yeah this is my new d&d character she’s a half-tiefling, half water genasi warlock, she’s a Great Old One warlock and shes path of the blade..her weapon of choice is a trident, and her patron is a cthulu-esque squid-like leviathan…she comes from the noble background and is in line to become empress of her realm. she looks mostly like a grey skinned tiefling but because of her genasi heritage she also has ear-fins and spends a lot of her time in the water…shes neutral good…and dresses mostly in fuschia and gold………………………
One of my crowning moments of tiny!Aud sass was when I was seven or eight. I had just come out of the apartment with my arms full of My Little Ponies that I wanted to put in the backseat of the car. I asked my dad to open the door for me, but he was busy with something in the front seat and said, without looking at me, “Hold your horses!”
I said “I AM HOLDING MY HORSES.” and he finally turned around to look at me with my little face peeking out from behind ALL THESE RAINBOW PONIES and we both busted up laughing.
‘we are dumping all this waste that will not biodegrade and will still be present intact in hundreds of years’
‘we also have these roads that degrade in less then twenty years and need frequent costly repairs’
‘guess these two completely unrelated problems will never be solved’
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR
The government’s justification: tons of road construction workers will be out of work if we no longer have roads to repair.
Discuss.
Conversely, they could use the newfound time previously spent repairing roads and build new long-lasting roads in previously unpaved areas.
as i understand it, the problem for most places is that these plastics don’t respond well to extreme temperature differences. they could be a solution in places that don’t freeze, and don’t have wild temperature swings, like india. but in someplace like, say, new york, where it gets icy, or arizona, where day and night can be fifty degrees apart, the plastics break down.
they’re still working on it! but roads are a really high stress application. recycled plastics are a great resource but they can be brittle and they degrade under some conditions. the park benches in my minnesota town are made of recycled plastic, and they’re perfectly serviceable for five years or so, and then chunks start snapping off without warning. you don’t want that happening with roads while you’re driving on them. that would be bad.
