Don't get me wrong. I love 3D printing. Unfortunately, the tech I am working with, FDM, is just the most boring technology you could think of. Really, it's just a hot glue gun guided by a computer. Apparently, it's only unt

If the death penalty is so rare and never administered, then its theoretical deterrence value is going to be zero. There's no point of keeping around an inhumane law if it doesn't save anyone and actually contribute to the death t
