There is a reason Attaturk told the Aussies to weep not, for their children were now the children of the Turks and would be given such rest as they deserved.

Sweet Little Rain.
A steam-powered drink with a cotton-candy cloud that rains sweetness into your coffee. If I could, I’d go to Singapore just to try it.

Having been enjoying Controlled Pod Into Terrain recently, I have come to the conclusion that they might have some good things to say about the BAC 1-11, simply because it is so overbuilt.
(Much like everything that’s produced at home, the Empire having heard of concepts like planned obsolescence and value engineering and decided that those sounded like synonyms for “doing crappy work”.)
I mean, it’s kind of a chibi aircraft, but it might make a nice private jet, or a transport for a couple of dozen passengers.

Adam Savage gets shown an incredible suit of armour, made in the modern era but to ancient styles, and even gets a chance to wear half of it after he and the owner geek out for a while.
I know full armour isn’t really a Court of Courts thing, but something of this style definitely seems like it would suit. (While pretty, this is also practical “can go fight or joust in” functional armour.)

If we ever get to the point where we combine 3D printing and a CNC machine into one device, would that be arithmetic manufacturing?

I think they’d like the engineering and the ecopoesis potential.

This is extremely clever and I love it. Definitely going in the ecopoesis files. 
There are currently tests being done on a pill that may be able to lengthen the lifespan of dogs by several years.

Is that the drug being tested by Loyal? I ran into the founder on social media a while back. Very cool project.
On another note, also relevant to the topic, Etherlighting™. If you’re not familar with the term, this is a feature Unifi have added to their high-end network switches, putting an RGB LED behind each port (for use with translucent patch cables) which you can use to indicate link speed/state, VLAN assignment, device type, or just which one of those cables is the one you need to look at right now.
Makes life much easier than staring at a panel full of identical gray cables with identical green blinkenlights.
Comes with AR, too, via their phone app, which lets you overlay the full port map and its various statistics and other-end-of-links onto the switch while you’re looking at it.
(I’m convinced that in the 'verse, this is the sort of thing that comes stock with the network hardware. Well, that, and string lights build into the patch cables so you can watch the data flow. Flow, data, flow!)
