Do want. Can I have a smaller gun mounted to a larger gun mounted to a larger gun (with a knife mounted on it)? If nothing else, a great visual gag.
My Stampede ECS has rails (but does not run Ruby*).

The only meaningful use I have ever had for 3d printing so far..
3D printing just sounds so awesome, but yeah, I'm at a loss for practical household applications.

Here's the clip, basically. The only meaningful use I have ever had for 3d printing so far.
A friend of mine had a better use: he printed a copy of Einstein's brain (well, two copies) in nylon. It looks a bit strange when you drop-kick it, but the stuff is quite robust.

My father worked for Hasbro. I had plenty of toys as a kid, hell, I was just playing with K'nex. The brain ball is probably at my parents' house, although not in perfect condition thanks to the dog that I grew up with.

I require a good chair, a good monitor and non-annoying coworkers.

This one's not too bad. Except for when anyone's on the phone. Or discussing. Or being yelled at. Or typing. However, I do have ear phones,...
Or them eating, scraping the last remnants of food off the crockery for 5 minutes. Or burping afterwards.
Or on their own ear phones, listening to their music, and are pretending they're in the band they're listening to and using their desk as a percussive instrument. Loudly. For the duration of the song.
Or, knowing the (I'm assuming false) floor reverberates, and they tromp around like a lost heffalump every time they move from their seat:
- To talk to someone.
- To go to the toilet to wipe/wash their hands after they've sneezed snot into them because they don't have tissues near by (more than 5 times a week.)
- To go feeding (see above) and come back etc.
Oh, and annoying ringtones on their mobiles. Which gets called more than once a day. And they leave their mobile on their desk when they decide to 'wander off' for 1/2 hour.
And that's just the bloke who's next to me in the office. There are 6 of us in that little bit of 'open office.' Thankfully the other 4 aren't quite as annoying, though whether that's function of distance or they simply aren't as bad, I'm not sure.
Edit 2015/06/24:
And the women (usually; a few blokes also do it) who squeal like stuck pigs when they're laughing at the latest inane thing they think is funny. I can hear them from the other end of the office. With my headphones in. Turned up to 11. Numerous times a day.
And the people who turn up from 'other departments' to visit co-workers' desks to have a 'quick 2 minute chat' that would have been better held as a
half-hour meeting in one of the dedicated meeting rooms.And the (multiple!!) people who bring in last-nights left-overs (usually some pungent smelling thing) which they
- Go to the kitchen,
- Stink up the kitchen by heating it up in the microwave
- THEN PROCEED TO STINK UP THE REST OF THE OFFICE by eating it at their desk (see first point up above
Only one thing's changed since I wrote that.
He's stitting across the aisle from me instead of right next to me.
