    I figured you'd be all up into BIOHACKING.

    LOL that is actually a thing BIOHACKERS are doing with beer. In fact, DIY BIOHACKERs have been using crispr to BIOHACK the yeast in beer for a while: That Nature article's a little old though... there's a whole DIY BIOHACKING scene out there now since the money is following it. There's a...

    4.2 lightyears wow... so Dyson's notes on the Project Orion spacecraft put a theoretical speed of 0.08 to 0.1c with the largest proposed version after a couple months of acceleration. We could prolly micronize the 1950's nukes by half so a modern version would have enough nukes to accelerate...

    What classic childhood movie would you like to be bastardized and remade by current hollywood.

    That's why it's awesome. Same with Dark Crystal. Just fucked up and awesome. We just had way better kids' entertainment back then because people didn't assume the kids were WEEPY LITTLE SNOWFLAKES who should all get a medal and shit.

    KEK, u are mad! They're selling BIOHACKING kits to kids nowadays. There's a BIOHACKING do-it-yourself community biotech lab in Brooklyn. It's the new DIY "maker" scene now; where 3D Printing and Arduino kits were the hot shit last year now major VC's and private equity monsters are all about...

    LMAO u mad? What do you nerds want to call it? I don't pay much attention to the plant stuff, though I suppose they've been getting a lot of investment buzz this year with those BIOHACKERS that made that blue rose.

    I figured you life sciences guys would've heard about Bioglow. Though come to think of it, they've gone quiet since they found funding. They're private equity so they prolly have to stop promoting. I actually read about the bioluminescent plant startups through the CRISPR biohacking scene...

    Of those, Real Steel was frankly the better movie.

    Classic Movies to Watch With Your Kids...

    That's complicated lol. Theaters have to bring SPECTACLE to justify the $15 bucks per ass nowadays. They know they can't compete with the HBO's for the quality and they know they can't compete with the netflixes for the volume, so they need to cram as much bang into those 90 minutes for the...

    They just stuck their sixth first stage landing yesterday. They're actually running out of storage space for all the recovered first stages now. Their own assessments didn't anticipate this much success so soon. I think most people know that spacex actually plans for the ENTIRE mission stack...

    Fuck yes... there was a revival of Labyrinth after Bowie died, actually. It aged pretty well but I wouldn't say it's quite a children's movie. A few more that DIDN'T age too well but that I saw with the kids when they were little: This one is a favorite that definitely hasn't aged well...

    Really? That's good to know. Haven't logged onto my live character but playing Beta for a couple months may have sold me into resubbing then. I only had a couple mill after I quit... is the token up to like 300k or some shit now?

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Black Man (Published as "Th1rt3en" in the US) is his best book imo. He also wrote a fantasy series but that wasn't as good (The Steel Remains). If you like his mix of near-future gritty political thriller stuff, Black Man will prolly end up being more favorable too. Kinda predicted the rise...

    Does nearly everyone under 24 seem autistic to you?

    Retiring at 65 is untenable. We need to anchor the retirement age to life expectancy (like some countries already do) before we are fucked. In fact that aging electorate thing usually comes up because that was the BIGGEST obstacle to meaningful entitlement reform: old people vote often and...

    Does nearly everyone under 24 seem autistic to you?

    Not only is it a big deal... it's the ONLY deal. The demographic tsunami comes for them, but unlike GenX they're simply not equipped to deal with the test nor with the fallout of their failure. You know how hillcunts like to bray about being on the "right side" of demograpyhy. That's because...

    Does nearly everyone under 24 seem autistic to you?

    Hahaha it's true. They're probably more fucked than my own GenX, tbh. They're the least-equipped generation to deal with escalating global competition AND they're the least likely to effectively manage the emotional consequences of that failure. The majority of them will be junkies or...

    Sean was always a weaboo... I feel kinda bad that I missed out on that meltdown but why would he run off after being called out on something everyone knew for years. Is he over on Neogaf calling for witchhunts on everyone who likes Dark Souls or Skyrim or something?

    So could you get me enough isotope to make an RTG for my iPhone? Someone actually did the math once and a simple Seebeck/thermocouple RTG could power an iPhone 6s for 120 years with la few grams of uranium.

    Theres a few of them in a couple betas that still play consistently, but for the most part they're kinda like us just shitposting and reminiscing. Last I saw them was on wow/Archimonde, but that was ages ago. Before that it was shadowbane.
