Fascinating fact of the day

The river level measurement point at the Foss Basin in York is at sea level. I only just found that out.

Not today though Arch

Not today though Arch

The measurement point still is. The river level however....

Likewise, if you're cycling on a road in the middle of nowhere, you haven't seen a car for 20 mins, and you stop to pee in a hedge, 5 cars will appear from nowhere. One of them will have your auntie's neoghbour driving.

For comparison, if your brain worked like a digital video recorder in a television, 2.5 petabytes would be enough to hold three million hours of TV shows. You would have to leave the TV running continuously for more than 300 years to use up all that storage.

.....But I bet there still won't be anything decent on!

Today is the anniversary of Concorde making its first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic (1973).

Concorde was not the first supersonic passenger plane.

Two page article on the Aston Martin. The magazine was about celebrating 20 years of 3D printing and we have low cost desktop 3D printers coming our way very soon!

I'm lost, I dont get what this article is all about.

I understand 3D Printing, but in this entire article only the second to last paragraph even mentions the Aston and only then in the loosest terms that the studio was involved in making he model in association with the model makers propshop.

so, is this a 3D printed model or did the studio print a few components to help build the model?

Hi Jonny,

Sorry been out all day and slouching with exhaustion at the moment.

The article is mainly about 3D printing and how it has moved on in 20 years.

The DB5 is shown as an example of how good 3D printing is now and is a complete model as printed at 1/3rd scale. It is an amazing thing to imagine it was printed, but there you go, that is the fact!

Best regards

Chris

Yebbut that's only because the kids are all hiding when they are around.

NASA took adapted Hasselblad cameras to the moon, and, in a bid to save weight, many were left behind.

Apparently there is a sizeable reward for anyone who can return them....

Abstemious is another.

There is (at least) one other as well.
