No apologies needed. Great that we got here. Cheers

Have you made simple mistake on your original comment?

That source is about the use of dried luffa, a cucumber like vegetable.

You commented about

dried sea cucumbers

From the Wikipedia article on sea cucumbers, “they are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body … found on the sea floor worldwide.”

Thus me having asked for a source.

This somehow reminds me of the plastic industry ploy to discredit cork stoppers and thus get wine with plastic stoppers. ---- No. No, the production of cork does not require the killing of the cork oak tree.

I’ma gonna need a better source for that, k !?..

The first advise is get expert help.

Find a civil engineer or a structures engineer and ask them.

That crack does not look good. If I remember correctly cracks with more than 1mm gap should not be ignored.

If you don’t want to follow any of the previous advise, carefully monitoring for movement on the crack on a medium to long timeframe is, IMHO, the most irresponsible you can be.

Great post! Thanks for this.

"Ninety percent of the world doesn’t need to reduce their [personal] emissions, but most readers of The Washington Post probably do,”

Thanks! And that is a very fair point.

I’m not sure I understand your stand. Are u implying nuclear power stations should be made even if not profitable?

Somehow I always think of the migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean. I hope events are unrelated.
