    Oh God, in my 18 years of writing terrible and trolly subject lines, that has to be my absolute worst. :)

    AH exists and people here donate money. I find people who need that money to unlock potential in small charities and make them more fun. There couldn't be a better example than these guys:

    http://www.engineersjournal.ie/2016/02/09/why-young-josh-gives-thumbs-up-to-irelands-first-3d-printed-hand/

    They are an engineering group from Tallaght and they print 3D prosthetic hands for kids. They were stealing time from the IT college out there in the evenings but the new printers take 40 hours to do a hand these days (much finer resolution).

    The money donated by AH bought them a brand new top end printer of their own. It used to cost 5k+ to get a kid a hand they would grow out of in 6-9 months. Hence, the kids just didn't get them. Now it costs 70 euro.... so they can have spares :)

    Now they are working with the Central Remedial Clinic and hope to do a lot more hands...
