SWEET! Me likey!

 

I wonder how the waffle wall compares to rebar in load-bearing strength.

 

It only shows a 2-story, I wonder how high it can safely go?

 

I also wonder how easy it is to renovate - for example if I want to cut a new window into one of the load-bearing walls, what happens to the structural integrity?

 

And the bit at the end about using this tech to simulate the "holy-ness" of bones to get light and strong has some amazing possibilities.

 

OT, but i think ceramic people will be looking into similar tech to build kitchen sinks, toilets, etc.

What I'm REALLY looking forward is the 3D printer that can take in a stream of organic molecules and pint out a nice Sirloin Steak, but I don't expect to see it in my lifetime...

There is one. It's called mother nature.

It's actually called "your local butcher." :) miss those days sometimes, learned a lot about life while cutting up fresh meat.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
