Of course if you assume construction is flawless, there will be no issues, and that’s the usual case.
A poor fit, minor damage, or any defect allows convection within the fiberglass. R-value assumes zero air movement, which is why it is far less useful comparing fiberglass to foam or aerated cement. In real world settings, aerated cement will outperform fiberglass.
The same thing can happen when concrete cracks, which is quite common. All of this a question of basic building maintenance rather than the building materials chosen.
Cracking is why single family homes generally avoid concrete walls in the permafrost.
Argh. Some of us just hate this traditional controller design. It’s huge but the buttons are small, wiggly, there are too many and it gets dirty as hell. I’d rather use a PlayStation controller as remote, all you needs is two buttons and a directional pad anyway.
I'd be shocked if more than 10% of the people investing in crypto on Robinhood know what a stable coin is. I bet a fairly high percentage of total crypto investors (not by amount of crypto, but count of individuals investing) are on Robinhood. I'd expect that other casual-friendly trading platforms with crypto support are similarly skewed toward people who don't know much about the space, though probably not quite as much as Robinhood is.
You'd be very, very surprised, then. I would wager probably at least 60% wouldn't even be able to make heads or tails of the term "stablecoin", and possibly up to 80% or 90%, even.
Sometimes crypto investors do their investing through means that can be several times detached from the nitty and gritty (e.g. would buying COIN or MSTR stock be considered crypto investing? Some say it would) so it doesn't surprise me that much. I don't think it's too healthy, but hey.
In europe, meaning shorter shipping routes, recycling existing batteries, and doing that using a novel hydrometallurgy process with 97% lithium recovery rate, lower emissions and a factory powered 100% from renewable energy. Plus they have $27B in orders already.
They will be able to recycle batteries, but that's not where much of their current order volume or materials come from. The article is a word salad that conflates a series of unrelated points.
Gearbox eventually released that game, and it was complete mess of outdated gameplay and unpolished things cobbled together to fill the game time somehow.
