Good evening Squirrel Fans.

I don’t know about you dear Peeps, but I feel that the Universe currently needs an extensive therapy session!:

β€œIt also appears that creators sometimes favor the Big Bang method of universe construction, and at other times use the more gentle methods of Continuous Creation. This follows studies by cosmotherapists which have revealed that the violence of the Big Bang can give a universe serious psychological problems when it gets older.”
- Terry Pratchett, Eric

The IGBT made electric cars viable, manufacturing controls much more compact and reliable. The motor control drive cabinets are no longer massive cabinets, but small handheld power supplies for large motors. I used to maintain the older SCR controls and they were massive and expensive to keep running.


You can ride this super-sized Lego Technic motorcycle.

Matt Denton, a talented engineer and designer who helped bring Star Wars’ BB-8 to life, turned a 33-year-old Lego Technics motorcycle set into a rideable electric bike.

The giant Technic pieces, created on a 3D printer, assemble just like real Lego, although a hammer is occasionally needed at this scale. The bike is strong enough to support an adult, but is occasionally a challenge to steer.
