[03:08:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> A&M==aggies
[03:08:13] <Bytram> that I knew
[03:08:23] <Bytram> Oh, you mean concrete blocks!
[03:08:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, just a brick with three holes in it. they turn them so they don't show.
[03:08:51] <Bytram> about 9"x9"x18"
[03:08:57] <Bytram> huh
[03:09:02] <Bytram> is new to me
[03:09:05] <Bytram> TIL
[03:10:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> odd. they're insanely common. the holes are just in the top and the bottom and you never see them cause they're covered by other bricks.
[03:10:52] <Bytram> what's the point?
[03:11:11] * Bytram only recalls seeing solid, red-colored (okay, occasionally sand-colored) bricks
[03:11:26] <Bytram> do they run rebar through 'em?
[03:11:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> saves clay for the brickmakers and saves weight for the engineers and the guys who have to carry them.
[03:12:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. they just use them like any other bricks. hell, half the houses you see are probably using three hole bricks.
[03:12:37] <Bytram> I take it they are still strong enough, if maybe not quite as strong, weight savings DO add up.
[03:13:04] <Bytram> less load on a footing when you have multi-story building
[03:13:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> slightly cheaper too i expect
[03:13:26] <Bytram> prolly

[18:57:54] <exec> └─ 13Trump to replace Tillerson with Mike Pompeo: Reports | News | Al Jazeera
[19:46:18] <FatPhil> Tillerson was the 'moron' guy, wasn't he?
[19:55:58] <Bytram> don't think so... he's the Secretary of State, IIRC. Whenever I've heard a report about him
[19:57:18] <Bytram> Tillerson often deals with the folks one-on-one after Trump has a tweet-storm... quenches the flames, so to speak
[19:58:22] <Bytram> e.g. Trump called NK Leader Kim something like 'little rocket man' and Tillerson was the one who "reframed" the president's tweets to be more diplomatic.
[19:59:10] <Bytram> I must admit I had my qualms about an ex-Exxon leader as Sec of State, but from the reports I've heard, he seems to have a calm and level-headed demeanor -- call me pleasantly surprised.
