> Next, they infused the wood with a tough transparent epoxy designed for marine use, which filled in the spaces and pores in the wood and then hardened
so they replaced the wood with epoxy, and called it wood. Like a car where you replace everything but the VIN so it keeps it's identity?
It sounds more like the process that's used with carbon fiber - epoxy is poured around the carbon fiber cloth and the end result is something with properties of both.
The article is scant on details so it may still be bunk, but I still think it sounds like an interesting application.
crappier pizza, fewer jobs, fewer pizza chefs. boo. The past few years I have been making my own pizzas and think back to when I would eat frozen pizzas and just shake my head.
It's just adding toppings to pizza (and too much sauce!)... I was hoping to see how the dough preparation would be automated. I'm sure it could be done, but I would prefer a hand-made pizza. I enjoy making my own pizzas, and the dough/crust is what makes the biggest difference in a pie, and is the most interesting/fun to learn and experiment with.
this robot to me is just the next level up from the skittles sorting robots.
Yeah am I the only one who thinks less is more when it comes to sausage on pizza? And smaller crispy bits not big grey chunks that are barely warm in the middle please. This pizza looks gross.
The line between robot and "regular factory machine" has always been fuzzy, and gets even fuzzier as time passes - and more automation from robots back-propagates to things that are "just" machines.
Pizza on the blockchain! Tired of your orders getting made wrong? Just put them in an immutable, distributed database, and you're guaranteed perfect pizza every time! But don't eat that flawless pie, because our upcoming SausageCoin™️ ICO guarantees its value will only go up, up, up!
Consumer (and I assume commercial) bread machines often have a "dough only" cycle that you can use for automating your dough process. But I'd like one with a water filter and more granular control over the germ time, temperature, rise time, and knead strength/time all in one widget. Something with multiple wet/dry hampers and a programmable cycle would be really cool too.
Domino's (yes maybe not everyone's idea of perfect pizza) has a good video explaining how their dough is made. They have a production line that mixes, kneads and balls the dough, then it just needs to be placed into trays by a human. It is shipped fresh to restaurants, so proofs in transit.
I assume you meant a lot _less_ romantic with the buckets... and yeah it mentions in the article that he removed the head and sink to plug any holes in the hull in an effort to make it less sinkable. luxuries I myself would prefer greatly over a bucket, but I am also amazed at the cleanliness and state of repair of the boat. All the clutter seems so unsafe to me on vessel of any size or type. Keeping things clean and in good working condition I think would do a great deal to make it less sinkable. I am impressed with the use of the raspberry pi and the unusual/free lifestyle the guy seems to lead.
they seem to be focusable with tab navigation, but there is no indication (dashed outline) of which element is selected. I was able to tab through and toggle the switches with the spacebar in Firefox.
Here in small-town BC, I buy local milk at a chain grocery store in glass bottles with a 2 dollar deposit. the clean empties can be returned at the checkout when buying your groceries. the milk is great and the bottle process works.
I think it's mostly the other (more expensive, and 'radical' changes to the milking process) challenges to do with keeping the cows with the calfs that were what killed this attempt.
