How long before some lab hack claims to have made a nano scale "free energy" machine.....
Of course if you could find some way to make nano machine that could turn latent heat energy into electricity you could theoretically make a device that could make cold air and electricity out of warm air......
Build a couple hundred million of these and we could keep the arctic region cold as ice and supply the tropics with plentiful electrical energy....
Assuming you could tweak the laws of thermodynamics to work this way.....
"While it's nice that they're at least no longer maintaining a pretense of it being for anything other than fear-mongering, I don't think this was the kind of change most people were hoping for."
Congratulations, you just discovered that we live in an oligarchy!!!
Guess it doesn't matter one hill of bean or another WHO you vote for because whatever choice you choose it is either a Turd Sandwich or a Giant Douche.
That is exactly what happened in Naruto Episode 124 when Tsunade re-wired Kabito's nerves in his spine his brain was able to compensate really really quickly.
Nothing would please me more than if those elitists scum in power to pass the "Straw that broke the camel's back" Act only to have it backfire spectacularly on them as millions of angry drivers mob the local state government houses and D.C. with their "GPS-Gas-o-tax" meters in their hands ready to throw them through the windows of their legislator's offices.
I mean we already pay gas taxes, and even though they SAY they would remove the other taxes, are you really gullible enough to think they would actually drop one revenue stream in leu of another completely. Instead they will put the tax on the people selling the gasoline which will mean gas will stay the same price but the taxes will be "backloaded" while they mandate expensive meters be installed in everyone's car. And then demand the people driving pay even MORE money to the slime in power.
This will essentially turn everyone's car into a TAXI cab.
We are an Automobile society and I hope they pass this because this is one of the moves they could take that could lead to something that would make the French Revolution look like the Peaceful Well Mannered March on D.C. last weekend.
I get cancer, get the treatment, but now need blood transfusions because all of my blood cells have been turned into immune cells and I have no more cells to carry oxygen around my body.
God has the only monopole in the universe and it is currently floating over the N pole of a large planet sized Neodymium magnet he keeps on his desk.
He uses the magnet as a paperweight and once he got a new metal desk and needed Chuck Norris's help in moving his paperweight around. Chuck Norris then told the magnet to behave so God could move it and the magnet obeyed so now God doesn't have to keep asking Chuck Norris to move it all of the time for him.
So all we need to do is create a "Monopole Wave Motion Gun" and we could have a death ray capable of converting most of the mass of said target directly into energy....
That pretty much puts to shame anti-matter based weaponry as you can shoot the thing like a laser and send down flaming radiation death to those who oppose you!!!
That puts a phaser and deathstar laser to shame!!!
1. By softball sized foam ball at Hobby Lobby. 2. By a couple hundred small neodymium magnets online. 3. Get a hot glue gun and hot glue one pole facing towards the surface and the other pole away. 4. Glue more magnets to the entire surface of the foam ball is covered in magnets. 5. You now have your very own "Macro-Sized, Monopole analogue!"
Maybe we should take some of Peter Davison's DNA and the DNA of a Painless Cow and you have an animal that wants you to eat it and is offended if you do not eat it.
Plant trees around the fields that are farmed. This helps the problem with runoff irrigation waters and soil erosion.
Plant a ton of trees around Highways and Interstates. This help reduce the impact on motor vehicles. Plus it make the drive more pleasant.
People don't realize this but there are vast stretches of the Midwest that used to only have trees along rivers and streams, but when it was settled we planted more trees around the fields and farm steads so that today there are far more trees. We used to have HUGE prairie fires that make the fire in California right now look like a matchbook. That carbon is no longer being released into the air anymore. Don't believe me, read "Little house on the Prairie" sometime and you will see that the Prairies used to burn quite regularly. One of the Human success stories has been the almost complete elimination of Prairie fires in the Midwest. It used to be that Trees in the Midwest would only manage to live near natural fire barriers like streams and rivers. Now that the fires are eliminated more trees int he Midwest can grow and that is a good thing!
They don't need more land for food if they get this running, they can power huge skyscraper sized green houses in down town Tokyo that can feed every in their country and turn Tokyo into the "Farming, Technology and Perversion" capital of the world. The greenhouses will of course be ran by robots, that is until they rebel....
Well then, if we think like that we are never going to be able to spread homeless people out into space. There is nothing more awesome than pulling into a mid earth parking orbit and have about dozen bums in space suits approach your craft offering to wipe your windows and inspect your heat tiles for a couple of buck and a can of dehydrated pork and beans.
Plus imagine what fun the homeless can have on the moon. They can shuffle around on the lunar surface and instead of dying under a highway overpass in the middle of winter they can freeze to death during the lunar night.
IF you have cheap unlimited power from space you can take those same 200 square miles fo desert and pump freshly desalinated water there and build giant greenhouses there to provide enough fruit and veggies for the whole damned world.

Both sides are in it to screw the average citizen....

You can learn so much being a Narutard.
That doesn't stop people from going to Thailand

"Let them have GPS"
You sound like Alex Jones.....
I get cancer, get the treatment, but now need blood transfusions because all of my blood cells have been turned into immune cells and I have no more cells to carry oxygen around my body.
I wanna be a popstar.....
Otherwise I wouldn't have enough pieces that are in grey to make Star Trek Starships out of LEGO.
I think the constitution was written in assembler...Hard to decode but pretty damned effiecient.
The bill of rights was written in Basic....
HR3200 definitely looks like something written in .NET by a team of 5,000 Indian folks making 50cents an hour.

How about using a sphere magnet????
That is a hollow sphere with a thick shell where the outside of the shell is charged with a N pole and the inside layer is charged with a S pole?
Wouldn't that "behave" like a monopole without breaking the current laws of magnetic interaction?
So all we need to do is create a "Monopole Wave Motion Gun" and we could have a death ray capable of converting most of the mass of said target directly into energy....

The liberator had corridors of POWER( and cardboard)!!! They were all lit up and meant business!!!!

They are going to end up building a Bleep-ing RING AROUND THE PLANET!!!
Just don't live near the equator because when the orbital tower cmes down everyone down spin of it on the surface is surely screwed!
They don't need more land for food if they get this running, they can power huge skyscraper sized green houses in down town Tokyo that can feed every in their country and turn Tokyo into the "Farming, Technology and Perversion" capital of the world.

Power
or Power + Food.
Take your pick
Nothing like a gun to your own head on Live TV.....
Budd's the man!!!
SHIT!!!
I only have one colour TV, I don't even have Air Conditioning, I don't have digital TV, and I don't have a dedicated stereo.
Maybe that is why I am not in debt, I don't waste my money on useless crap the "poor american" people do.
lithium encrusted tin foil is the best solution.
