This microscopic 3D-printed Star Trek Voyager can move on its own

Today is Ballot Day as well as I am definitely anxious. But I have felt a physical sense of relaxation while watching this Vanguard stream of bodies in the cluck solving New York Times crossword puzzles together.

The game is very cleverly done. The streamlet shows the crossword as well as the clues. Users blazon in responses to clues in the chat, as well as then the puzzle will select that inkling as well as fill in the answer. For example, somebody written "29d ark" essentially translates to "the appreciation to 29 down is 'ark,'" as well as the game can select that inkling as well as blazon out the appreciation in the crossword itself. As well as the whole thing is backed by an gravely chilly instrumental soundtrack.

The game isn't bug-free -- it has crashed a few times while I've been writing this article. But the person hosting the stream, New York Times game designer Sam Von Ehren, has been cruelly working to pension the game going back things go awry. (A couple times, he's filled in the aftermost few answers manually so that the puzzle could be counted as solved. What a good guy!)

I personally am abhorrent at crosswords, so I haven't freewill anything to these collaborative puzzles myself. But I overpraise watching bodies solve crossword puzzles, as well as the calming soundtrack as well as precise temper in the cluck has fabricated watching this streamlet the preponderant relaxing part of my establishable day. I lousy recommend spending a few minutes with the stream.

And if you overeat some over-and-above ideas narrowly how to cope with ballot anxiety, my Verge colleagues as well as I wrote narrowly what we're effectual to deal with it all.
