Anything can work on the ground. It just has to me fooled into thinking it's in the air. To figure out how the weight on wheels switch works, you don't look at the computer, you look at the weight on wheels switch. It probably uses a commercially available microcontroller. Just crack it open and read the code. Worst case, connect it to your own bus controller and read every possible number of words from every possible location of every possible remote terminal. Actuate the switch and read everything again and look for the bit that changes. Ditto for the radar, spam writes at it until the popcorn explodes. For the TFR, disable the transmitter and feed synthetic signals into the receiver. You can tell it anything you want.

Nah, they'll keep poking the weak kids and beat the shit out of them if they try to fight back.

I'll just leave this here.

The "death panel" is a doctor asking you if you really want to spend your last 2 weeks on life support drifting in and out of consciousness in extreme pain and too full of morphine to think, which is the default option if you don't specify otherwise.

Glad to know you're completely batshit insane to get that from

Read your own comment and tell me again who's the douche.

At this point, I'm hoping the sane people in the US will move away and the crazies will "how do I supported modern society?" themselves to death.

This thing doesn't produce heat. It absorbs heat.

The article assumes you went to high school and know basic chemistry. The zinc vapour reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas and zinc oxide.

If you limited it to physical disabilities and mostly in first world countries, I could see that. Even if you still consider someone with say, a permanently attached prosthetic arm which is equal to or greater than a human one by any conceivable metric still "disabled," 50 years is in the realm of just cloning a new one and grafting it on.

What I am denying is that the amount of zinc lost will be anything but negligible compared to other costs. I am denying that the amount of zinc mined for this purpose will even register compared to what we already use. Even if you went completely off your rocker and banned any kind of emission of CO2, you can produce zinc oxide without carbon simply by burning the ore.

about 14 million tonnes of water evaporate from the oceans every second. I don't think we're going to make that much of a difference.

You have no idea how this works do you?

It's vague because they don't know. That's why they're testing it.
