It's 1 thing to discuss engineering that very few of us would be willing to adopt out of personal interest, and another to discuss engineering that would have appeal to the masses.
??? It's all engineering. The thread title is Engineering Explained. Apparently there is an Overton Window. Three-dimensional trusses include Alexander Graham Bell's tetrahedral truss, the MERO truss* and the octet truss.

The masses don't engineer their own environment, it's left to the professionals. I thought I'd get some interest in the Limousine Drift thread. Maybe I don't get what appeals to the masses.
