Ya gotta do what you gotta do.

Quote:
In Japan, the idea of having a purpose – what the French call a raison d’etre – is hardly ground-breaking. The Japanese have long had a word for this sense: Ikigai.

Formed of the words ikiru, or life, and kai, or “the realization of what one hopes for,” ikigai is most often translated to mean “a reason to live.” On the island of Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost and sunniest region, and the one which features the longest living Japanese – indeed, some of the longest-living humans on the planet – it is translated as “a reason to get up in the morning.”
I look forward to software developments that are in the pipeline, specifically OpenVDB turbocharging CFD.

edit:
There you go.

The problem with conduit domes is stacking squashed tubes on a bolt is wildly inaccurate. Better to cut welding rod ±1/100th inch (or better) and assemble each hub in a jig.

Then you could drag a sock over it and spray that with resin. Once it's a solid surface than you can start the endless blocking and sanding. Curved rods with wedge tips for extra points.
