I met a guy at a lithography conference that told me how's these work. Totally blew my mind.
$ASML said it sold 17 EUV machines during Q3 The machines cost as much as $400 Million per unit and are critical for the making of the most advanced semiconductors

So they weren't doing this already?

This is cool.
The statue of Prometheus is finally finished. It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this. People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny. But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity. In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history. After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome. Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

So when does the stratasys lawsuit happen?
Wanted to print industry-grade materials with a printer from the CORE One family? Now you can! 🔥🦾 With the HT Hotend, you can create stronger functional parts with higher heat, chemical, and wear resistance - including fiber-reinforced high-temperature filaments. prusa3d.com/product/ht-hoten…

From a CWO I know. "Why do I need to get recertified on my rifle? If I have to pick up a rifle and shoot we are all dead already"
As Camp Humphreys is forced to use porta potties & go to water buffaloes for drinkable water, I know what’s foremost in the minds of everyone is wondering if the guy in charge of logistics for water & bathroom services has passed a combat arms maneuver focused training simulation

A conversation I had with an head LM space engineers years ago about materials basically told us if your design had to use stainless steel it wouldn't be viable.

Company that can't control their product is now going to make bio products? Sounds kike a good idea.
Anthropic has quietly established a Bay Area wet lab as it looks to push AI deeper into drug development and biological research, per Bloomberg.

Rewatching dune 2 .... Where did the fremen get the lab glassware for the the water of life? I might be missing something but it seems out of place.

Yeah, this is not a great time of year to recruit people to Austin 😂 It will be way better next month. Thank the Lord for AC 🙏

I was asked to give honest feedback. I gave honest, well thought out, feedback. It was negative. Instead looking at how to improve the workplace culture I was called a disgruntled employee. I quit and started a company.

Just wait till you see what NAFTA did to manufacturing. My city lost basically all the engineering and manufacturing jobs to Mexico after NAFTA. As a result the city in Mexico is a huge manufacturing hub now. The manufacturing technicians became security guards....
White Americans used to do IT. Everyone with a corporate job 20-30 years ago can confirm. Then their jobs were offshored, they trained their replacements. White guys stopped learning IT. Now there's a "labor shortage." Big Tech Arsonists demanding we give them free fire hoses.

I mostly agree but there are advantages to decentralized production. Ukraine has proven you can produce at scale with 3d printing. If someone attacked their factory, no more production. And there are emerging processes that can 3d electronics.
Soren Monroe-Anderson (@soren_ma) explains why it doesn't make sense for Neros to 3D print their drones in the battlefield: "We are focused on mass production." "3D printing is generally good for making a few of a thing, making lots of different things. We are mostly focused on making a lot of one thing, or a really consistent process." "There's an idea that you can go and 3D-print drones in the battlefield. Generally, factories are really efficient when they are large and centralized." "3D printers can be very useful for adapting drones to various mission sets, but you'd only be 3D printing the airframe or a payload adapter. What we're trying to solve for is the core components and manufacturing process." "You're not going to be 3D printing your circuit boards, your motors, your radios, any of that stuff out on the battlefield. So it does not solve the supply chain problem in the ways that maybe are claimed in some of the posts today."

Hmmm I received a fraud alert for making a payment in my credit card? Huh?

He's going to be gay and use the same womenizing methods on the male villains. Like in Octopussy or with Pussy Galore if they were males.

South Korea, unfortunately, has a CCP problem in their government. They need to check their elections integrity so they can have a Japan moment.
🇰🇷‼️🇺🇦 South Korea said it would provide Ukraine with only humanitarian and reconstruction assistance (energy, medicine, education), and that the supply of lethal weapons contradicted their legislation, - The Korea Tomes This was in response to Zelensky’s call to provide air defense systems due to the threat of sending another 30-50 thousand North Korean soldiers to Russia. Seoul condemned military cooperation between the Russian Federation and the DPRK as a threat to its own security, but left its position on military assistance to Kyiv unchanged.

This was actually the norm. Lots of legal immigrants refused to drink while going through the process to ensure they didn't get deported.
🇺🇸 One DUI, and boom... you’re gone. Trump’s plan: foreign drivers who drink and drive get deported after one conviction. No more second chances when they put American lives at risk on the road. Why should they get to stay after that? Source: Fox News / Writer: Val

This reminds me of an old saying. "The solution to pollution is dilution" Large immigrant surge in small town = big problem. Large immigrant surge in the entire country = less noticable, but still a problem.
🇪🇸🇲🇦 Dozens of migrants from the Ceuta surge were transferred to mainland Spain today. The process of moving people from the enclave into the rest of the country continues. Once on the mainland, they'll soon spread into all of Europe. Writer: Oliver
