I don’t know any details about that particular case, but most amber alerts are issued for kidnapping that are essentially extra legal custody disputes, where one parent that does not have custody rights runs off with the kid.

Is it protomold? I’ve been wanting to give them a try.

I’ll forgive FO4 all its flaws save the glitchiness. Seriously guys the game crashes every time you step near an area of the map which is a requirement for many missions. How in the world did that make it past development?

I would think that it would be in VW’s interest to hire an independent lab to certify that it’s fixes work. The cost of testing should be negligable to them, if it works they can shout it from the rooftops and point to a respected independent lab, and if it doesn’t they have a chance to try something else before they…

Englang was not, and is currently not burning enough coal to alter the atmospheric co2 content enough to make it unbreathable for humans. We can tolerate a great deal of the stuff, or else we would quickly die in a enclosed room.

3d printing does have great potential in manufacturing if materials can improve and multi materials become common place. If you could, for example, print conductors directly into your housing, thus eliminating wiring harnesses, 30 minute print times become rather reasonable (assuming the housing can be made…

It depends on how the production operation is structured, but yes, per piece costs could well be as low as you are saying. I was trying to make my case using more conservative numbers, where the pieces would be molded by a small shop that wasn’t very good at what they do.

Sure. My point is that the previous pollution disasters weren’t caused by dumping carbon, but by using poor or non existant filtering. And that cleaning up particulate matter is a much simpler problem than reducing carbon

Visions of the future aside, it’s a terrible idea. If you were to mold this part conventionally, you’re looking at a $20k-$75k in tooling costs, and $0.25-$5.00 per part costs, with a cycle time of well under a minute (the trade off will be at how many parts the tool produces at a time, the more parts, the more…

The fog wasn’t caused by carbon emmissions, but particulate matter. They both have the same source, but it’s certainly possible to emit lots carbon with little particulate emissions.

The older definition of pollution is much easier to adress. You can filter out small particles, and you can trap and reduce the various nitrites and other free radicals. There is no need to change the entire energy infrastructure to do that, or invent new technology (although some may be helpful). You can also deal…

No Fairlady?

DMG did a fantastic take on that idea, you can see it here.

If I read that joke right, it’s really in poor taste.

The braided sheath is there to protect the inner hose from abrasion, such as where the line might be rubbing against the body on every single bump you pass over. It’s not the best way to do things, which is why you don’t see these on newer cars, but it is reasonably good at what its designed to do.

Obviously, having armor is better than not having armor. But if you look at the non-zero population who want to have some protection, but refuse to compromize their look and comfort (which we could well disagree on being the wrong priority, but we aren’t about to convince them otherwise) than this offers them just…

Combining a printer and a mill into a single unit is an idea whos time has come! Might I suggest an arguably better use for this hardware? Use the cutter to true up surfaces that require greater precision than the printer can achieve.

It’s less about making the suspension lighter, and more about making a lighter frame.

Even at $125/wheel, you must be using some very cheap tires for that to double the replacement costs.

Many had the screen built into the rearview mirror. When you’re not in reverse, you can’t tell its there.
