Thank you so much!
the Monday when my “weekly” post was due, we had 2 additional layers done, but it was very same-y and not really worth posting, so I thought I’d hold off until we finish the whole thing.
We ordered this device to inject the mortar:
and some powdered iron oxide to give a darker tone to the mortar, we like it better with the color of the bricks. When all this arrives, we can continue
I’m in Germany yes, that’s a good idea, thank you. The person who sold us the bricks took them out of a building in a village near Karlsruhe, he might know more about the story of that place, we definitely plan on sending him pictures of our construction and we shall ask if he knows more.
Most definitely!
Oh yeah good question! That’s not staying like that. According to the building theory books I read a jointing in an arch can be anywhere between 5mm and 10mm of mortar inside (1/4’ to 1/2’) and up to 25mm outside (1 inch)
The empty space will be filled completely with mortar next week. It was a huge mess when laying the bricks vertically against the wooden formwork, we noticed how ugly it looked when moving it off after laying the two first slices.
The plan is to use some kind of piping bag and inject the mortar precisely in the gap, then smooth it uniformly. There are different shapes, we haven’t decided yet which one we will use:
Thank you! It will be nice to leave something tangible behind, and we learn many new skills along the way
Good reference, you get an Internet Point™ from me
Yeah but realistically, I can’t do much about the fact that people believe. There are other fights I’m taking on in my life, and doing good around me seems like a more productive way to spend my energy.
Also, I come from a country where atheism has past the threshold of 50% of the population last year (from 25% 10 years earlier). It seems that people are turning their back to religion here anyway.
Well I agree with that, religion plays no role in my life, except making me angry at times. But if people want to live in a fantasy on their own time, fine with me.
Let’s have something of each religion on earth in each classroom of America, it won’t look silly I promise. -_-
Religion doesn’t belong in public spaces.
Oh sorry I assumed Felix was a male name :)
Felix really looked like a sweet bean, I’m sorry that you lost him. It looks like he was provided a good home <3

Agreed! Unfortunately these maddening behaviors were kind of set in stone several decades ago, and it has been (correctly) decided “Don’t break the web”, these weird quirks are kept in modern interpreters/compilers.
It’s actually quite interesting to read through the logic to follow when implementing an interpreter:

On the other hand, I don’t think you should add those ever
So happy for you Sanctus! I hope she’s fine. When mine disappeared for 3 days she came back really dehydrated. The vet advised us to add water to her wet food so she recovers quicker.
