  • "This reminds me of the Grabbo handheld vacuum device. YouTuber Izzy Swan has created a whole bunch of add-ons and adapters that are similar to what's featured in the images above, but on a much smaller scale. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mib1x4oYH6E and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYwtIWYpPvQ for some examples."

  • "Jewish ritual slaughterers (shochtim) use their fingernails to check the sharpness of their knives and as a result, often have an unusually long fingernail on one of their fingers. See here (http://www.thekosheromnivoresquest.com/blog/deconstructing-kosher-slaughter-part-2-the-basics, there's a picture there too):"To ensure that the chalef (ritual knife) is perfect, the shochet (kosher butcher) carefully checks it for nicks using his fingernails and re-hones it if even the smallest imperfection is discovered.""

  • "The 3D printed aspect of this house is equivalent to the framing stage in a typical home construction. And as anyone who's ever built a house knows, the framing stage is just one small part of building a house. When you consider that an experienced team of 5-6 people can frame a house in a week or two, this innovation really doesn't seem too significant. All the major other aspects of construction - plumbing, electric, windows, doors, flooring, roofing, insulation, siding, etc. all still need to be taken care of, and because they now have to integrate these steps with a new, nonstandard building process, will probably be even harder for the tradesmen to complete. I really wish there would be some serious reporting of these breathless 3d printed home stories which discuss these issues."

This article shows a picture where you can see the path of the arrow: https://olympics.com/en/news/snapped-the-flaming-arrow-at-the-olympic-games-barcelona-1992 I even saw a video from outside the stadium that showed it, but I can't seem to find it at the moment."
