Is it gonna just be this for 130 episodes?

I will burn this fucking place to the ground before I get rid of that mirror.

I live in New York and go to a lot of hockey games. We don’t have guys like this anymore.

Oh buttercup.

I can’t imagine that the manufacture of a battery on this scale can possibly be more efficient than just using hydrogen as an energy storage medium. And a hydrogen generation system doesn’t have to be replaced every 5 years...

Bullshit. Steadicam operators have careers that only last like 12 years because they blow out their backs carrying 120 extra pounds all day.

Frankly- I don’t give a shit about 3d printing. I throw ceramics on a pottery wheel- and one of my interests while exercising that discipline is finding forms that are impossible to create in any other way (two-piece contruction, slip casting, etc).

Ok.

But then how do you fuse copper-to-copper?

Could someone explain, in plain english, how this object could be manufactured without the use of an additive 3d printer?

I’m talking about inverting the modern western cost/benefit ratio that makes large consumables disposable.

“the process is time consuming so one-off costs are still high and there is no feasible way to scale up production and reduce costs to the levels of mass manufactured parts.”

“3d scanning” was the wrong term.

At that point, the barrier of entry to the average consumer as far as time/expense is way too great. Certainly too great for 17-year-old me.

Yes, it’s expensive right now. Just like consumer-grade polymer 3d printing was expensive 10 years ago.

Yeah. I know. I’m saying that we should change the definition of “patent.”

Not true homie. I had a perfectly good 1980 diesel bens as a kid- new tensioners would have cost 2 grand (less than the value of the car).

I always hoped that one day, all out of production parts on old cars would be 3d scanned-

How about “use it or lose it?” If you aren’t actively working to bring your patent to market via a product, you lose your rights to it.

I just sent you a link a google list of dozens of articles- some of them 5 years old- that document proven, fail-safe technologies that use conventional nuclear waste as fuel for smaller reactors.
