Really quite amazing work here, except for the Borg transporter beam looking and sounding like a Star Trek transporter.

It seems that there must be some services available that takes user supplied photos and then creates blanket prints with them. Or, someone in China takes a photo and produces an unlicensed item with it (mug, shirt, blanket, etc.). Somewhere along the way, someone decided to make a Star Trek...

This is so incredibly tragic. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris France caught fire a few hours ago (as of this writing) and the blaze is out of control. No word yet as to what caused it, but it may be related to renovations that had been going on. Just heartbreaking...

Penicillin was the very first antibiotic. It was a major game changer in medicine, vanquishing bacteria that would either make a person suffer much longer or even kill them. Penicillin changed the survival rate astronomically, and paved the way for many other antibiotics to be created... and...

This is 1st of a 3 part series. Very interesting, if you've got the time. Destin is very intelligent and has a talent for explaining things. It's really fascinating to see details about the electronic warfare that's taking place between the platform and the exploiters.

Very interesting TEDx Talk about the seldom addressed issues of renewable energy. And yes, nuclear power is still the safest and most efficient form of widespread energy distribution.

I wouldn't have believed it until I watched the first 2 minutes of the video...

In case you haven't come across him yet, there's a guy who has this YT channel called SmarterEveryday, which focuses on all kinds of nerdy science things. I like his style and find a lot of his content educational. Most recent one I watched was Why Laminar Flows is AWESOME. Really...

Found this really fascinating. We do take glass for granted, while the technology in making it has changed significantly, resulting in various "flavors" of glass that would seem to be magic to people prior to the 20th century. WITHOUT GLASS, THERE WOULD BE NO INTERNET as we know it.

NASA's New Horizons Takes Photos of Ultima Thule, 4 Billion Miles Away "Now scientists await a bounty of new data about the small, mysterious icy body, the most distant object ever visited." Ultima Thule... that name sounds familiar. LINK :rommie:

NY Times Article: Let the Fountain Pens Flow!

Really interesting. Back during the 1960's space-race, it was presumed that Russia was aiming to send men to the moon. But some interesting circumstances ended up foiling that. A combination of a very instrumental man in their space program dying before his time and a rocket design that...

Just an informal poll about your "interaction habits" on TBBS. Didn't see a previous poll, so thought I'd start this one.

Well, scientists do their part to find the truth in the physical world, but sometimes they go awry. Not that often, though. And the political/religious zealots will grab hold of those times when they were wrong as an attempt to eviscerate any claims that contradict them, because... human...

Back when Google first came out with GMail, it had a fairly generous storage allocation. And over time, they bumped it up. I remember at one point getting notification that max storage was now 8Gb. Seemed like so far beyond anything I'd use up. Curious enough, there was a "Beta" marker for...

Driverless Hype Collides With Merciless Reality Insatiable need for tech progress sometimes pushes things sooner than they're ready. I do agree with the article. With roads as they are and the precedent of established driving law enforcement (a bit too lax these days), driverless cars are...

In another subtle, but disrupting way, the present US administration has shown how it really doesn't care about the general populace. "They could be late to work for all we care," is the gist of their message. Do you have an atomic radio signal wall clock or watch? NIST is a government agency...

Thought it might be interesting to have a topic about how we do things. Anything. Post about your way you do something and maybe we can see a few variations. It may spark some new ideas for others on tips & tricks that could be useful. BANANAS OK, this may seem banal, but how do you peel a...

Couldn't find anything on this here... search won't work with keywords less than 3 characters (is there any way around that?). Started watching this out of curiosity. Very, very strange. Kind of like a "Stranger Things" with adults. Jason Isaacs is in it (from Star Trek Discovery) and he...

SARA (Socially Aware Robot Assistant) was featured at the 2017 World Economic Forum. SARA is an Articulab project through Carnegie Mellon University [LINK]. You'd think at this point they'd get the syllable emphasis and spacing a little better. But it's pretty fascinating to see the dynamic...
