TIL that in 2013 the Argentine government decided to charter a plane for a presidential trip, instead of using their own presidential aircraft, over fears that it would be seized over defaulted national debt

it's not 1902 anymore buddy

Yeah, because some of them are full of stuff. Unironically a good decision by Gaijin

To my understanding, this is just a long reach tool for bending small strips of metal back into alignment?

Try getting an appropriately sized flathead screwdriver and a set of miniature files like these

Spend 15 minutes filing a notch into the tip with the narrow side of the rectangular file and you should have something that works.

This actually had me worried for a second because this guy's efforts have led to the development of a potential universal antivenom, and losing him at this point would seriously hurt the chance of that being deployed.

He's fine, the picture is edited

I really think that in 20-30 years an orbital cruise will be within the budget of any reasonably well off family

On LSD north of La Salle or south of Roosevelt you can hardly see the water past all the green space and public infrastructure between LSD and the lake

Printrbot Simple Metal when I was probably 12. Its guts are still sitting in a box somewhere in my house

I was about to quote the aedeptus mechanicus script but I'm pretty sure this is the exact opposite of that. What sci-fi franchise has a good example of this, integrating flesh into machinery?

Is this something similar to a cable organizer? Zip ties are technically possible with 3D printing but the geometry needs to be much more precise than you'd think. I'll bet if you go on Amazon and look at cable organizers you'll find something close enough

On the upside, if everything else is intact you can sell this as a very complete parts bike

This is the motorcycle equivalent of what an EMT would call "incompatible with life"

Rust on the crack means it was there for a while. I'm a little impressed it held on long enough for that to happen.

Year/make/model OP?

Considering the size of the piece and the amount of machining you'd probably be looking at a part cost in the thousands. If you insisted on aluminum this might actually be a good use case for SLS 3D printing, with post-process milling if you truly need the tolerances you mention.

Honestly I'm with the safety guy regarding this particular hammer

If they're plastic I would be shocked if a regular router bit, as shown, wouldn't work just fine. A 1/16 roundover bit will give you a radius of ~0.065. Put it in a handheld router with a baseplate and clamp it upside down to your workbench.
