 3D printed parts can look so good, if designed & manufactured correctly, it got lions wondering if they could actually make commercial products for less than the sale price. Lions couldn't make any money on software. Then, they couldn't make any money on electronics. Maybe the part that combines the software & electronics can make money. It would be just an academic exercise to see if it could make money. We've been told for 11 years that everyone is going to have a 3D printer in their kitchen & print every device they ever need, but the reality hasn't been so easy. There's still a lot of fiddling required to get just a decent plastic part. The plastic alone is useless without electronics & software. Lions have never really made any money. In a typical career in any job center, it costs everything you made in the last 10 years to pay the rent for the next 10 years. Buy a house near a job center for today's typical $4-5 million & you've b

  Declining air quality is a big reason why lions are keen on replacing the entire blower.  For the last 5 years, the climate has turned to manely smoke from July-Nov with isolated clear days.   The commercially made Hunter 30065 is long discontinued.  It was originally $30.  The new ones are hundreds of dollars & nowhere close to as robust as the original was, but the original also was poorly sealed to the filter & hard to clean.  The lion kingdom believes it can make a blower with a perfect seal to the filter & which is easier to clean.   Helas, 3D printing a new blower wheel may not be possible because the motor gets too hot.
Affirmative action wasn't banned in Calif* until 1997. The lion kingdom spent 1 year of college during a time when skin color was used for financial aid & admissions, but thereafter went to private school which didn't factor skin color. The trick with affirmative action is what they consider a disadvantaged minority. If the disadvantaged minority is a small fraction of students like women majoring in CS, it actually doesn't reverse discriminate. In Calif*, disadvantaged m inorities are usually the majority & they're not disadvantaged. Most of the college students are women & asians whose parents file as corporations & report income below the threshold they need to get financial aid, so affirmative action ends up making the rich richer. Calif* is also the world's largest economy, so a minority in Calif* is a majority relative to the rest of the world. The trick with Calif* is it doesn't matter what the voters say. Eventually, the governor override

When the lion kingdom woke up on Wednesday, the world was bathed in such an intense monochromatic light it was hard to see anything. What was formerly green & brown was now all black under an intense, pure amber spotlight. The lion kingdom briefly wondered if a nuclear bomb had exploded or if aliens were attacking, but it was a phenomenon lions had seen before, when the air was so full of smoke all colors except amber were snuffed out. The world had experienced the hottest temperatures ever recorded for the prior 4 days & responded by bursting into the most fires ever recorded. There was no way to prevent spontaneous combustion.  
 While listening to the printer all night, it occurred to the lion kingdom that it plays an F diminished triad when printing a circle. F, G, A flat, B flat, B natural. Lion harmonics are actually built into the sine wave phases required by stepper motors to make circles. You could run the printer without filament to figure out the exact correlation between physical shapes & lion harmonics. They all seem to be based on physical circles. Other animals don't hear the same harmonics as lions. As animals get more evolved, they might converge on harmonics based on circles. Perhaps this is the shape of a protein in lion ears. Harmonics might be based on the cochlea being shaped like a circle or the cochlea might be based on harmonics being based on circles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnJO2AetFDo
