I fucking hate Las Vegas. Had to go there in February for the World of Concrete this year and am fairly certain I got Covid, testing wasn't available yet so I just suffered for a week thinking I had the flu. The coworker I shared a room with was an anyone but Bernie lib, we watched Iowa caucus together. I remembering walking on the strip listening to Felix's monologue on how hopeless and lonley this country is. It was the weirdest feeling being around so much opulence and destitution in the same space.
Sugar slows the chemical reaction of hydration. You cannot make a concrete milkshake as Andy Ngo would imagine. Adding a handful of portland cement to a milkshake will not make it stiffen up.
Yes and no, It's a huge industry. I have done concrete for 15 years, my dad was a concrete contractor, he got me started as a teenager. I know alot about flatwork as I mostly finished.
Every supplier or vendor in the industry gives out swag at their booths. Seminars consisting of lectures or hands on demos. This engineer, Tyler Ley, speaks there and he has some good youtube content.
Oh cool, we might have met, my company sent me to World of Conrete too. Always love to see fancy new gadgets that don't work and fall asleep during lectures.
Did you take any seminars? I attended the moisture and rebar classes, which were great, as well as the project management classes, which were absolutley useless.
I went to the five engineering ones, pretty interesting stuff although it was code heavy, which isn't as useful for us since we are Canadian. The hands on courses they do sound really neat though.

Second most consumed product in the world behind water means it's the best industry to agitate if ya wanna start a labor movement.
