I'm impressed that the Acme Klein bottle company has the due diligence to make sure their bottles won't dissolve in Jello. That's proper American ingenuity there.

I think most people drink when they're thirsty

I think if most people drank water instead when they're thirsty, or something with some good there there, that'd be an improvement. And if 8 glasses of water a day cuts down on the apple juice drink or the coca cola, then I think it's a net improvement.

Are there many over-hydrated people having problems outside of disturbing me at movies (I admit, I've never understood normal requirements to pee during a movie--I've assumed it's not standard bladder procedure and if you're going to MUST pee in 90-180 minutes you can maybe squeeze a few drops out now and postpone the mustness)?

eta: I'm a traditionalist--I want a glass one.

I would still like a glass one, but I also recognize that we don't have a lot of room in our house, and a glass one would have to be put out of reach (and therefore not in a place to be appreciated). So a nylon 3D printed one can safely be put anywhere and it'll survive if it gets knocked off by a cat or my clumsy butt.

If the grilled cheese food truck turned up every day.

I just saw the one here is coming back to my office in a couple of weeks! ...when I'll be on vacation. Ah well, I will be on vacation!!!!!

I don't understand 3-D printing- are the things made of paper? or ink? How is it printing?

I totally got served. "I didn't read that closely" guy actually put the info I asked for in the second, "I don't pay you any mind" response...down in the original body of my request.

I despise that convention, but I do know people do it here instead of pasting the info back at the top, so three years in I should scroll before I bitch.

I am wearing the same blazing red as the other Jamaican lady today--I'm continually amazed at the minimum level of effort I don't put in--I passed a woman in six inch peep toe heels and perfect pedicure (almost falling over as she walked) and silk dress, a guy in two pieces of a three piece suit, brightly coloured shirt and tie, and I'm not even wearing socks (for which I'm paying dearly--my feet are freezing enough that I considered going to Walgreens and buying some something). Then again, maybe they misread the business formal email. I'm so glad they put floors in them now! No one cares about the eleventh floor. We're denim-safe down here.

Sophia, 3D printers form objects by depositing thin layers of plastic over and over.

They generally print using plastic. The "print head" moves in three-dimensions, applying layers on top of previous layers to print in the "height" dimension.

I don't understand 3-D printing- are the things made of paper? or ink? How is it printing?

A 3D printer prints a 3D object using substances like nylon or plastic (and plenty of others -- the most common use for 3D printers right now is in the dental field, making implants/bridges/crowns/etc.).

This is a pretty good article about it: [link]
