Carmack Needs Rocket Fuel

Reality Master 101 writes "Saw an interesting post on the Experimental Rocket Propulsion Society BBS from John Carmack, who is working on an X-prize vehicle. Apparently he is having a lot of trouble getting Peroxide from the major suppliers, and is possibly thinking of helping someone set up a company to produce peroxide. With NASA's recent problems, there has been a lot of talk about promoting more private investment in rocketry. But how can it happen when the suppliers won't even sell peroxide to well financed, registered, X-prize teams? Anyone want to start a peroxide business?"

    I'm too lazy to read more information (hehe, I leave that to other /.er's), but he mentioned that this was only a trial balloon. So what's the deal, lift a balloon up really high and then launch something off of it, or simply use the balloon to float most of the way and then propel itself with something else out of the atmosphere. Seems like an interesting idea, but the difference in altitudes between what a balloon in air can go and the orbiting radius are pretty huge...

    Anyways, I'd send a bottle if I had one.

  20. How to Masturbate For Large Women by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If your like me, then masturbation can be a bit hard. I am not a small woman. I am 4'11 and nearly 200pounds. I have short stubby fingers, due to my size. My large sized breasts seem too get in the way. Unlike a skinnier woman, it is harder for me to reach inside my vagina cavity. Unless I am in some ackward postion, I couldn't get more than a finger tip in there. I am writting the guide in my opionion of a better way to masturbate for large woman.

    STEP ONE

    Always wash your hands before doing anything down there. The risk of infection is great, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Also if you have nails trim them. I have had a bad exsperiece with nails. I was masturbating and didn't realsize it hurt until afterward. When so much adlrenilin is running through you, you would be amazed at your thresh hold for pain.

    STEP TWO

    Toys, Toys, Toys. I can't say this enough, toys for a bigger woman is a must. For one instead of having to bend in all sorts of unconfortable postions it makes it easier. The toys can be as thin as a finger, or as large as a man's penis. It doesn't matter. I particulary like a toy my fiancee gave me. A set of knumbchucks. Now your probally laughing now, thinking "A set of knumbchucks, she has got to be kidding." Let me exsplain, the knumbchucks are acrilic, so they are strong, and won't break off when placed into sensitive areas. If you don't know what a pair of knumbchucks are I will exsplain. They look like a pair of long, smooth, handles, connected by a chain, or rope. Most are rounded at the tips. I like this toy best, because the chain and second handle allow me to lie back, yet be able to move the handle inside me. By moving my hand in different positions on the second handle, I can cause alot of different effects. I can even thrust it into myself, as a man's penis would.

    STEP THREE

    Take care of your toys! Clean them, after and before use. Don't use harsh chemicals like bleach, or rubbing alchohol. These can not only cause damage to the toy, but alot of damage to you. I recomend a mild disanfectant First rubbing a large lather in your hands, then running it up and down the toy, making sure to get every crevase. Wash thourly. You don't want a infection, just because you didn't get all the disenfectant off your toy. Besides exsplaining how you got the infection to your doctor will be very embaresing. If your toy does not come in a container, or the container is not suitable. Use large ziplock, freezer bags. Don't use a trash bag, even though they may seem the come clean in the box, they really aren't.

    STEP FOUR

    If you don't have a toy, and want one, buy it at a local store. If you can't make sure to check out the sites on the internet FULLY. Ask around, find out if there products are safe, and good quality. Do they take paypal? Or do they ask for your credit card number? Are there satified costomers that you can talk to? I have had the unpleasent misdealing of being riped off, when I orderd form a ceritan site. They sent me something compleletly different, and lower than what I had payed.

    STEP FIVE

    Lube is YOUR friend. You can never use too much, and if your worrying about dripping, and stains, place a towel underneath you. You can use Ky jelly, but I don't like that for masturbation, because it dries to quickly. You can use oil, because there is no use for a condom, however some people, and toys have difficulties with oil. I have three sets of water based lube, that have different tastes, and smells. I got them at a local snyders.

    Now, that I have coverd the basics, lets get into physically masturbating.

    What I like to do, is first take off all my clothes. They just get in the way. I like to chose a private, yet comfortable place. Generally my bedroom floor, or bed. Use pillows, to prop your head, and shoulders. I have heard of lieing your hips on a pillow, so that you are able to reach easier. This may work for some, but not me. It seems just to make things harder. I like to have some soft music playing, even though I don't listen to it.
    I prop two, or three pillows, next to the wall. I don't like headboards or frames, but you get the idea. I set beside me my lube, and toy. I lie down, on my back on the pillows, my shoulders supported as well. I start by breathing deeply, and relaxing. I then start to fantasize about certian men, or woman. Thinking about what I would like to do to them, or have done to me. I start to rub my nipples. I use my finger tips to circle around, until they are a bit hard. I softy squeeze. I pull my knees up, and push them out. As my fanstasy goes deeper, I open the lube, and place a small amount on my fingertips.
    I use to fingers to softly circle my clit. I have found that tapping softly with the tip of my finger has worked as well. I don't insert the toy, until I have felt a few tingles of pleasure. Why because if you insert it too quick you may "Stunt" your orgasm. By this I mean it will take longer to orgasm, or you will confuse your body, and not orgasm at all.
    After I insert the toy, I push softly on the second handle. I can now chose to leave the toy, and play with my breasts, or continue pushing gently. I feel the waves as they pass through my body. I constrict my muscles around the toy, as a wave hits. If you like longer sesions you can chose to just let the waves pass. I find it more intense to use my muscles when a tingle urges me.
    I use the second handle to pump in, and out of my vagina. Not letting the first handle come all the way out. My fingers cricles a bit harder, and a bit faster on my clit. It helps to be shaved, so that you don't end up twisting your hairs. Well, unless you like that kind of pain. I feel a much harder wave pass through me, I clench my muscles, and with the second handle force the toy deep inside. I moan loudly.
    I have found that moaning actually helps with masturbating, it sounds like you have some one there listening. It inhances your fantasy. The waves continue, until I am pumping the toy in, and out as fast as I can. Using the second handle, to push the first, inside my vagina. My fingers relentlessly circling my clit. I orgasm, and let out a long sigh, and lie there for a few minnuets.

    I find this method better than, bending in ackwards ways. I have heard of kneeling, on all fours, but as I say I am a bigger girl, and it still prevents my fingers from going where they want to. Also it can get tirering to kneel, with one hand holding you up. And I don't think I having my face in the bed, or pillows, while using both my hands is comforting. Unless you prefer asphixiation while masturbating.

    Don't be ashamed, of masturbating I have a fiancee, and I still do it. Even though we have sex on a regular basis. It's perfectly heathly.
