By the time they do a final release we'll have people playing it on the Moon and Mars.

Yeah, I'm curious how Prusa will go about enforcing this license and how it will play out for them overall, especially more that they're pursuing patents. Voron isn't quite the only open printer. There are some others that ar

Huh, it very well might. 90Sr is a beta emitter, which should excite phosphorescent materials nicely. Even better, it decays into Yttrium 90, and Yttrium Aluminate is also phosphorescent (it's also the YA in YAG lasers). Anyone have so

My custom built 3D printers are somehow less annoying to use than my HP inkjet and laser printer, and I was already planning on getting a different brand when they died. This seems like HP is suddenly trying to play hard to get when they&#x

Much of the time the size of your army was determined by the number of able bodied men that lived on your lands, and they were armed with whatever weapons and gear they brought with them. Feeding and housing them wasn't that much of an

It also depends on storage method. Cryogenic and compressed hydrogen have extreme risks completely unrelated to the flammability of the gas itself, while various metal hydride options are mostly a danger if you drop the tank on your foot.

Most of what I've been able to find have been people getting busted for manufacturing or possession without an associated violent crime. It also appears a number of departments can't (or won't) recognize printed firearms and

It hasn't affected my usage so far. I even sometimes use yt-dlp when YouTube proper won't serve a video without pausing to buffer every ten seconds, so in some ways it works better than the web interface.

Yeah, hens aren't loud or smelly, so as long as you take measures to curb issues with pests they attract, they're fine. Just don't get a rooster.

I'd go for Modernist Cuisine At Home by Nathan Myhrvold, then his Modernist Cuisine set for a more thorough look at food science. Neither is exactly cheap ($90 and $500ish, respectively), but your local library might have at least the

Traditionally, hand carve the ring out of wax and use a lost wax casting method. These days you can 3D print in a wax filament or machine the wax in multiple pieces, hand finish, then cast.

"Coke talks about Coke. Pepsi talks about Coke. It's good to be Coke." When people stop talking about Twitter in the same breath they discuss any other social network is when Twitter dies. Until then, good luck.

A Tesla coil would turn an incandescent into a plasma globe, a fluorescent will light as normal, and an LED wouldn't do anything. The video is fake.

I don't see those two ideas being contradictory. After all, what's more cyberpunk than a corporation adopting a child, locking him into a fake ("virtual" seems an appropriate word) reality, and monitoring his every move

I'm not even remotely suggesting eugenics. What I am saying, in a rather tongue in cheek manner, is that sooner or later your own judgement needs to come into play and driving into the water because the voice told you to is probably a

The friction seems to be a selling point for a significant number of users that want to keep Joe and Jane Average out. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out, but it seems unlikely that any ActivityPub-based system will ever a 1:
