I always liked how the M in McLaren was the same shape as the F1 road car badge

Great story but I'll argue Stellantis is easily the most useless car company in the world
For reference on how bad US military industry is the most useless car company in the world is pulling off “impossible” production miracles immediately after entering the market

Suspect this will become a way bigger deal as people start doing more projects and putting them out there. I reckon a lot of people *avoid* designing stuff in this way because they haven't seen CNC tube bending done well.
CNC tube bending is awesome, but I have to be honest: it has been our slowest-growing service to-date. A little over a year in, and we are doing just $20k / month. Basically zero compared to our top line, and that's after spending more than $1 million on in-house software and equipment to get it going. Meanwhile, it absolutely eats up warehouse space. Reasons: - Extremely niche, few people design with it - Extremely wide needs for tube profile and tooling support - hard to meet every need - Unique design and tolerance challenges - High equipment costs, changeover costs, and high square footage makes getting feature diversity extremely expensive and difficult But we are committed. Long-term, it'll be a win. It's such a cool, efficient way to build things, but people don't, because it has always been almost impossible to buy.

Compared to hand bent tube, CNC bent tube is SO much more... usable... for anything you're gonna make twice. Or anything that needs to accurately fit other parts.

Just found one and tragically I don't have time to go check it out for a week. Good to know they're out there, though.
Need one of these in auto for a reasonable price. Pls.

TBH i do wish tech companies worked closer with governments to achieve cool shit like this rather than to palantir immigrants to death
i know china is going to win bc their google maps gives live countdowns for traffic lights you haven’t even reached yet

Never did come out on YouTube... would be funny to see what happens
So youtube is just deleting trans women’s channels now and giving no explanation and calling my content “sexual” because i’m trans. keep in mind it’s literally mostly MINECRAFT videos from stream. It’s blatant discrimination and there’s nothing I can do about it.

What have you built with Google Earth Pro? I'll start - it's nothing too fancy, but I planned this photo using the digital heliodon feature - there are only a few weeks every year when the sunset is perfectly framed by this valley, *and* The Overland is scheduled to pass at just the right time. It was a lot of fun to capture.
NO NO NO @googleearth please don't kill the greatest GIS package ever created - so many workflows depend on this tool.
