Local Motors is set to manufacture its first electric vehicle built through 3D-printing technologies.

The automotive firm says that AMT -- the Association For Manufacturing Technology -- is the first customer to line up for its 3D-printed car. The vehicle will be built and shown off at the International Manufacturing Technology Show 2014 in Chicago, Illinois, running 8 - 13 September this year.

Does it come in a flying version?

SNQ*: Squadron of Circus Chickens or Barrel of Rabid Geese?

Betteridge be damned: which is better?.

I think I'll keep the CC Squad as protection and use the BRG as a grenade! I also have a spare Barrel of Uber Robots but I'm not sure what their stats are.

* SNQ is short for "Soylent News Question"

As the SoylentNews site has gone live, I've seen several URLs posted for access to different "areas" of the site as well as to other supporting resources. I'm using this space to collect the SoylentNews links I've found, in no particular order. Some are for historical reference, others for current access/reference.

The following links may be somewhat dated or obsolete:

Alternative URLs listed here were found at the top of http://irc.sylnt.us/

If you are new to IRC, a good place to start is the www.irchelp.org web site!

More #Soylent IRC-related links: NOTE: issue "/msg NickServ help" to get started.

Home!

So lovely to be back!!! Yes that's how it feels isn't it?

Had two UIDs on that other site, one relatively ancient forgotten one and one mostly unused as I joined the AC horde :)

But now... now home has been rebuilt! Awesome. Way back then I don't think I truly appreciated what was available --and I'm probably not the only one this applies to-- but now that we have lost it we have gained more so this time I'll try to make better use of it.

Not that I'll be prolific or anything like that but I'll scamper about once in a while *crams stuff into 255 char bio*.
