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 onl…

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 phosphor…

All things in moderation, including moderation.

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…

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 wit…

Why not? Britney Spears has a site about semiconductor physics https://britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm

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 opti…

>Am I doing it wrong? If you're not killing anything, then probably not. It's not a bad thing to be conscientious of, but if static just isn't a problem for you and you aren't hand…

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…

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…

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.

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/sf-man-sprayed-unhous... There's an article from San Francisco about a man being charged after hosing down a homeless woman. Ultimately the c…

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, respect…

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, t…

"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 Twitt…

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.

Was it the Encyclopaedia of Electronic Circuits by Leo Sands? They have their library posted online if you want to see what they have. Library: https://www.librarything.com/catalog…

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)…

It was when it happened to me, though yes, Darwinism for the passengers is much less valuable.

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…

>Google Maps: “Turn right” >Guy driving alongside the ocean: “ok” >Car: *splash* This seems like a learning opportunity. Or a Darwinian opportunity. Either way, self-solving.

Now I want to see if this can be done with a shoe instead of a traffic cone.
