Darkly dreaming extreme possibilities: Day 2: I've module'ized the vircator array, each with a lens antenna now, focused by stepper motors. I've also drafted the sections or components of the satellite: RTG power, capacitor banks, huge RF amps; needs "mainboard" logic added.

Clearly I'm not the only one thinking about deflecting radar, and weaponized microwave pulses. What they're not saying, is that a layer of conductive copper works just as well.. you don't need plasma for this. interestingengineering.com/military/chi...

Everyone needs this recipe in their life, for those extra brown, mealy bananas you were probably planning to toss: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20144... I've been making this dense banana cake for years (the bread is a lie), with four whole over-ripe bananas per loaf.

I come from a military family, where "kicking in your shit" is a common phrase. You're as insane as that wolf pack that said "public nudity is arrestable" was really "all sex work should be illegal", and then brigaded. Burn your effigy somewhere else.

You're right, I should take a trip into your backyard, to fuck you in the ass.

This gets worse for you until you shut your imbecile mouth, by the way. I will keep escalating. You WILL stop.

eBay is on a downward spiral: They will permaban, for listing an airsoft red-dot sight, but will not say why.. endless circles of stonewalling. They will permaban, over messaging a seller a question, from a new account. They really, really don't want business.

It sure is sport! You can take back "not a public network" or you can simply shut the fuck up. Thanks.
