It happened a lot more in the beginning :-)

Now I'm the one always making boring jokes - i.e. jokes about the removal of metal from deep bores. Also ones about edge-cases of CAD files.

We (I?) have a good time with puns / dad jokes at Plethora.

Jeremy,

As someone who setup a 4 axis in grad school, and now designs in Al as part of the day job, you guys have done a great job with the little infographics that describe what capabilities you have.

Cool idea, like lightweight version of Protolabs, but with real time quoting.

Strictly speaking, they could hire non-U.S. persons, but that requires a specific individual exemption from the state department. I don't know how hard it is, but I suspect it is only something they w…

There are certainly places where ITAR could be described as "overly broad" (for instance, the infrared cameras used by firefighters are limited due to ITAR restrictions), but the only difference between an Falcon 9 and an ICBM is the bit on the end...

That said, a large part of the world has little need for just a different variation of their existing ICBM's.
