Regular readers will know that I am skeptical about 3D printed housing, suggesting that it is a solution looking for a problem, and that “the problem in housing has never been technological; it is economic and social, whether you are in San Francisco or El Salvador.” Commenters have called this “a stupidly conservative view” and perhaps it is....

It looks like the feline is actually working dough, so much so that some veterinarians and cat owners refer to the motion as “making biscuits.” Not long after birth, kittens instinctively start pushing and prodding the area around their mother’s nipples, realizing that it helps with the flow of milk from their mother’s mammary glands....
