A lot of those people on Reddit and YouTube are doing dangerous things like handling liquid resin without gloves or eye protection, or not ventilating/filtering resin fumes that cause cancer. There are horror stories of people who spla

I've heard this too. Specifically they won't know what a hierarchical filesystem is, and their understanding of files is based on iOS/android where you can do many of those actions directly from the share menu without ever in

My group is 3D printing most of our stuff for beer and pretzels games. But official tournaments have a rule where your miniatures have to be official products. Note that a standard printer won't be anywhere near as nice quality as offi

If a speed bump isn't clearly visible to drivers they might drive into it at speed and damage their cars or maybe themselves. I have a mildly low car (factory parts, just an inch lower than standard), and driving into a deep pothole at

_The Code Book_ by Simon Singh changed the course of my life when I read it as a kid. I'd love an update to cover elliptic curves and lattice based cryptography, and to update the at the time speculative section on quantum computing. B

I do in fact have a local law defining the terms: https://ridetolive.utah.gov/lane-filtering/ And I rarely find myself splitting when the light changes; I simply dip back into the lane when the light changes before tra

Most of the people in that room had worked blue collar jobs, worked through school, and retrained in white collar professions. I would have been incredibly rude to tell them "No, your job isn't _really_ white collar, and you haven
