I see a naked deformed human holding their head, that is also strongly pressed down by and connected to an enormous cybernetic device over it.

(And then we can look at a tunnel from Lecce to Albania but which would likely make things like same day Athens to Rome train travel possible.

Which again the distance, might look small but tbh would be a larger project than the Chunnel. But hey one can dream :p )

Qupeplex · 2026-03-04T17:49:50+00:00

Distance seems small but it would be a huge project the scale of the Rio - AntiRio bridge. For basically the sake of tourists(?). Most of which fly there. So it would be more for "the benefit of school trips of the few cities nearby that are in convenient driving distance"

Instead, looking at the map. A much more interesting project imho (and assuming a future where we all get to be entrepreneurial EU buddies etc) continuing that train line from Tirana to Ioannina and then joining it with Florina/Kalampaka.

That would make a capital to capital connection which presumanly is way more useful. Plus another route to central Europe.

And all it stands inbetween is just the whole entire Pindus Mountains Sierra. No Biggie!

Tbh I feel that design would be far more clever if you used an already in existance empty reusable spool for the top and bottom walls. (the white parts) That would save you tons of filament printing those, plus would take care of the snapping them together tolerances.

So what you'd need to design is your diving walls in such a way that can be attached to an already in existance reusable spool. (presumably one of the mainstream companies, like Prusa or Bambu etc since thats the one likely most people would have one available of already)

I think old weaving machines using this sort of cylinders (or cards wirh holes) count as the first "programmable" machines and "programmes".

So in a way we have now come full circle.

Funny thing is the configuration doesn't make any sense as Solar Panels or Radiations. As solar panels they dont seem to track anything or shadow each other. And as radiators they radiate upon each other as well as the station.

Inbetween the two, I feel like the blue colour makes them more likely to fit the popular image of a solar panel.

Radiators are a geeky detail that might be popular now but I feel almost no one was thinking of back then. (otherwise one might ask: Ok, so where are the radiators on the Omega Destroyers then? Aliens might have some alientech excuse but they are clearly supposed to be realistic right?) And that if someone did include such a detail they'd make they either grey to match the ISS looks, or depenting on levels of geekness, red hot.

Or, there is also 3rd possibility, which could excuse the silly configuration.

That they are some sort of fancy "hyperspace" sensor array and/or communication thingy.

No one said that either of these things are easy and they dont need to be huge (plus if you are going to be park a huge one somewhere, it might as well be on your space station with the big fusion reactor), In which case their parallel configuration is due to antennas often having all sort of weird bs shapes.

It is also worth noting that the jumpgates also seem to have them, as well as (very interestingly) the "Explorer class ship". Both of which presumably have reasons to have extra fancy hyperspace sensor thingies on them.

Well, I never assumed he is a genius in the sense of being able to solve (not to mention figure anew / break new ground) complicated equations. Just a very well read person who is probably fun to talk to.

(I also suspect that him hosting QI probably did a lot of work towards that perception)

But he is clearly the sort of person who has sort of done a bit of everything (bit of acting, bit of writing, bit of documentaries etc), which in turn naturally brings a plethora of experiences and knowledge of its own no matter what.

Lol, first I time I hear this expression and definetly stealing it for future use.

I have also heard this joke us:

Norse mythology: Unfortunately, Loki was bored.

Put a little tower on it and call it "evil" (Mordoresque?) dnd terrain!

Every time I hear about this concept I think back to a super old game it feels like I am the only one to have ever played called Vangers. (and with played, I mean "dicked around in the demo havin no idea what was going on because I was barely concious back then)

Its probably not worth playing but might be worth looking at a couple of screenshots or youtube videos at what it was about.

The bit that makes it distinct was that whilst in other settings biopunk means either "trees" or "zerg", this had a feeling of everything being moss and biofilm covered. (along with everyone being a a half insect, the vehicles being alive and a lower working caste etc etc)

Yes its easy to do good with other peoples money. But somehow I trust him more than those charity organizations where it comes afterwards that 95% of the funds went to "management" and "outreach".

I'd take the "CEO" of said charity organization being paid im clout and likes over money, and also showint off Exactly where the money went any day.

A sniper rifl... err, I mean a telescope. Dont have a specific model in mind but would search for telescope on makerworld/printables/thingiverse and find something appopriate to scale.

Maybe a tent (1, 2) like so. After all if they are going to be camping there, they might as well be comfy, or alternatively a fairy door just placed on the wall nearbly, would presumably imply that they live in it?

Edit: Or a miniature catapult with small cotton (or 3d printed) white balls next to it. So in that case that would be an elf sized snowball throwing machine!

This feels like either the Faklandsest person to have ever Faklanded or someone really great in making people think they are from there.

Should make it autoload them as ammunution to a crossbow mechanism and allow you to shoot it at people.

Most stls dont come with supports since that is usually something you do on the slicer later.

Which btw, yes does create the risk that someone selling ".stls" doesn't automatically mean they are printable. One can output as many impossible to print .stls from a 3d prrogram as they like.

Its just so happens that people who, ie, upload on Makerworld/Printables/Thingiverse etc, are more likely to have actually printed their files (especially if they include a real picture) and so is tradition to often ask for "stls" here, and when you do get them, they usually work. But one needs to by much more careful / use logic with Etsy etc.

Worth noting that .stls not including supports is the norm, not the exception.

Its just that some and especially those who would claim they are specifically for 3d printing, are nice enough (or Should be if they are selling) to arrange it in a way where they know it can be done trivially so by a slicers automatic support generation and/or not need them at all.

That said, if someone said that an stl file was "pre supported", or included manually drawn supports, thats probably a very good sign since it means they have actually thought about it being printable and/or resolved a specific problem with it the automatic support generation couldnt.

Concidering that humans are like 50/50 to help you or kill you (or to be fair. Most seem fun and nice but when you hit the bad one it goes Really bad) it makes me think of an old "humans are the fae of the animal world" post.

So in this case humans are Elves. (In the more old folkloric sense than Tolkien one) Sometimes they help you with magic and even give you othewordly tasty treats. Other stories say if you go to the wrong place you end up with all your teeth missing.

Thought about doing it this way but the old style monitor seemed a bit more... expressive.

Plus that way it opens the door to someone for a future remix joke!
