With the current hard seltzer craze, I can't believe they're not bringing Zima back.

TIL that all the poop in the world's tallest building is trucked out because it's not connected to the city sewer.

Lol...that place looked like a dumpster fire on TV. Speaking of dumpster fires...Torrey Pines is a goat ranch with a great view. We paid over $250 to play it, and the course conditions were demonstrably worse than my local muni that I pay $9 to play on the weekends. The fastest greens I ever...

My group was supposed to go to Pinehurst last November, but some of the guys complained that it was too expensive (it wasn't), so we ended up going to Crossville, TN. Tennessee was OK, but the courses were short and goofy (lots of 90 degree doglegs, and tons of elevation change). A friend of...

Interesting choice for a first post on an engineering forum.

Yep, same. I wanted a Tesla since they were announced, but could never justify the cost of an S. Then I test drove one at an event for my company, and decided I could no longer resist. I asked the Tesla rep how long it would be before I could get a 3 without a pre-order (this was Spring 2016...

Have you looked at the Tesla Model Y? It has more cargo space than the 3, but it’s not as expensive as the S. If I were buying right now, it’d be between the Y and S (currently driving a 2016 Model S).

I wonder what percentage of buildings would remain standing if a true, independent review was made of every building in the country, and those deemed dangerous were demolished. I say we'd fare better than other places (like India and China), but there would be a fair few buildings being...

Neck gaiters, bandanas, and a few other types of masks aren't approved for air travel either. I just flew, and saw the gate agent make a guy that looked to be wearing a standard cloth mask change to a surgical mask. I didn't hear the explanation of what was wrong with the one he was wearing...

I don't feel like plotting the dates on a calendar to see if they fall every 6 days, but there are indeed 65 countries that have gained independence from Britain.

I just got back from a golf trip to San Diego and Phoenix. San Diego was awesome, but playing 36 holes a day in Phoenix heat was a bad idea.

I sprung for a Trijicon ACOG for my AR-10. Anybody ever used one? Steep learning curve leaving both eyes open (which is absolutely necessary to keep the reticle in focus), but that thing is badass when you get used to it.

I shot 69 in the 2nd round of the club championship this year to overcome a 5 shot deficit, and won the first playoff hole to win back-to-back years.

I read that as Phantasmagoria the first time. That was a good game, and terrifying for the time.

The little Sunlu UV curing box that came with the MatterHackers kit is basically functional. It's only 12 watts max (the power adapter that came with it is only 12v at 1 amp), and the simple timer included with it only goes up to 600 seconds. I have found that sometimes isn't enough curing...

The print has to be rinsed and lightly brushed with a solvent (IPA or ethanol are commonly used) to remove uncured resin. Then the solvent needs to be washed off with water. Then it's preferable to dry everything. Then the model needs to be exposed to UV light for 5 to 30 minutes (either in...

So, I unintentionally acquired a resin 3D printer. It was another work freebie. It's a Peopoly Moai, laser SLA printer. The client said it was involved in a fire, but I didn't find anything wrong with it during my study. They gave us notice to dispose of the evidence, so I disposed of it...

I thought that number looked a little low, then I checked the numbers. Only 15% of that group are Democrat or leaning. I'd wager that most of the remaining 27% are Libertarian (or similar) that mistrust government in general.

Yep. There are lots of expert witnesses that have PhDs and no PE. But their testimony is usually limited to the field in which they got their PhD.
