Alluminium is a soft metal, doesnt really need an emulsion to assist the cutting edges (as they are far far harder than alluminium is).

If this were a steel casting, yeah it'd need cutting fluid.

I'm surprised there is no cutting fluid being sprayed on it. Most all the multi-axis CNC machines I've seen (not many, admittedly--not my department), required a pretty constant flow of oil. Is this some advancement in cutting tool technology, or is it just that aluminum is soft enough not to need it?

I understand NASA has used 3D printing to create fuel injectors (or something like that) for rocket engines with considerable success. Since it's a solid metal shape with lots of vacant internal channels, there would otherwise have to be a lot of design and construction concessions if it's going to be cut or forged. I suspect that sort of 3D printing will be quite revolutionary for manufacturing once it doesn't cost stupid amounts of money.

what they are showing and what they are focusing on are two different things.

unless you are in with the development team, I'm going to go ahead and say you don't know what they're focusing on.

and even for us backers, it's very understandable that they don't tell us everything, especially since gameplay will always be a fluid thing. The instant they set down some gameplay, something will inevitably need to be tweaked.

graphics and immersion will either hit or miss. gameplay however will be an ongoing work in progress as players figure out optimal ways of doing stuff.

i love pro tips ! ! !

thank you so much physical metallic metal thing that ports into non physical coded stuff. Siftbot is neo in a sense.

... Is this the matrix ? is this website the filter for the matrix bibliography? ?

We were introduced to the matrix by THEIR terms, and now all these things lead up to now. i WILL GO to sleep waiting to wake up in a slab of fluid choking on a robotic stem.

Yes, to insult you maybe but not intended.

You seem to not be able to make your mind up about what the hell you actually belive in a "Solid" state of mind... you are fluid and that makes no sense.

You go with everyone and agsinst everyone depending on what the situation depicts and with that tout whatever spiritual thing that may go with it.

and enter.

It's fluid dynamics, so for the purposes of the model that they CFD'd and the practical experiment, it doesn't matter whether it's air or water (they both can be treated as fluids), the outcome is the same... both have temperature dependent viscosity, are subject to frictional forces, and transmit forces through pressure etc. The principle of operation won't differ, but the efficiency may.

@lucky760 That's a question for an engineer or someone well-versed in fluid dynamics I'm guessing but something else in place to create the vacuum would probably suffice....something that wears-out with less frequency than the valve itself perhaps?

Off the track at 23:30---from his comments---he thinks he hit a slick of someone else's radiator fluid

It's not melting, it is "only" receding!!! But there is smoke.

It smells like plastic!! Um, you think you might be smelling the lighter fluid?

We are doomed. Doomed I say. More in love with fear than with common sense.

In a society where you expect the children to never leave their home communities and where their future education and job are predestined by where they live, that might make sense. I don't want that kind of stratification. That opens up situations where Bible belter children are never exposed to evolution (for an easy target), or where some district just up and decided that heck, their kids never need to learn long division.

The ideal is a society that's much more fluid than that, and the reality is that this is a world where not only are the children from rural Arkansas going to be competing with the ones from NYC for colleges and jobs, but with people from all over the world. Kids can already be extremely hampered just because of where they went to school, which is what the CC (I'm assuming good intentions) was supposed to help. Obviously it is not doing a good job, but I think it's a matter of implementation rather than the idea itself.

Why not just combine the two memes and do RHNB vs. Non-Newtonian fluid.

Yeah-Right now I'm projecting a thousand laser pointers directly into your retinas with the hope that when your sockets are free of those squishy fluid bags in the land of the blind, the no-eyed man man behind the dark sockets remains perfectly satisfied in the darkness of his own kingdom.

Believe me Sigmond, projection is as far afield of my issues with this particular round of banter as that dashing ape of yours is from knowing shit about that .45-

Your video, Can You Walk on Water? (Non-Newtonian Fluid), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

@bcglorf-It's been going-on in the United States for over 75 years, it's by design and insidious. You create a herd of dutiful putties who will jump like performing circus dogs into any barrel of shit you dish 'em.
Create entire generations of mentally incapacitated fools drunk on bread and ballgames, and the worlds' THEIR oyster.....covered in your sweat, blood, tears, and spinal fluid.

Keep filling bucket with thick, gooey, stick glop that gets all over the riot cops whilst sorties of some slippery fluid for their ranks to lose their footing on are thrown from the rear Molotov cocktail styley....

Have other folks throw ball bearings balloons..

SLide slide, slippety slide, all non-lethal and all very slily and efficient.
