Material World Mondays: ‘Lean In’-A Discussion of Cantilevers

If you had asked grade school Tiffany what her biggest pet peeve was, it would have been the inability to build more than two squares out from the walls on the Sims.  But to be fair, the game developers were just using the rules of physics that builders had used for hundreds of years-until 20th […]Read Post ›
