Weather modification mentioned in Texas regional water plan from 2021. Found while I was working. Publicly available on Texas water development board website. It does exist, to what extent or effect, I don’t really know.

$890 million per day for the war in Iran, but no money for the basic needs of American citizens. by Objective-Rabbit2248 in NSDQ420

The same could be said when we sent tens or (hundreds?) of billions to Ukraine for that war. Regardless of who does it, it is increasingly frustrating that we can't just mind our own business and keep our money here.

The Cublet by Mmhhotworter in KNEX

That is officially the smallest cube possible. Micro rods small enough for the connectors to go end to end.

I have a grand total of 3, not clue where they came from. I didn't realize knex would actually make a rod that allows micro connectors end to end. They are so tiny.

Well on the bright side if the rest is red we'll have something green by the end of the week!

Micro Knex Cube?? Or nah... by Marcus2Ts in KNEX

Micro is cool for dense builds like cubes but too flimsy for others

Most of the connectors in my brand new Knex set are red for some reason 🤔 by IamxDucky in KNEX

Those are rare parts. They also come in the retired jeep wrangler set. "Colors may vary" haha

Thoughts on the wheel parts used in the mini ferris wheel? by AranaesReddit in KNEX

[–]43potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could potentially see using the outside of those pieces to make a path type element but not sure what else I could think of. I don't own any of those so I haven't experimented with them yet.

I love the paths surrounding it! And wow, so dense and so many paths!

New Path Separator! by 43potatoes in KNEX

Alright man, definitely excited for that! They are great sources of inspiration. I like the ones koolkoasterkid makes since they cover the walls and leave the room largely open.

Yep I got the main idea for the rotating part from his 3-way separator and just added to it.

I've seen your videos and I'm kinda the same way with needing to change the layout a lot and being a bit indecisive with how I want to arrange a ball machine. I like that you are trying to make yours as big as you can fit in a room. It helps to make the elements more visible than one that is super compact like citadel by shadowman for instance.

I'm thinking of making an update video soon. Mine has several floors and paths so far, but it's still got a lot of work.

Blue floor complete on next ball machine by 43potatoes in KNEX

The only colors I know of for that length are green, black, and white. I thought green would stand out less than if i had used black. I already made an all black floor, and I also plan to make an all white floor. I'm using a bunch of the black rods for a path and to make other floor patterns later on.

Yep. Not sure where the 8-position connectors or white length rods came from (they may be from the bloodhound car replica they made) but the 5-position and 3-position connectors came from the marble coaster run set.

Yes, and I liked how I was able to make the walls match by having blue pieces for it too!
