By the time we have the capabilities to ship concrete to mars, I’m sure we’ll know if this works there or not

The only example on why it shouldn’t is corporate greed.

Amazing. Hopefully Mr. Pickles is just the tip of the spear for this species as he continues the ties that brined.

>According to the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, each pound of concrete releases 0.93 pounds of carbon dioxide.

I am skeptical this isn't a scam

Removal from the lab medium stops it from growing. But if that somehow DIDN'T, cooking and/or your stomach acid would do a pretty good job.

It really isn't "cancer", but even if it were, the cells you eat get digested down to their amino acids so they cease to be anything by the time they enter you.

I've been reading about this for 5+ years at least. No one in the actual construction industry has ever heard of it nor used it.

As someone who suffers from scoliosis - and has known dozens of scoliosis patients - She doesn't look like anyone I've ever met with it (except really mild cases)

Her one shoulder should be higher then the other. Her head might lean to one side. Her hips might be uneven. And maybe one of her legs should be "longer" then the other. Depending which direction the spine goes it might push her body forward or backwards.

So. Basically someone didn't do any research - slapped a back brace on it and said 'she's disabled! We're such a great company'

Downvoted for being fake uplifting news.

She probably doesn't even have any surgical scars running along 80% of her spine and sides after the correction surgery.

If you guys want, I can post some picture of a REAL scoliosis person - I got x rays, mris and some grarly scars to show.

I like how this solution doesn’t involve forcing ppl who can’t afford to “go green” in every aspect of their live to foot the bill for climate change.
