I made a sand/red sand duper out of the end portal. Mojang left that glitch in because postgame requires too much labor. Why spend days of your life excavating desert by hand when you can AFK in the end for a few hours?

[@marylebone9357]

If you don't mind me abusing my civil engineering degree to bring up a teeny tiny techical hang up, the stony crystals you spoke about do not stem from silicates in aggregates like sand. Portlandite Hydration creates these stony spindly star-like crystals from silicates in cement (tri and di calcium silicates) alongside crystallisation of other cement based compounds (aluminiates and ferrites). These compounds come from heating clays and limestone into clinker and grinding it into cement. All of these compounds come from the cement not the sand aggregate. Aggregate provides mechanical strength to concrete mixes and reduces the heating effect of cement hydration by spacing out the cement paste which prevents overheating and the formation of cracks. Fine aggregates like sand are important because they fill gaps between larger aggregates which reduces the total space that can fill with cement mixture.

[@marylebone9357]

These spindly star like crystals grow into each other and lock all of the aggregate in place but the way crystallisation was spoken about in the video implies that portlandite crystalisation is a reaction between sand, cement and water. While it actually happens without sand. Sand is super important in concrete but is not a chemical component of the formation of these crystals. It is a mechanical additive to the concrete mixture not a chemical additive to cement.

The reason was that it was a special type of sand the business in the UAE wanted to import: the sand had particularly angular grains making it suitable for bunkers on golf courses. The angular grains make it less likely for a ball to become buried in the sand if landing in a bunker from a great height.

Yeah, no to the "it's because people move to cities" argument. Resource use and infrastructure need per person are much lower in cities.

[@AskTorin]

I think (I don't know) that this depends on the region you live in. In Europe, this is true. In SS Africa, I'd be very surprised if this was the case outside of a few very advanced economies.

[@SomePotato]

@AskTorin I'm sure that's true as well. But even in this case, the root cause for more resource use isn't the movement towards cities.

Did a septic install on a sand mine in West Texas earlier this year Apparently, most of our fracking sand was coming from Wisconsin/South Dakota via rail, and its only in the past few years that sand mining has started domestically within the state

We're running out of sand so we have to replace using concrete for every fucking thing.

[@cloudunknown]

Why not use concrete for highways, and cobblestone for streets? That would be much more sustainable

[@vivalaleta]

@cloudunknown Simply because....WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF SAND.

[@ham_the_spam4423]

@@cloudunknown dirt gets muddy and grass dies from being walked over often. I'd suggest clay brick roads, they're smooth like concrete and thus nice to walk on.

In my town there is a huge plot of land, the size of 2-3 football fields, covered in construction sand. Now guess what? It's got a security guard guarding it 24/7. Now you know why

8:10 We don't want to hear it, but real estate bubbles can be really good for cities. Big skyscrapers become viable projects, sophisticated infrastructure is built, and modern megacities pop up in areas that would otherwise never have the motivation to build anything higher than a 3 story walk up. Whenever a governing body makes a decision to rip the band aid and let the bubble pop, they are always trading long term growth for short term relief. Similar dynamics exist for other industries. We are training company managers to either scale up supply quickly or not at all, because if they wait too long, the nation's managers would step in and end demand.

[@edwinhuang9244]

Bubble bursts tend to be more harmful than the growth the bubble can generate. We have quite a few recent case studies showing that. And bubble burst are very difficult to stop, if not impossible. There's a reason why economists don't recommend you get into a bubble.

[@danielzak4405]

I live in Cambodia, and it is extremely depressing how badly sand digging is affecting the country. Officially, it is illegal but if you go to the river you can watch ships full of sand go past you one after another. Other dredge right in front of the most populated part of the city, in view of everyone. There is no attempt to stop it or even hide it, even as some streets have collapsed into the river because of the sand dug out underneath them.

Practical Engineering has a great video on different sands for concrete use. The TLDR is that the quality or type of sand used doesn't matter as much as the techniques and other ingredients in the concrete, and if you engineer your concrete mix and structures based on the properties of the sand you are using every type of sand can be an equivalently strong concrete or very close.

[@Machine9000]

I learned about this a couple of years ago. Sand is the second most consumed resource in the world after water. However the sand must be from the bottom of the ocean or lake and cannot be from deserts. Its about sand quality for concrete glass, microchips, asphalt. Hospitals, airports, buildings all require insane amounts of sand! The dredging ruins underwater ecologies and is known to have sank two islands due to erosion
