I used to cut this stuff as part of a previous job. Imagine a kitchen-sized cnc water jet/saw.

We had to cut a prescribed pattern out of the edges of the slab to relieve stresses. Even at 2cm thickness it was slower to cut than any 3cm natural stone.

Part of the job was smashing the offcuts with a sledge to fit more stone per dumpster. Smashing dekton is like when you get a bad hit with a baseball bat and you feel it through your elbows and shoulders. Every time, like nothing else.

I think it looks like crap. Maybe good for high traffic floors or wall treatments where weight is a concern.

Because nobody wants to be on a road/racetrack with a car that will pelt the car behind it with stones it pulls from the tarmac

Just look at crash test footage of LPG or hydrogen powered cars.

You can hate the man, but you must respect him. Flying cars have truly arrived.

Not likely. Will be treated like tiktok for government devices. There is no legal way to prevent private people and business from using open source software unless you label it like csam or something where just distributing the file is a felony.

I don't understand how an AI can be scandalized. It's just a spicy auto complete. Sounds more like it's the photographers who are scandalized.

Crazy to think that, despite trump existing, the Democrats still lost two elections to him.

You're so upset that you have to invent an imaginary hypothesis to make yourself feel better.

You know, maybe cameras are good enough, and I don't want a tumor at the top edge of my phone that gets tiresome to hold after 5 minutes.
