Fusion really doesn't have a runaway reaction problem. I'm not saying future people won't invent a reactor so stable that it can by some means I don't understand with today's plasma physics, but it's basically impossible to make a hydrogen bomb without using an atomic bomb as a trigger.

yes

but also I don't trust this guy to run the thing with adequate neutron shielding. a grad student at my university was taken off of a fusor project because he wasn't following any safety guidelines, but this guy has no sane second pair of eyes on whatever he is doing

I did a thought experiment about how the immune system must work and came up with a simple system using only mechanisms that I know are available molecularly.
If you could have a bunch of random protein sensors that undergo a training phase where they learn what "Host" is. Anything that makes a "detection" during training is discarded. Anything that doesn't is either never going to detect stuff, or might detect something "Foreign".
These then float around your blood stream and either do nothing until they are lost, or go crazy replicating and raising the alarm when something Foreign shows up.
A danger with this method is random sequences that are just really bad at detecting "Host" or a training period that is cut short. This might lead to autoimmune responses.
This thought might give some hints about how to combat autoimmune diseases without disrupting the greater immune system.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

lol digging into this, this dude should be here several times over. a few years what sounds like an incredibly stupid service, murfie, abruptly shut down with no warning. murfie allowed you to physically mail your physical media collection, i think cds and vinyl, and then pay some kind of subscription storage service to stream that content for life. apparently they ran for a decade "lending" people's massive music collections. i have no idea how on earth that is sustainable and apparently it wasn't because it just up and died, and then this weird motherfucker swooped in to buy the service for peanuts. and take ownership of the million+ questionably legal CDs which the customer base is furious at him for.

so because he has these shipping containers full of ambiguous ownership content he needed a ton of space. oh also to build the worlds largest makerspace, in pine bluff arkansas. lol

Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like hydrogen spontaneously becoming helium. I long to observe such a thing.
And yet, in each Pine Bluff experience, a thousand tweakers vie for a single copper wire.
