This is really good, thanks for submitting it.

I can see an immediate appliation for this technology: printing combustion chambers for regeneratively cooled liquid rocket engines. Electrforming is state of the art for these engines already. Sure, it's slow, but production rates aren't typically very high.

I note with interest the article links to: https://ferd.ca/awk-in-20-minutes.html

Very succinct quickstart guide.

I haven't worn a watch in over a decade. This project has me reconsidering.

I'd like to see a remake of Major Havoc and a homage to the original arcade Battlezone. FWIW, Major Havoc recieved a "Director's Cut" a few years ago: https://mhedit.askey.org

Pretty sure BRL-CAD is only for solid modeling. This is the first I've heard that BRL-CAD can sim propellant combustion. Can you provide a pointer to documentation? I tried a few searches and couldn't find anything relevant.

I've been meaning to learn BRL-CAD, but haven't had a strong motivator. This would be sufficient.

So you are saying Trump or Addleson or the Koch brothers should invest in the service.

If we use the wisdom history provides, we don't need to have the war.

I expect you could. Then you could install Win3.1 running on DosBox. Or even a recursive MAME install...

Thoughtful and interesting analysis. I wonder if the author has considered his that proposal is a double edged sword.

There are some real gems here. Love the plain text format.

Valid point. Also, if one wants to stretch the envelope, Harold Graham, flying the Bell Rocket Belt, performed the first rocket powered landing, April 20th, 1961 at Bell Aerospace, upstate New York. This development footage opens with that flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxmxbMdToR4

My math shows the technology to be 22 years old.

Not mentioned in the above link was an amateur group developing VTVL tech around the San Francisco bay area in the 90's. IIRC, it was EPRS. FWIW, they also invented a multi-rotor platform to test their conrol system that evolved into the modern drone.

From the linked page:

What does this course teach?

High-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants

The AHA Chain of Survival, specifically the BLS components

Important early use of an AED [Automated External Defibrillator]

Effective ventilations using a barrier device

Importance of teams in multirescuer resuscitation and performance as an effective team member during multirescuer CPR

Relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) for adults and infants

The state where I live has opt-in organ donation option when you apply for a driver's license/state ID. As a retired EMT in a rural area, I encountered organ donation cases twice in my career. Once, the patient was flown out, the other time, the orgqan donation crew was flown in. The first case, the patient had suffered a gunshot wound to the head that spared the autonomic functions, he was breathing on his own.

I do these kind of calculations all of the time and never realize units had this level of functionality. Wow, thanks Faaak!

E-ink to the rescue.

You might consider this: https://txtify.it/

It strips everything out and provides a plain text file.

Alternatively, there's always Ctrl-A or Ctrl-U.

Wouldn't a cast iron skillet on an induction cooker radiate enough heat to roast marshmallows?
