I need custom bumpers for some exposed bolts on a boat lift that are scratching the hell out of my pontoon. Modeling them has been on my todo for months. Saw this and after 5 minutes of prompting I have four custom bumpers printing. This is

I feel the same about my GW-M5610. I've only had it for about 7 years so I'm still on my original band.

I'm the same on the guitar side. I'll go weeks using a fractal fm9 straight into the PA. it's like playing through a computer which is awesome. however... I'll get real sick of the complexity and go back to my cranked tu

Olbers's paradox, also known as the dark night paradox, is an argument in astrophysics and physical cosmology that says that the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static universe. In the

I've always wondered how intentional Fred Rogers was when writing these songs. I've been in a shitty ska punk band for years and the hyperactive singer will be like, "Guys! I've got this great new song and it goes like t

Not all N series engines are awful. The N52, while not as amazing as the previous M52/M54 engines, is a fantastic, reliable engine. However, the 4 cylinder N20 used between 2011-2017 is the worst. Faulty timing chain guides often fail

I'm a terrible hobby musician and I love using the Mellotron that's in GarageBand or Logic. I had no idea what it really was before today (thanks for sharing the article) but it somehow always adds some sort of perfect, whimsical

Could that have been across from what is now Earthbound Beer? If so, they hand-dug all the debris out of the cave and you can pretty easily get a tour. The owner said the cave under the cave is off limits b/c they almost ran out of air

There is an extensive network of caves under my city that were used by beer breweries in the 1800's to store beer. They are all but inaccessible, and, at the time, kind of a myth. Most people didn't believe they still existed. I w

I learned about this from a talk given by one of the authors. The guy next to me asked, "If you open up the blood-brain barrier, doesn't that mean nasty things can cross, too?" and the author was like, "yep." There

AB did this for sure before the merger. Working there during my prime, going-out-to-the-bars age, I was told that I should only buy AB products and make sure the label was turned outward for others to see. Thought it was weird but I only dr

Hilarious! After a few of those, I taught my son how to open the javascript console and "hack" his favorite cookie clicker. He was so excited to show his friends but the school-provided chromebooks are really locked down. I was di

In this case, 'sic transit gloria' is another good one. sort of means, fame is fleeting. Also, the title of a great post-hardcore song.

My favorite somewhat related research is using focused high energy ultrasound with microbubbles to open the blood-brain barrier enough to allow therapeutics to pass through. Ultrasound is an old technique that sort of went out of style but

I love that you did this DIY. I just had a guitar built by a guy who also winds pickups per your specs - I loved that I could have him dial in the tone exactly how I wanted.

See the inboard brakes on 60's Jaguars - Sure, the unsprung weight and improved handling is nice but they are much harder to maintain because 1. you have to lift the car to see if they are worn and 2. if you have to repair a caliper it

How much money did they raise? like $1.2 billion? yikes. - edit - no, from what I can find they raised $100M then $350M last July and were looking to raise $500M earlier this month on a down round. Still... yikes.

Here's the thing about taking a 944 up to 120mph... the sound changes. Everything under 110 seems normal, but you get to a point and the aero changes and you know you're in an envelope some German engineers conjured up 35 years ag
