Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

In the interests of not working, I think we should play show us your shoes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't understand 3-D printing- are the things made of paper?

Can be, but depends on the printer--metal, polymer, plastics. They're, like, accreted (browser hates that word) layer by layer based on the "print file" sent to the printer. So you can have a model file of a birdbath, for instance, and it will go layer by layer and build one from the bottom up, fusing the material together to make a solid structure.

Or some things, like jewelry -- I'm thinking mostly of rings meant to be cast in precious metals -- print a wax mold, which you take to a jeweler to cast in gold.

My crowns weren't so much printed as they were carved.

Really want all thunder to desist now and stay that way until 7. I ask for so little!

Hey. New board.

In super high tech labs they are printing with all sorts of things - I just heard a piece on NPR about using 3d printers to print microscopic rechargeable batteries smaller than a grain of sand.
