bumped into sister's 90s ex the other week (yes, the guy whose shoes i vomited on, after stealing a pint glass), he is really into 3D printing at the moment, he showed me a little "piece" he had made to replace part of his bike or something

My brother has an FPV drone, damn battery weights way more than the drone itself
