is that even legal at my age

Idk, it's iffy, some places the legal age is N/A, others it's 19 or 21.
Either way.

daughter
and really i just want to stay home and not have to talk to people except for online
i mean yeah, it would be nice to have friends irl but it's not necessary
i'd rather not interact with people and not have friends than have dozens of panic attacks trying to get friends
but i don't really have a choice

You need to get outside and meet people. Like need to. You will get nowhere in the current world without knowing people.
You would truly be surprised at how much of a difference knowing the right people can make.

I probably know enough about everything to hold a conversation about anything, and I love to get into details. Whether the conversation is to broaden my knowledge or others. I guess that makes me a nerd, but you wouldn't guess it from my physical appearance so I often get some odd comments.

I love to learn, but not in a structured environment like school. I teach most things to myself in my own time and find it much more effective than being taught by someone else.

Go to a party where you don't know many people and bring your own alcohol. Social anxiety gone. Just don't overdo it.

energy: forget
balancing: probably fixable with some time given
speed: maybe improve it with pistons and lighter material
c.o.l: idk
aka, I forgeted up

Energy is the only real problem here. Again, you don't throw stuff like this at loving tanks. You use it in its tactical niche, and that's it.
Balancing is already done and done, researchers are all over that stuff, speed comes from balancing.

The problem with this sort of thing in a real world military application is the apparent need to make big bulky pieces of stuff so that kids can nerdgasm all over the place.
If you want to do it right, you find a problem and solve it with a system such as this. You do not try and fill the roll of an already prominent vehicle (the tank)
So you look at its strengths and weaknesses. If you make a nimble mech, two legs with small feet, actively balanced, and as quick actuating as possible, you suddenly have a new roll in rapid strike operations. It's widely known that legs are far superior to any kind of tracks or wheels in terms of possibilities in types of traversable terrain. They can also navigate such wildly varied, in some cases extreme, terrain far quicker than similarly sized wheeled or tracked vehicles.
You can now very quickly travel over nearly any kind of terrain in nearly any sort of ground condition. You have a vehicle unbound by any roads.
Looking at weapons systems, holy forget you don't need loving ridiculous dual gatling guns or loving 120mm artillery cannons. Missiles are even a no-no.
Revert to the basics. And then entrepreneur  that stuff. A large caliber rifle is all that is needed, not mounted on some stupid arm, but a full motion tripod or dual rotor assembly. Along with that you shove a computer assisted system in to keep the gun perfectly aimed independent of vehicle motion. You now have a high caliber, long range, sub artillery weapons system with kilometer effective range and a ridiculous amount of accuracy. More than enough to deal with loving anything that doesn't have 4 inches of armour plating.

it's loving science.
rant over. satisfaction not guaranteed
sci-fi mechs are loving stupid.

the japanese will never take over the world because they have limited eyesight, thats why they lost WWII

Squinted eyes actually improves vision at range. Your comment is completely backwards.

Android works great out of the box.

iPhone's work great out of the box too, and they look better (than most androids)

If you want a phone get an iPhone 4, if you want a semi handicapped DIY omgopensource handheld device that is also part phone, get an android.

Thanks for the offer Yola, thing is though I need to actually build the carriers in the wormhole (Archon, Thanatos, Archon). If that's an operation you're willing to undertake then we may be able to get something setup.

Also I have an investment partner, I have 500mil riding on his gains, so far he's returned more than half of my secondary investment. But he's in need of a freighter and doesn't have the capital to fork out 1bn for it and continue his trade. If you'd be interested in building one for him at some discount to make it affordable, I could put you in touch.

« on: July 29, 2012, 09:26:04 AM »

electricity
you could just do stuff, if you knew how
like stealing cars, opening vaults, etc
these days you could get into almost anything valuable, because, as it turns out, some of the most protecting ways of locking things (fingerprints, retinas, that sorta thing) could easily be bypassed this way

Except you know... you couldn't because it doesn't work like that.
Except for car jacking, that would work.

It. Is. Time. My skills are done, my boots are shined and my Quafe shelf has been restocked. All that is required of me is to buy a Hel. Where I am going to park it is another problem. Blaman if you read this, do you still have that wh corp?

I do, and you're welcome to windmill in the wormhole with us. But supercarriers can't enter wormholes if that's what you wanted to bring.
But if you want to join then by all means. Could use another experienced pilot. You would be our 4th potential cap pilot too, just need to get the indy side of things rolling and build sum carriers.

you'd still age normally

I could argue this from what I know of aging and death.
But it doesn't say either way, so neither argument can be right without somebody acquiring this thing.

Blue or red.

With blue I'd start investing in the stock market. A lot.
With red I'd continue doing what I'm doing. Except for much longer.

I still giggle a little bit from looking at that picture.

Also, we went on a little fleet op full of battlecruisers and strategic cruisers to forget stuff up. Particularly RvB's stuff. We encountered the 1st fleet of ships and it was like a walk in the loving park. Then stuff got real when they started tossing 30 man battleship fleets at us, so we decided it'd be best to forget off. Lots of fun.

Ah missed that one. I would've taken my geddon personally over a battlecruiser, I've grown fond of battleship pvp. Going to miss anything happening today too. Lots of stuff to do then party later lol.
Is Mord out of corp? If so tell sensi I said it's fine to unlock the pos. I also want a second ship maintenance array in the pos. We can deal with taking 2 arti batteries offline.
