Some people seem to get their application flagged for manual review, and that can take a long time. Otherwise it takes less than 20-30 minutes to get a reply in my experience.
I found it impossible to bore into the river bottom to make post holes. Too many rocks and soon bedrock below those rocks. Second was an immovable boulder. So I made the boulder the anchor of the structure.
I poured concrete slabs reinforced with rebar to form straight planes and set them in place with concrete filled cinder blocks. Once those were all reasonably level, I built up a wall around the boulder with cinder blocks. This part easily took the longest to get to. Next, the holes in cinder blocks I filled with concrete and rebar.
The center I hauled all the river rocks nearby in the river bottom I could manage to fill the middle up. Then a layer of gravel over the top to make sure no concrete dripped down to the water line and I filled it up level to the top with concrete. I also had taken some really dense old growth trees felled nearby and poured concrete around the bases and set those in place (you want poles to help with mooring - I have a 20 foot boat). At this point I had a big concrete square with big posts sticking out. After that, concrete forms with bolt anchors so I could bolt down my wood dock onto the concrete.
I mostly did all this myself. I did have a little help here and there - my neighbor helped get the wood dock in place, and I paid my nephews to help pour concrete one weekend when my fingers were all too bloody.
When a gwave passes through, since the space contracts or expands, you get changes in density, since bone and soft tissue are different densities, there should still be a pressure differential that can be heard.
It does not directly change density of matter afaik, only exerts gravitational pull, same as Earth does, and that in turn influences the body. But unlike Earth's it rapidly changes in magnitude and direction.
I think you're correct. Looking at the simplest form of this:
In traffic jams on motorways google often directs me to come off at a slip road only to immediately rejoin the motorway. These slip roads are fairly empty and thus my journey time improves.
The overall implication to the traffic jam is negative though. Everyone rejoining slows down traffic more than leaving it speeds traffic up.
The used market is what really concerns me with the EV market, when it comes to sustainability. My daughter will be driving in 2 years time and is adamant she won't drive something powered by fossil-fuels.
However, what choice does she have? Any used EV will have a range of 50 miles, and that is after a full 8 hour charge. Fixing/replacing the battery will cost far more than the vehicle itself.
More recent EVs 2nd-hand price is still higher than a new petrol-based one.
I can't see how the market can support itself, without efforts to create batteries that can be recycled easily, but the manufacturers don't seem to have an interest in that.
