For what it's worth, the 3D printer is a serious pain in the ass.

Me neither. Tourism could be big though.

I've also got a 3D printer. :D Thanks Chip.

I've got a CNC milling machine in my garage. Home built from a Chinese 3 in 1 mill lathe. I KNOW what's happening to the steel when the carbide bit bites into it, but I've never seen it in this light. Fascinating.

"And McDonald's, the undisputed king of shit you should not eat? McDonald's created the Snack Wrap."

I wonder if we can pass a law allowing families burying their dead to shoot Westboro church members. It sounds rational to me.

No, that's on the lame Earth. Different Earth.

I'd get bored.

At least the screams of little children can be muffled. Unlike those hellish motorcycles and the demonic riders.

And on the anti-earth the anti-humans hate bacon.

"The Kitchen Sink" HAHAHAHA! I f'king love it!

You aren't thinking tourist dollars. The entire city is screwing itself by outlawing this annual event.

I agree, but it is an amusing tack. The city sets the rules. They need to appeal to the city on grounds such as the rally brings in tourist dollars big time and they are screwing themselves by outlawing burning out.

I want to have Neal Stephenson's baby. I'm a man. But with the right technology, I think I could make it work.

You ever hear of insect politics?

Oh no, the Nvidia demos probably took quite a bit of time to code. Probably direct to hardware calls. Who knows.

Are you kidding me? That would be the penultimate find! Don't raise my expectation to that level!

I can't argue that one. There were good points to Black rain, but not many.

Wow, I would LOVE to dig through that pile of paper. Who knows what kinds of weird things/stories you could dig up.
