It's cheap and looks good when you're trying to exploit the property market. It's obviously not fire-resistant enough to be safe for large buildings due to the proportionally higher risk and consequences of a fire, but It's legal in the US on buildings under 40 ft.

Not a firemans, but it wouldn't make much difference on a detached house, say, because any internal fire would either alert or kill the residents before the place went up like a Roman candle.

otoh it's really uncommon for individual houses to be cladded, as cavity wall insulation is cheaper, more effective, harder to gently caress up and less ugly. So who the gently caress knows.

more rigid, less rigid, stronger, lighter, thinner, more sizes available, etc

oh, and cheaper

some discussion by Alucobond itself here: https://www.alucobondusa.com/blog/how-alucobond-acm-has-evolved-to-meet-strict-building-standards/

the US regs it describes seems to be straightforward: PE version allowable close to the ground, otherwise no. if there are more measures taken against fire (sprinklers etc) then more of the flammable stuff may be used, otherwise no.

Sure, but when you're on site and poo poo doesn't fit, its quickest and easiest to use bits of batten and whatnot to bodge it so it looks alright and no one really minds because no new expensive and time sapping re-engineering is required and no one notices anyway.

Except of course all the clever safety/fire/whatever considerations designed into the product have been completely voided.

Look if there's one thing Corbyn has been perfectly clear on, it's that he's a bloodthirsty maniac who would as PM do everything within his power to oppress the Jewish people. Jeremy "Shoah II: Electric Boogaloo" Corbyn, that's what they call him in Golders Green since he dropped trou and laid some long snaking logs in the shape of a swastika.

I'm pretty sure kibbutzim were unpopular with people who grew up on them, too. Forcibly separating children from their parents isn't such a good idea.

Sargon sure sounds a lot like a cretin but the only thing I can provably say is that he quoted the wrong study on campus sexual assault and then either didn't read or ignored a fuckload of it to get his views out so I'm not enormously predisposed to think he's got Cool And Good opinions about brexit.

I think the one video of his I've seen is this one.

He goes of on a monologue about rape and sexual assaults on campus being inflated and then not only cites a study which proves himself wrong, he literally takes a picture of the section proving himself wrong and underlines the pertinent parts saying so.

Definitely not a brilliant researcher, very much a complete loving idiot who lacks the ability to read sentences correctly to support his hosed up views.

The governments spin for May's visit is that "she wasn't there for a photo opportunity, but to assess the case for a public inquiry."

As if the case for a public inquiry wasn't made when the building containing hundreds of people went up in flames.

Not sure if this is :thejoke: or not, but I don't know enough about NMC registration to know whether the same would apply to nurses as presumably applies to AHPs. As in, could a nurse carrying out a WCA be in breach of professional responsibilities if he/she ignored medical advice in order to deem someone fit to work.

He wouldn't. As a former Remain leaning person, I'm now leaning Brexit (or Lexit) with regards to a possible Corbyn Government. The neo-liberal establishment of the EU doesn't treat actual left-wing governments well at all, and half of the stuff Corbyn would like to do would go against their wishes.

Why would the EU take issue with Nordic style democratic socialist policies?

They're not strictly communist anymore, but this isn't true. I know a lot of people who were raised on them and love it and would never consider any other sort of life even after experiencing both kinds, and some people who think it's a load of crap and would never go back. The fact that there are still some successful ones, and less successful ones should tell you how that works. By the way, in Israel specifically it's less to do with communism and more to do with 'this is a good quality of life place to live, also we're kibbutzim are super patriotic and regularly send their kids to elite IDF units!!! ZIONISM!"
