Thanks. Still working on it. We need better, smaller, more powerful motors to make that work. But still working on it.

Since you put it that way, how about we have a MOBI conference in Florida in the future?

I love that Aachen installed a giant sand box near the city center for a beach volleyball exhibition and then left it in place for kids to play in.

The INBONE II ankle replacement is a third-generation, two-component total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) prosthesis. Six months after surgery, it looks like this.

Given the other posts about Grok summarizing the actions of the DOGE, I tried it myself. QUERY: "How much money did DOGE save the US government after accounting for their salaries and mistakes?"

DOGE cost taxpayers $96 to $130 billion, rather than achieving savings.

Representative Andy Biggs from Arizona wants to get rid of Occupational Health and Safety. Sure, sounds like a smart move.
