@ChuckCook @rod_mallo This is the answer. Airlines make their profit by getting you to sign up for their Credit Cards. Benefit of doing so is being slightly less inconvenienced by the boarding process, and we humans love our convenience.

@QuantumPinball Transformers has a number of winning strategies I've found. Check out the stream Rayday did a couple days ago, he absolutely murders it, and you can clearly see there are a couple of modes that have a higher scoring potential than others.

@QuantumPinball It's really good. After getting my Pro this week I'm torn between playing it and taking Optimus apart to figure out how to make him transform.

@dorough_jo82834 Sad part is, that model is based on a toy you can get at Walmart, and the shot geometry for the game is therefore based on the width of his chest! Gonna be interesting to see what I can change.

Received my first NIB Stern Pinball machine yesterday, the new Transformers machine. Amazing game full of Nostalgia, but improving Optimus may be my first engineering project in a while which can talk about!

@WeBuyPinball I haven't played Sonic yet, but Retro Ralph is supposed to be bringing his machine to the Electric Bat for a while, so I'm sure I'll play the hell out of it. Sonic looks fun, but this Transformers is a fantastic layout, and starting code is really good.

From an engineering perspective, this is the greatest video @SpaceX has ever released. The Falcon Heavy first launch comes close from an emotional impact point of view, but this is 100% my new favorite.

The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the

@JoshMurrah This is the way for those who use printers in product development or for functional prints rather than artistic models. I have 2 AMS 2s on my H2d... and if I ever print with multiple colors its to apply a label or logo. Having a wide variety of materials ready to go is better.

@niccruzpatane @Tesla Aero is gonna play a big part of why they would narrow the rear. Also, being front wheel drive, they don't have any constraints for packaging the gearbox and axle, so they can pretty much go as narrow as they want, as long as they meet the rear cargo goals.
