w-e-l-l, the actual chemical process (called hydration), theoretically goes on forever (albeit in an asymptotic curve), as long as it has some water to do the reaction... but what you say is true: depending on the environment, concrete can be strengthened by proper 'curing' (so to speak), as far as keeping it moist over the first week or so... the other major problem, is that ignorant mud pushers mix in *way* too much water because it makes it easier to "pour" (concrete should always be "placed", not "poured", says my old concrete structures prof) and slop around the concrete, but causes weaker concrete in several ways: tends to segregate the aggregate, and makes the cement itself weaker... been all kinds of admixtures for a long time for specialized mixes: retardants to slow the reaction, accelerants (stop flagging real words, you useless spel czech) for quick-setting, fiberglass threads for strength and to increase its resistance to cracking, etc... oh, concrete WILL crack, just a matter of controlling it where you want it to crack...
i will only mention that in many jurisdictions, you can volunteer for jury duty...
in practice, i imagine that means only law-and-order authoritarian types with too much time on their hands actually do so, NOT fair-minded citizens interested in real justice...
the only 'reason' i am signed up for it, is because i was essentially tricked into it when i got my nexus tablet...
i think i have been on it a total of twice: once just to see what it was, and once to 'like' or 'plus' a friend's daughter's 'stuff' she was selling on her page...
all that 'social media' crap is not worth a cup of warm spit to me...
i seriously doubt this is ONLY the brits who are in to this kind of dirty deeds done dirt cheap... after all, WE 'used to' (*cough*stilldo*cough*) engage in ALL KINDS of so-called 'dirty tricks' to fuck up dissenters and other true patriots; what makes you think we have stopped ? ? ? further, we have some 'proof', in that -as i recall- the military has actually bought -what amounts to- sockpuppet software, which allows one person to setup and use HUNDREDS of 'different' accounts/pseudonyms to astroturf for/against issues online, spread FUD and propaganda, etc... two other factoids i like to repeat, since the lamestream media will not: 1. it *used to* be that the USG was FORBIDDEN BY LAW to propagandize us lowly serfs... 2. we are STILL in a formal 'state of emergency' renewed every 6-12 months since 9/11...
gee, i'll go out on a limb here, and say that has NEVER happened, *and* (given how it is set up) will NEVER happen, no matter how egregious the violation is... it is a bullshit 'safeguard' with no teeth...
to live is to kill, whether it is a tyson chicken stuck in a stack of 50,000 in a warehouse, or a happy farm-raised bovine, or a sheaf of wheat, or a carrot... we kill them all so we may live... that's life...
to say that animals are feeling creatures who should not be killed, is to ignore that plants have 'feelings' too... IF a plant could communicate to us, or have big brown doe-eyes, don't you think THEY would say: heh, don't cut me down and masticate me, man ! ! ! so, we are left with being 'breatharians'... (a cult which actually exists which believes you can get all your nutrients, etc from breathing... i think they are dying out faster than they can reproduce...)
sure, okay... on the one with the airfoils, just *HOW* is that going to 'work' ? ? ? i can conceive that the airfoils provide *some* sort of force to the wheel, but why whatever force isn't negated on the 'other side' of the mechanism when it is going in the opposite direction, i don't get it... (not to mention, the 'cost' of the gizmo being rotated is not negligible; exactly why -especially bicyclists- try to lower the weight of their wheels, which gives you more bang for your buck versus lowering the weight of the (static) frame...) have i mentioned my invention? helium-filled tires for your flying car ! ! ! (or maybe i could just turn the airfoils on the other wheel, backwards)
the REAL reasons, bolivia, peru, brazil, etc are being whipsawed by economic problems, are the machinations of -you know- pure-as-the-driven-snow uncle sam and his evil minions of doom who are INSTIGATING the economic problems through the elites who still control most of the media and financial instutions/money/power... WE are putting roadblocks, speedbumps, and chokepoints at every nexus of international trade, etc that we can do to fuck them up BECAUSE THEY ARE 'SOCIALIST'... you are a tool... (oh, and a coward: one only has to look at virtually ANY of your posts/threads where you disappear when you are called out on your bullshit... you really are a despicable person...)

"i am all for joking" THAT I APPROVE OF... there, FTFY...
(sorry Josh, but if you are not for the free speech of your worst enemy spouting his most vile speech, you are -alas- not for free speech at all... it turns out -like MOST sheeple who do not understand the concept- you are for speech 'you like'...)
further, i would only say i think it is HIGHLY instructive how often it turns out that the most vehement -for example- anti-gay crusaders turn out to be tapping their toes in a wide stance in public restrooms... funny how often that turns out to be the case...
thus, ninja's joking speculation may have more validity to it than a simple insult to the guy... would NOT surprise me given how many times that turns out to be so...
