@npub1353…786x a good friend in grad school had cobbled together enough tiny grants to do a single summer of field research, whose data was going to power the entire rest of her dissertation.

@npub1l0s…pgrv there are a LOT of things you can do with timber waste that capture it and put it to use rather than bury it in a hole. One of my favorites is to turn it into rigid insulation, which we need a lot of. TimberHP is just coming on the market in the U.S., but it’s a common product in Europe.
