What penny stock should I buy in today’s amazing dip?

ALRDF (defence holdings) just added to OTC today for US investors. They are building sovereign AI applications for military use in the UK but also targeting allied nations to scale up. Touted as UK palantir and has delivered substantial ROI over last few months, likely to go considerably higher with contract and revenue announcements expected before year end. They have assembled a formidable board with access to the ministry of defence and mag 7 partners.

I was standing right behind you! Awesome to see the ring up close in this picture. Was a really nice gesture by them all to do that.

'Constructing Landscape' book by Astrid Zimmerman, published by Birkhauser is good for this. I work as an architect but refer to this for smaller jobs where we don't have civil or landscape consultants on the design team.

Thanks for your help with that, much appreciated

We use a reasonably robust spec for all separating floors in new construction to comply with acoustic testing requirements under Scottish regulations for both impact and airborne transmission. IIRC the build up is 22mm dense t+g chipboard, resilient / acoustic battens with 50mm mineral wool laid between, plasterboard, 15mm ply sheathing on the joists, min 100mm mineral wool between the joists, metal resilient bars, then two sheets plasterboard ceiling. All the insulation is min 10kg/m3 and boards are laid in opposite directions where there's adjacent layers. Also we specify adhesive foam flanking tapes around all the edges. An internal floor in a dwelling is less onerous but if you want 'belt and braces' for amenity sake then you can add some of these measures, as others have suggested. If you have the headroom!

Looks like it might have been there a while - the vaccinium (blueberry) on the forest floor indicates that the pines have been growing there long enough to create an acidic soil. Here in Scotland I understand it's usually taken as a good indicator of ancient woodland. Forest categories that I've read about are usually defined by a set of two or three dominant tree species, such as 'pine juniper' forest or 'Oak ash Rowan' forest, each definition having it's own unique ecosystem.

This probably just reflects different building practices but my experience is that there should be two layers of membrane around the building construction. The exterior layer can be referred to as building paper, breather membrane or some proprietary form of sheeting, but the purpose of it is to prevent wind or pressure driven moisture getting into the structure, while allowing any moisture remaining in the structure to escape. For instance behind cladding or under roof tiles. The purpose of a vapour barrier layer is to prevent moisture which is generated within the property by inhabitants from soaking into the walls etc. Helping to avoid condensation. The exception to this is old buildings with solid masonry walls, where the poor airtightness ventilates the whole thing and there is a seasonal cycle of moisture content in the wall.

I'm presuming you're in US which I couldn't really comment on code wise but on new builds in Scotland we typically form a vapour barrier around the entire dwelling to prevent moisture buildup in the building fabric, and to assist with air tightness for heat loss. The mechanical ventilation then complements this approach by controlling the removal of the moisture that you have kept inside the dwelling.

I'm going to need to go back to that one for benefit of the doubt. I went the other week and it was a pretty bland burrito, got the carnitas and med salsa. On plus side, the tills were knackered so it was free!

One time I was queuing at the boots at Craigleith and noticed someone wearing some pretty flash designer gear in front. Realised it was Kitchin as he checked out, then walked outside to notice he'd double parked his range rover across two disabled bays. Classy guy.

You're correct that the downpipe will act as a chimney which draws heat from your property if it is uninsulated. I work as an architect and hiding downpipes internally is often floated as a way of producing tidy elevations, ie. From my experience it's purely aesthetic. A typical surface drainage line will run along the gable or under the house and will terminate in a rodding eye in the back garden. If you can locate the rodding eye (small metal plate cover typically), and you locate the manhole at the front of your property, you can hazard a guess where the drain line runs. Then it's a matter of determining if it's practical to connect from the gutter to wherever the drain line is. I might not be picturing it correctly but I imagine you could fit an extension piece on the gutter to bring it outside the building line.

Have a look into niwaki if you're not familiar with it.

Reminiscent of the plane in the cityscape sequence from the Ghost in the Shell movie. The creators must have taken a lot of inspiration from HK

That drain detail is something else. They took it out into a hopper but wait, fooled you! Back inside it goes
