ulillillia should totally make a kickstarter for platform masters, maybe to pay for a team to port it to xbox live or psn

on that note, he made an hour long video showing off some of the music submissions he's received

I would actually give him money if the kickstarter was for making new TNG episodes solely from that twitter

so I actually thought about this for a few minutes and came to the conclusion that this project is only going to attract the funding and nerdbase necessary to work if you dial-down its scope dramatically

I mean yeah, it's already been posted that nerds are only going to be there if it's something they obsess over; the homestuck kickstarter got like $500,000 in the first twelve hours and it still has almost a month to go, and the bronycon documentary got like $300,000 when it was done

maybe statpedia can harness that too if you reduce its focus to just being a place for statistics about nerd poo poo to be posted, I mean, these people care enough to create their own wikis, hell, the star wars wiki alone has almost 100,000 pages

now think of that, and the homestuck, star trek, and my little pony wikis, and the amount of inane nerd stats you could tap into with statpedia

this isn't going to happen, though, because the second you show anyone on those sites your kickstarter they're going to take the idea and implement a version of it on their own sites, because where else would they post the stats they so lovingly gathered about their favorite subjects

people cared enough to endlessly-edit wikipedia, and some cared hard enough to make even spergier spin-off wikis, how is statpedia supposed to incentivize itself enough to draw them away from that?

Seriously dude. You are a habitual flavor waster. Not to mention that I think a large scale fusion reactor is primitive.

Whatever that large scale device is, it should be able to be produced on a micro scale as capacitors so it can be used to power any object at an affordable price. It also has to be safe.

Micro Fusion Reactors!

This guy is an interesting fellow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i29oXQHh-U4

this is junk pseudoscience

1 Teaspoon of Heavy Water has the energy content of 300 Gallons of Gasoline. You could go 55 million miles on a gallon. There is enough deuterium fusion fuel in the top 1 foot of seawater in the San Francisco Bay to supply all of mankind's projected energy needs for the next 50-100 years... And you wonder why the Federal Reserve Corporation has been suppressing it... Since their petro-dollars and their power is backed by Oil.

I don't have to worry about timesheets, or making sure people developing the priority stuff, scheduling team meetings. I can just innovate, read over the code, make small changes here and there, and continue developing the big picture statpedia vision.

My next experiment will be this winter, where I will live in my outside 20x20 workshop with no electricity. I will not use any firewood or fire, and will just use a roll of painters plastic that I will line the building with for some small amount of insulation. That and a lot of blankets and warm clothing. I'm imagining a scenario where a Super Volcano erupts and puts us into a nuclear winter.

Statpedia will be successful, and then once it is, I am going to build humanoid robots where people can upload the skills to an iStore and sell them on an online market. Then I can eat a different dish every day of my life because Google cars bring the materials to my robot. If everyone is buying everyone else's food dishes on this iStore, not to mention any other type of skill, it will create a new global economy of people buying other peoples robot skills.
