That's HN for you. You're never quite sure whether it's programming related or not.

40 Days without Booze - Alcohol Abstinence or Node.js Framework?

Steam powered Blender - 3d Modeling Software or Steampunk kitchen tool?

A new perspective on Coffee and Tea: “Building” Coffee Match - Again, Beverages or Web Frameworks?

Someone should write a site akin to http://www.crackshackormansion.com/ or http://steakhouseorgaybar.com/ regarding HN post titles.

My original title was "Valve is planning to use Blender as a game modding tool in Steam", it was changed by a mod/admin.

My submission (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6204638) had the title "Valve interested in getting Blender on Steam" which used a powerful technique of "more words, less terseness" to attempt to maximize clarity. :)

I should perhaps have added "3D" somewhere to make it more clear, but at least there are words to make it sound software-related.

Too bad the submission sank.

Same. I was expecting something along the lines of the pulse jet powered tea kettle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDM9Eb16Do

Now you made me miss my time to sleep because of all such awesome jet powered things.

(but can someone explain to me the jet powered kettle???)

Basically he's just using the mini-pulse jet's waste heat to boil the water.

(Pulse jets are sort of primitive jet engines, though they operate on a different principles. Most famous for being used by the Germans with their V-1 "Flying Bomb".)

Agreed. It would be a great followup to Top Gear's V8-powered blender and their occasional obsession with steam trains.

Third, I'd like to see this. Or a steam powered coffee grinder, who's with me?!

Yes! And if you could somehow re-route the steam from the steam-powered coffee grinder to an adjoining moka pot... automatic steam-powered coffee-grinder-brewer?

I'm all for it, now I just need to find that free steam source

Go full-circle and make the steam with a Bitcoin miner.

Me too. Thought it sounded cool.

Me too, but then I looked at the URL :D
