Oh poo poo, this is how the revolution begins. It's printers printing printers today, tomorrow machines making machines, the day after global apocalypse I really really want to get a 3D printer one day, they look like so much fun to tinker with, and think off all the problems you could solve by just printing the part you need.

I was thinking more along the lines of making small interior trim pieces, gauge holders, replacing broken plastic pieces. Solutions to small problems, and applications where they're unlikely to be under much stress. Even around the house it would come in handy. The other applications you mentioned (proto, and molds) would be pretty useful. Plus there's probably quite a few more problems that become that much easier if you have a 3D printer handy. Once we get 3D printers that can make more robust products, that's going to be truly revolutionary.

Sumitomo HTR ZIII? They're the cheapest max performance summer tire in most sizes on tire rack, I've had them on both my nice cars for the last couple years and I've liked them. There are better tires, but I don't think you can beat them for the price.

drat you BELL and your network outage phone wasn't receiving calls our text for most of the day, and right around 5pm I got a flood of texts and voicemail alerts. They called back from the interview, but couldn't get a hold of me and when I called them back they were probably off work. Going to call again tomorrow morning, I guess here goes another night of

some texas redneck posted:Is Google Voice an option in Canada? Apparently it is. If I'm understanding it correctly, I install Hangouts Caller on my phone, and I can access it from my cell. Hang on, I've got to set this all up and start using it. Don't know why I thought it was US only and/or why I never looked into it. E: Awww, nope looks like the actual google voice number is US only, although you can get one to forward to a Canadian number with this workaround: Some Google Voice blog I found after a quick search posted:
The Hangouts VOIP calling still works, but I think it just shows up as your regular cell number? I'll have to play around with it. Bajaha fucked around with this message at 04:04 on May 1, 2015 |
