like the design of this simple Dual Cutter, by tool manufacturer True. Rather than being a 16-function multitool with 15 half-assed functions, this one does just two things well: It provides a cutting blade, and a pair of scissors with a full-size handle that flips out.The scissor blades are serrated and 1.5" long, so you're not going to be cutting dress patterns with it; but if you're working outside with a lot of cording, zip-ties or similar, I could see this tool coming in very handy, and I like the ergonomics of it.The Dual Cutter runs $30.

The Titan submersible implosion was a grim reminder of the serious dangers involved in deep-sea expeditions and explorations for eco-tourism. While some might argue that it is way better than exploration on the sea surface, theres got to be a better and safer way to experience the wonders of the underwater world in person.Franois-Alexandre Bertrand has a solution in the form of Platypus Craft prototype, a semi-submersible vessel for safe and feasible underwater exploration. This is in line with breaking the notion that water adventure activities and environmental responsibility are hard to coexist. Clear from the naming convention, the zero-emission craft is inspired by the amphibious Playptus mammal.Designer: Playptus Craft and EvoyThe five-seater watercraft is developed in partnership with Evoy who have developed the high-output electric motors for the vessel. Platypus Craft has some cool trickery up its sleeve for underwater exploration. The seating platform can be lowered down completely to submerge the riders safely for a whole new experience. It comes with an array of safety equipment like retractable air hoses connected to an onboard compressor.This dual configuration has many benefits, including multi-functionality and fewer chances of harming the marine ecosystem. One can use it for riding the waters for scenic trips or more intense underwater explorations within the safety norms.The watercraft gets twin Evoy Outboard Breeze 120+ electric motors mated to a 63KW twin battery pack. This makes the vessel having a catamaran hull design, reach a top speed of 25 knots and have a cruising speed of 15 knots when riding the surface. When submerged underwater, Platypus Craft prototypes speed is reduced to a comfortable 3 to 5 knots for unobstructed views of the marine life. In the submerged mode, the craft can cover an impressive distance of 30 to 80 nautical miles.Initially, the maker is going to release the Platypus Yacht Edition in 2025, fueling a new era of submersible explorations sans the inherent dangers of deep-sea explorations. The watercraft will be the first ever commercially available submersible to feature Evoys electric motor system that comes with zero-emission promise and also eliminates the typical fuel slicks and bilge water problems with non-electric versions.The post This watercraft turns into a submersible as the seating compartment lowers down underwater first appeared on Yanko Design.

A Star Wars Outlaws story pack coming later this year crosses paths with Lando Calrissian at a high-stakes gambling tournament.The "Wild Card" and "A Pirate's Fortune" story packs will both release by Spring 2025.

Metroidvania meets shop management in this 90s-inspired blast.

A quality remaster and remarkable glimpse into how this classic was made.

Aside from a basic front door, one of the best ways to protect your base or stop mobs from going anywhere is with a fence. The fence in Minecraft is quite powerful, as you can't hop over it while standing on the ground, unlike many other blocks. To see how to craft a fence and the best way to use it, read the guide below. Making a Fence in Minecraft A fence is an extremely simple item to make once you know the recipe, as it only requires two basic resources to craft. You can see the crafting recipe for a basic fence below:At a crafting table, place two Sticks in the middle and bottom middle boxes Then, place four of the same wood Planks in the four boxes that border the SticksThe crafting recipe for a fence in MinecraftThere aren't any other items that are more easily acquired than Sticks and Planks. You can gather Planks by chopping down logs and placing them in a single box at a crafting table. Then, you're able to use those Planks to make Sticks by placing two of them on top of one another at a crafting table. You now have all the resources required for a fence.

The DC Universe is a gargantuan collection of characters, factions, nemeses, and heroes. Among the factions in the DC Comics Universe rests a collection of powerful individuals known as lanterns. The concept started with the first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, who was created by Bill Finger and Martin Nodell. Soon after, Hal Jordan was brought into existence, and the Green Lantern Corps made their first appearance in Showcase Vol 1 #22 by John Broome and Gil Kane.

I want to make a Game Splash Screen using of course OpenGL and SDL, I searched how to make it, you know the first thing people do when they don't know how to do something? I didn't find shit about how to do it, apparently I'm the first in the world asking this. So I had the idea of simply drawing a image the size of the screen, because I'm running the game in fullscreen mode, and I found out about BlitFramebuffer, here is the code I'm using for loading the Texture:

Technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in the design world in ways we thought were impossible and/or strange in concept. 3D-printed furniture, augmented reality retail stores, and AI-powered coffee makers are just a few examples of how technology moves the proverbial goal post so that what once might have been a little odd now becomes the new industry standard. For SIAN Design, technology has become integral in what used to be a very analogue and manual craft of jewelry design. Utilizing computer algorithms and virtual 3D modeling, SIAN generates precisely calculated fine jewelry defined by delicate lattices and geometric details.SIAN is founded by husband and wife duo Antonia Frey-Vorhammer and Simon Vorhammer. The two translated their architectural expertise and background into designing jewelry that mirrors their highly intricate and geometric projects. In the below exclusive, Antonia explains in great detail exactly how every SIAN piece comes to life:At SIAN, the integration of digital and analogue methods is the central aspect of our creative process.For each design, we establish a computer algorithm that defines the logic and geometrical dependencies among all elements. Initially, this method is time-intensive, but allows us to explore numerous variants of complex geometrical formations through fast iterations by means of rapid prototyping.The algorithm continuously generates and updates a virtual 3D model, accurately representing the final physical form with 100% precision. Our tight collaboration with experts in additive fabrication and goldsmithing empowers us to stretch the boundaries of technical feasibility and craft pieces of jewelery that transcend traditional methods.During the production process, every object is initially constructed layer by layer using 3D printing with a special wax. This wax prototype is then used to create a precise negative mold from fine gypsum. Subsequently, the molten precious metal is poured into this mold in the next step.As both the wax and the plaster are expended with each use, this process is commonly referred to as lost wax printing and casting. Each piece of jewelry is then meticulously refined by our goldsmith through manual craftsmanship, resulting in a distinctive and lively surface texture.Ina EarringsIva BangleIva BangleEmi Cocktail RingNeta and Iva Stud EarringsNeta PendantAntonia Frey-Vorhammer and Simon Vorhammer of SIAN \\\ Photo: Conny MirbachTo learn more or shop the collection, visit sian-design.com.Photography by Philippe Arlt.
