A 3D printer is taking home building to a new level — literally:
The enormous printer weighing more than 12 tons is creating what is believed to be the first 3D-printed, two-story home in the United States.
The machine steadily hums away as it extrudes layers of concrete to build the 4,000-square-foot home in Houston.
Construction will take a total of 330 hours of printing, said architect Leslie Lok, co-founder of design studio Hannah and designer of the home.
[...] The project is a two-year collaboration by Hannah, Peri 3D Construction and Cive, a construction engineering company.
Also at NPR and Yahoo! News. Originally spotted on The Eponymous Pickle.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

I think you don't understand how bribery works. Wasn't this standard learning in high school? (Although not part of the official curriculum.)
Every performance optimization is a grate wait lifted from my shoulders.
