Scored some ramps on a nature walk with the kiddo!

Wild ramps are a leek/onion/garlic relative that grows all over sunny hillsides in this part of the country during the early spring. People are passionate about them - there's festivals and everything.

Dig em up! But always have some behind to propagate next year.

They're great grilled, but we didn't have a ton and I had a bunch of leftover mashed potatoes so, I present to you: ramp latkes!

How were #pyramids built in ancient #Egypt, lifting #300kgstones?
Engineers and geologists introduced a fresh theory suggesting that a #HydraulicLiftSystem might have been used to float the heavy stones up the middle of Egypt's oldest pyramid using #storedwater.
Constructing large pyramids might have involved various techniques such as #ramps, #cranes, #winches, #togglelifts, #hoists, #pivots or a #mix.

Looking into ADA requirements for ramps and steps but found a bit about how curb ramps should prevent an accumulation of water.
access-board.gov/ada/guides/ch

Paragraph 406.1 says that Curb ramps must be designed to prevent an accumulation of water.
Does that mean all intersections where there are curb ramps and water accumulates are out of compliance? Sounds this a motivation for continuous sidewalks?

[Перевод] SCARA-Laser. Часть 2. Переизобретаем велосипед

Как только я разобрался с кинематикой, я отправился шерстить интернет в поисках уже существующих решений и обнаружил свой проект уже готовым. Ну почти. howtomechatronics.com/projects - лазерный гравер на SCARA-кинематике с контроллером Arduino Mega. Ровно то, что я хотел. Но этой статьи бы не было, если бы я просто скачал модельки, распечатал и собрал по инструкции.

How To Mechatronics · Laser Engraving with DIY Arduino SCARA RobotIn this tutorial I will show you how I converted my DIY 3D Printed SCARA robot arm that I built in one of my previous videos to work as a laser engraver.
