another day volunteering at the nuclear weapons lab. everyone keeps asking me if they can ride the rocket sled. buddy, they wont even let me ride it.
@th "im not owned! im not owned!!" i continue to insist as the rocket sled slams me into a concrete slab at ten thousand miles an hour
@th what if we kissed at 215 m/s (immediately finds out)
@th But will they let you fuck the rocket sled?
@th world's biggest DLP projector
@th every time I see a heliostat array I think of Shirow's old Appleseed comics, where a city's AI decides to commit civic suicide by focusing all the heliostats on a nearby nuclear reactor
@th would make a cool keyboard layout
@th you know they used to do that, right? Back in the 50s they'd strap some sucker to the sled and shoot him down the track. They were trying to see how the human body reacted to extreme g-forces. I used to work in the archives at UNM and I saw a high speed image taken at the moment of impact. It looked like the guys teeth were flying out of his mouth.
@th "Ride the rocket sled?! You think you're some kind of Mythbuster?"
Do not look into array of heliostats with remaining anything.
