It’s Friday! Buckle up—because the holidays aren’t just coming, they’re thundering toward us like a runaway, tinsel-covered freight train barreling down the tracks at full speed. And there we are, stuck on the tracks wondering how it’s already that time of year again. One minute you’re enjoying leftover Halloween candy, and the next you’re blindsided by inflatable snowmen, peppermint-flavored everything, and the constant drone of Christmas music that somehow follows you everywhere you go.

And the pressure. It wouldn’t be the holidays without the pressure building up every day. The shopping lists, the travel headaches, and the relatives. Meanwhile, social media is overflowing with your friends all boasting about how they finished their shopping and decorating back in October. Bastards.

There’s no stopping it. The holiday machine is greased up and ready to drag all of us along in a whirlwind of crowds, cookies, and chaos. So yeah—buckle up. The holidays are coming, and they’re not slowing down for anybody.

Keep, my wife wouldn’t go along with a total nude, so a compromise was made. I hope that you’ll still be interested in sharing it with your readers. -Anonymous

It’s Thursday. It’s wild enough to send a bike flying through one moving truck—but Red Bull rider Matt Jones cranked the madness up to eleven by aiming for two trucks barreling past each other in opposite directions. A car towed him up to speed while a pair of autonomous Scania rigs handled the split-second timing. The margin between nailing the stunt and eating pavement? Less than a full second.

It’s Wednesday. 3D printing is just downright cool—it’s like having a tiny factory on your desk that turns imagination into something you can actually hold. One minute you’re staring at a digital model on your screen, and a few hours later you’re holding that exact thing in your hands, layer by precise layer. Today’s 3D printers can do it all—whether it’s custom gadgets, replacement parts, wild art pieces, or maybe even your own… bowling alley?

Maker Danny Lum spent a year and a half designing, engineering, and building a fully functional miniature bowling alley—complete with an automated pinsweeper and pinsetter, camera-based scoring, and a motorized ball return. Now that it’s finally finished, he’s releasing everything you need to build your own: 3D-print files, materials lists, wiring diagrams, code, and step-by-step instructions, all available through Kickstarter.
