Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Fermented milk from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Yakutia, Kalmykia, Mongolia
Koumiss / qymyzқымыз
sour, sparkling, lightly alcoholic mare's milk. Made in 4 steps over 2.1 days – 3.1 days. The longest step, beat with a plunger, many strokes, takes 24 h – 2 days (Characterization of airag collected in Ulaanb…) and runs at 20–30 °C (Characterization of airag collected in Ulaanb…). Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus helveticus do most of the fermenting.

Herodotus (5th century BC) describes Scythians stirring mare milk in wooden casks. William of Rubruck (13th century) describes cosmos and caracosmos. Botai culture (Kazakhstan) has evidence of mare milking but none of fermentation. The USSR kept ~230,000 mares for kumis in 1982. Sanatorium "koumiss cure" was used for tuberculosis in the 19th century (general knowledge).
