That's a 'prosthetic' in the same way that taping a fork to her stump could be considered a prosthetic.


Hell, pop down to the local sex shop and buy a flesh covered silicone hand then hollow out the end and that would look a million times better than that papercraft poo poo she's got on.

What an unbelievably lame-rear end post. Ooh, look at the master prosthesis fashionista. You must be a hit at parties. That's not a REAL prosthetic, it's just an inexpensively-manufactured alternative to a device that replaces a missing body part :saddowns:

Yes, I'm a lame-rear end party pooper. And a stinky headed doodoo.


Let's check out what 3D printing can actually do for people who have lost limbs to make their life better.

Hands and arms:












Legs:







These are bad rear end. The one posted by Say Nothing was certainly pretty and I'm sure it's handy* to walk around with a lightweight prosthetic, but given what people are doing right now with 3D printing, pretty is all it is.

One of the stupider things about the LCS hull corrosion issue is that the Australian ferry company building them has tried to blame the Navy for causing the corrosion. "Manufacturer's warranty void if ship is placed in water."

Not to defend the lovely ship company*, but I believe they did originally have cathodic (or is it anodic?) protection on the ships, but because of budgets cuts or price overruns or something they were told to remove them, and a bunch of other stuff, to lower costs.

The brain is literally the most important part of the human body. It needs all the oxygen and nutrients it can get, which means it needs a hefty blood supply.

It's nutrient and oxygen needs are also ridiculous.

The brain weighs a tiny 1.5kg

Of all the oxygen you breathe and all the nutrients you eat, 20% is used by the brain.

This bothers me, because I've used globalist as a term to refer to pro market pro free trade pro capital at any cost people. Hopefully it was clear from the context what I meant and that there was no racial component

Don't feel bad, bigots are always coming up with new terms to hide their evil.

As long as you're not saying globalists with a nudge, nudge, wink, wink, you'll be fine.
