    I only watch TV when I’m on holiday/at a hotel. Stbled upon the Mythbusters episode of the lead balloon, and it was so cool how Adam used paper for the model to shaw the audience how it would work.

    Made me sad cause if the show came out today, it would be 3d print this, and (probably) AI that. (“Hey SponsorAI, How do I make a lead balloon?”) Show wouldn’t have caught on like it did back then.

    3D printing

    Is cool, but it’s just not the same as seeing Adams sketches and him building the model and seeing it work…
