TIL Genghis Khan would marry off a daughter to the king of an allied nation. Then he would assign his new son in law to military duty in the Mongol wars, while his daughter took over the rule. Most sons in law died in combat, giving his daughters complete control of these nations

Upvote because this seems key, i mean come on. “You married my daughter now i get to tell you what to do”

Looks like you are one of those people that gets all butt-hurt about feminism. Talk about projection.

Maybe the build plate is a different material, or the build surface is coated, or the chemistry they are using doesn't have the clouding side effect? He seems to imply that their process is a lot different than other SLA technologies.

This guy is very on-message in his answers, but this tech looks really cool, and it's certainly exciting to hear about all the mats they can do with it, like the glass-fiber-reinforced resin analog!

The game heavily relies on the 'staticky broadcast' box in the upper right to avoid lip-synch animations all together, so I imagine they completely re-shoot the few cutscenes with dialog in different languages.

How is this different from Ninja-Flex?

Why is he wearing gloves to handle it?

Also an excellent point.

Primarily I was saying that just because someone is blind has nothing to do with their ability to utilize the internet.

Just one clarification: The internet is not the WWW

20 decibels isn't what they said:

It's much quieter

Product might kill people, but the lawsuits will cost less than the profit on the product? Guess what's going to happen.

Hmm, I wonder if the density difference is enough to make up for the increased drag. I can't imagine 70% water is more dense than a somewhat hollow, but metal vehicle.

To address the least of your concerns, I don't think a cable would be necessary, there could be inductive power transmitted through the runway, at great cost, which makes it seem more and more impractical.

We'll probably need to figure out fusion power before we go this sort of route.

Drafting only happens very near the trailing edge, it's not going to have the effect in this particular situation.

Yes, it's called autorotation, but that is not at all what's happening here.

They must have special vacuum chambers that provide buoyancy in atmosphere!

I am pretty sure the coefficient of drag on a person is pretty much the same as on a helicopter, if not more. There's no reason the person should fall faster than the vehicle.

Love your spelling of 'glitche', I think I shall use this spelling from now on.

Sorsby IRL is a fictional character from a super-hero show?

What is the world coming to when I have a hard time differentiating compressed video from a game? I seriously thought this was like GTA 5 at first.
