katsmeow-afk"D-Shape, an innovative new 3-D printer, builds solid structures like sculptures, furniture, even buildings from the ground up. The device relies on sand and magnesium glue to actually build structures layer by layer from solid stone. The designer, Enrico Dini, is even talking with various organizations about making the printer compatible with moon dust, paying the way for an instant moonbase!"10:48
Utopiahnot that innovative10:49
katsmeow-afkhttp://www.inhabitat.com/2010/03/17/3-d-printer-creates-entire-buildings-from-solid-rock/10:49
katsmeow-afkit's the "3-D" part that got my  interest, i wonder how they created overhangs10:50
katsmeow-afkand then, how they disassembled the entire "solod rock" to glue it back together again10:50
Utopiah(as there was http://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~minides/ and http://craft.usc.edu/ before)10:51
katsmeow-afkdid they use solid rock, and shove it thru a printhead?10:52
katsmeow-afk"His giant 3-D printer is the first of its kind with the potential to print whole buildings, and it makes them out of solid rock"10:53
katsmeow-afkstill hung on the solid rock part10:53
UtopiahI thought it was supposed to be layers of sand10:54
katsmeow-afkthey make WITH layers of sand, but say they make FROM solid rock10:56

fenn"neurotech" means what now?20:26
kanzurehahah `A "pump party" involves groups of transgendered men getting together to  illegally inject silicone in an effort to make their lips, hips, cheeks and buttocks look more feminine and avoid the cost and scrutiny of legitimate medical treatment. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of transgendered men have attended "pump parties." `20:39
kanzureillegally inject silicone! oh noes!20:39
katsmeowwait a min,, weren't there a dozen women admitted to hospital for getting their butts injected with silicone caulk at such a party last week?20:40
katsmeownot "women" as in "men", afaik20:41
kanzureyeah, i don't know when "women" became synonymous with "men" either20:52
fennthey're not that different really20:58
fennalso i think you're supposed to inject collagen, not silicone20:58
kanzureheh heh20:58
kanzuremistake #120:58
fennalso, is "making their x's look more feminine" really "legitimate medical treatment" by any definition?20:59
kanzureyeah transgendered folks get their surgeries and hormones covered by insurance21:01
katsmeowreal women get **planned** pregnancies covered too <shrug>21:04
katsmeowno other insurance coveres planned events, like arson21:04
kanzureyou mean if the fire gets put out? or if it's successful21:04
kanzurekinda ambiguous21:04
katsmeowplan to get pregnant, insurance pays21:05
katsmeowplan to burn car down, nothing pays21:05
kanzureyeah, hospital bills for a birth are like $20k for anything they consider 'decent'21:05
katsmeow"but i had full replacement coverage on that car!" "that's why you're going to jail!"21:06
katsmeowi disagree that pregnancies should be covered, not till your own arson is also covered21:06
katsmeowsame for getting a buttload of window caulk too21:07
kanzurejust call him "my little firecracker"21:07
kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Professional_Association_for_Transgender_Health21:08

katsmeowvs21:12
katsmeowIn response to questions about medical necessity of transgender treatments and sex reassignment surgery, particularly in the U.S.A., where insurance exclusions often prevent access to health care for transgender people, 21:12

* katsmeow nods21:16
katsmeowi wonder if the health debate in congress now will cover them21:16
fennbecause nobody will hire transgendered people for any decent jobs21:25
katsmeowno one hires disabled people too21:26
kanzurenah, they are legally obligated to hire disablies21:26
fennat least you have the ADA21:26

katsmeowsame as with any sex issue "that's a man's job" "really? show me the penis detector on these tools?"21:30
kanzureum21:30
kanzureno21:30
fennlike, if you put down "we didnt hire this person because they're ugly" it's not ok, but "this person didn't fit our expectations of how a person should look" is suddenly ok?21:30
katsmeowfenn, actually, epople get fired for that all the time21:30
kanzurethat's basically what it boils down to21:30
fennkatsure but they' don't come right out and say it21:31
katsmeowmodels 10lbs overweight, IBM once hired men only over 6ft tall, etc21:31
kanzurefenn: i think they do say it about the transsex'd though21:31
kanzureonly over 6ft eh?21:31
* kanzure shines his boots21:31
fennno company would get away with that these days21:32
