Fumes in ABS 3D printing is real
Seriously. I am going to have to set print jobs after hours. This thing is definitely different to PLA.
The project that I am printing for is a dashboard camera called vEye.
I build for me….
I build tools for my use. Hardware, Software, and services. I build not to sell, rent and/or give to others. One cannot solve the problems of others, until she can solve her own.
While I am supporter of Free Software, both beer and freedom, I most importantly support the freedom to do what you want. This is because I don’t want anyone telling me what to do with my life.
If I follow your instructions, know that it is because I deem it in my own best interest. Our goals have been aligned. Nothing more, nothing less.
Automata
Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and automata, as well as the computational problems that can be solved using them. It is a theory in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics (a subject of study in both mathematics and computer science). The word automata (the plural of automaton) comes from the Greek word αὐτόματα, which means “self-acting”.

Stanford’s random thoughts….
The moment that humans can be recreated by either robots, biological clones and/or combination, entertainment stars will not die. In fact they will have found the “fountain of youth”
Their estates will keep them around and you can invest in them since they will be will be traded on the wall street.
Why do electronics die ?
A great video on electronic devices and their frailness.
The Blockchain and us (2017)
While I see Bitcoin as a game changer for Fintech, the blockchain is the real revolution.
Still interested in College ? Study either liberal arts, biotech or a robotic engineering.
if you you still interested in college for yourself or advising someone else, then take
- Liberal arts where you study human nature
- Biotech as we are still carbon based entities

Unmanned U.S. Air Force space plane lands after secret, two-year mission
Very Impressive……Very impressive !!
The U.S. military’s experimental X-37B space plane landed on Sunday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing a classified mission that lasted nearly two years, the Air Force said.
The unmanned X-37B, which resembles a miniature space shuttle, touched down at 7:47 a.m. EDT (1147 GMT) on a runway formerly used for landings of the now-mothballed space shuttles, the Air Force said in an email.
