Probably doable, but for some small features, I imagine getting sufficient flow would be difficult. Molten glass is super corrosive, and the rheological properties vary widely. It's difficult to work with and highly temperature sensiti

There's some huge roadblocks ahead. First -- joints need to be ground. That's a physical, subtractive process that I see no way of getting around. Second, have you ever seen 3D printed glass under a microscope? It's full of v

Having recently purchased some glasssware, there's no way I could have afforded the American made stuff. Chinese glass is just insanely cheap. I bought 1 1000mL RBF, 1 500mL RBF, a 300mm distillation tube, T, vaccum takeoff adapter, th

From the article "Since refinancing his debt with the federal government in 2015, lowering the rate to 7.25%, Mr. Meru’s balance has grown by $148,948. It will keep growing through the 25-year life of the repayment plan until it reache

This is painful. If, as an employee you're so engrossed in technical jargon that you can't explain it at an understandable and reasonable level to a competent adult, there's a problem. Likewise, as a manager, you memorized so

Anyone who tells you can "learn" math and pyhsics by just watching videos is lying to you. There is no substitute for actually doing lots of problems. Pick a book, pick a pace to work through it, and spend a few months going throu

Sharp internal corners are hard period. CNC milling machines have the same issue -- the usual way to to just use a smaller end mill. You either need some type of punch or an (actual) shaper.

I believe the apathy you express is more dangerous than words can describe. What we see in the article is the most healthy, highest functioning form of government -- disparate interests working through the system to resolve their interests.

I've been putting together a better lab and it's pretty tough. On eBay, most sellers are very optimistic about their prices, making it a bit tough to put together a lab as a student. There are few resellers like WeirdStuff around,

Realistically, very few things are totally passive. Even index funds, probably most people's idea of totally passive, still take work -- taxes, reading statements, etc. For most people, I think passive is reasonably defined as less tha

I'm going to disagree and say I don't like the wood. Personally, I think glass fiber reinforced nylon -- the kind of plastic you see in high end power tools -- would be a much better aesthetic, as well as being far more durable th

I think a low cost EDM would be perfect for fabricating small watch parts. Stupid accurate, no forces on the cutting head, could easily be desktop sized (at least for a work area of a few cm) and very quiet. Can only cut metal, but that

Crashing with a very large vehicle (semi scale) is still incredibly dangerous. Most SUVs are not even close to semi scale though. Large pickups (1-ton) are about ~7000lbs, more if loaded. A semi maxes out (by law) at nearly 80,000lbs, fully

Honestly, for small boards, autorouting just isn't worth the time. Once you do a few layouts, it's very easy to see how everything can fit together. Also, for some sensitive designs (boost, buck, high speed clock, memory interface

I wouldn't exactly characterize it as misleading -- "Finance has become untethered from productive work" is the subtitle.
