3D Printers

Hmm, has anyone else noticed that 3D printers are essentially 1 step closer to replicator technology in Star Trek? We have them printing food, cars, guns, drugs and a host of misc doodads now...
Imagine 5 years from now when you grabbing cartridges like you do now for inkjets...
How will military deployments look like having the ability to print out any replacement parts tools etc by just having a tanker truck of goo and a printer... what about supply drops to field units, no need to special load the supply drop, all it needs is a canister of goo and a printer. Once the supply drop is ordered, the team requests what they need and in flight the dropbox is already at work printing the supplies requested.

Personally I want to be able to print fantasy miniatures for playing warhammer 40k and dungeons and dragons etc. I mean really, who doesn't want a set of miniatures in their own likeness? $500 + printing supplies is a bit to expensive for personal

use at the moment, I'm just biding my time... Maybe kinko's will offer 5 cent prints.. hmm

Good Quality Pants

Okay, I wear a size 7xl 6xl pant.

Pants do not last long for me, they rip in all sorts of places.

The one pair of pants that seem to last the longest are these:
Harbor Bay® Elastic-Waist Twill Pants Item # 85160 @ casualmalexl.com

I have bought various pants from kingsizedirect.com and while kingsizedirect's prices kick casualmalexl $10 vs $45, I've had several of the $10 rip within 1 hour of putting on. I haven't bought their $40-50 pants. but at this point in my life, I want something that works and those harbor bay's seem to be it. Sure I've had them rip within a month on me but its only been a couple pairs that do it.

Seems to me the design of the pants needs changed, big folk put stresses on pants normal size folk don't. Esp from standing to sitting.
