I have an experimental aircraft with 3d printed fairings and a clamp to hold some cables. In the US, in 2023 34% of new General aviation aircraft were "experimental" and they make up about 10% of the total GA fleet. Legally, the owner can do almost any maintinance they want without faa approval aside from vague regulations about "major modifications" such as installing a different model of engine. I do have an aerospace engineering degree and have a good idea of the properties of my filament and its operating environment :) 3d-printed phone/ipad mounts are common and an aquantance made one from PLA that warped in the sun :)

Above 18000 ft, (class a airspace) air traffic controll is responsible for maintaining traffic seperation. The government needs to provide better binoculars for controllers :)

1. Make a website that simulates many "employers'" and has fake employee lists. 2. Allow an entry for a specific name and salary. 3. Charge $1/month for prospective renters to "employ" themselves at their "employer" of choice. 4. Profit.

"A good start would be making healthy food that isn't 1,000,000 calories per pound..." How can food be healthy without vitamin P 238?

I'll wait untill they make a model that plays hoof noises with active suspension that constantly bounces me around. I would also wish to have to tie my car to a tree after parking to prevent it from driving off. If there are sudden loud noises it should accelerate at full speed in a direction vaguely away from the noise. This is what the people want.

Oops, it would output 52x the c02 of a long-haul flight per person (7.6kT c02 vs. .333kT and 100 vs 234 pax.) It'd be fun though...

A flight from lax to melbourne Aus, non-stop is 16h on a 787 which can carry 234 passengers. At 90kg/person-hour that's 337,000 kg co2. Theoretically, the starship can carry 100 passengers so it would output roughly half the c02 per person for the trip at 70k kg

Obviously they are from venus (5800h days) so their desktop is only using 300 watts (mostly for cooling i presume)

My gas stove is about 30% efficient when boiling a gallon of water in a stainless steel pot... my house has gas heating (80% efficient) / electric heat pump for cooling (c.o.p. of about 3) In the winter the 11kBTU burner heats my house with 100% efficiency so if i left it on constantly i'd save about $0.01 per hour vs. Getting the heat from my furnace (this doesn't factor in the cost of increased cancer risk or respiratory irritation from nitrous oxides however) In the summer i must run the ac to remove the extra 2KW wasted by the burner so the cost for cooking pasta with gas ends up being about 150% that of resitive electric in the summer and under 0% that of electricity in the winter :) (methane is about 1/3 the cost of electricity per KWh delivered to my house) So... in colder climates where homes are heated with natural gas and don't vent the stove fumes or places with unusual energy prices, gas can still be cheaper and/or more efficient*. * health issues can be quite expensive ( i would have to leave my burner on in winter for over 1100 years to pay for $100k of cancer treatment.)

Hopefully this time less fissile material leaves thr core :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

They are terminated.

"Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider are preparing to run the collider until the end of 2012" Thanks captain obvious. I'm not a moron, I know they won't be running it AFTER the world ends.

The tenant, MacGyver, claimed he was trying to bake a cake, but ran out of eggs and was trying to make some from materials at hand.

A case fan failure caused my little brother's hdd to fail. You see... my step dad asked me to build a computer for my little brother that would fit in this wooden cabinet he built. This required a small micro atx form factor case which had one 120mm case fan. The computer failed to boot about 1 month before I came home from school. My brother did not turn off the computer during this time and the CASE temperature was 65C (it was painful to hold onto the case) Surprisingly everything but the HDD worked fine.
