Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Paint the gnome, punt him past the line.
And thus was Horde football born.
eeeeh
generally, it is prudent to be wary against gnomes.
Don't tell the internet!

I agree with this so hard.
At least, for manned space flight in particular.
The government takes from me, proportionally, the most it takes from just about anyone in the entire country. I'm single, I have a high-paying job, I don't own a home. At no point have I felt the government actively hindering my success. They aren't taking so much from me that I cannot eat, cannot provide myself housing, or even buy myself great stuff any time I want. My life outside work is easy and my money provides me with everything I need. It would be crazy to say I'm being held back to promote equality. I am being taxed an amount I can spare to provide a bare minimum life for those who don't have what I have. That's progressivism.

science and technology aren't strictly speaking the same thing!
astronomy is still a good thing to spend money on, the technology from it is just a bonus
as long as those robots are telescopes
yes
Suffer not the Cage to live.
I wasn't speculating really on the why... just shooting the shit about what I think progressives will be on the wrong side of, in future history.
But yeah, I'd agree with both of those opinions.
but somewhere, a black guy has a better life than you
somewhere, a poor person got something they don't deserve
somewhere, someone is cheating the system
where is the outrage, dk?
where is the outrage?
however there's a huuuuuuuuuuge "anti-gmo" movement that just plain hates GMOs of all stripes and won't listen to facts
like, star trek replicator? or?
because if not then no
guns, for example, are generally made of metal, or something that can get similar properties, and you'd be hard pressed to print that out.
Will you Buschemize minis as a stretch goal?
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
This is why, as white and upper-middle class, I "take a penny" even when I don't need one.
There's a problem of finite resources.
If we had infinite resources to spend, putting a few billion dollars in space flight would be trivial. Hell, they could take a few trillion, the greedy bastards. I'm guessing Will would agree, not to put words in his mouth.
But we don't have infinite resources, so we need to worry about where they'd best go. Doing prestige things like landing a guy on the moon or working to land a guy on Mars are cool, but are they necessarily the best use of our finite resources?
So you're not a fan of mining in space either?
Apparently I have lost weight on estrogen?
Not complaining, but... what? That's entirely unexpected!
I could see it working.
It kind of is, but they're really still enthusiast products for people willing to put the time into setting them up and experimenting.
And small CNC mills can be had for less than a grand (interestingly, there's a whole new generation of them based of the kind of hardware being used for the likes of reprap and other 3D printers, since the requirements for the control hardware are basically the same) or there are plans around to build them to reasonable precision from aluminium extrusion. Most firearm stuff would be within their capabilities, I would think, though you might need to break it into several operations.
Resources and overpopulation will be an issue eventually as well, but not for a long time, and we should use that time to be better prepared for that with what we have, and not simply say "Let's go colonize Mars!" and have that be a magic fix.
i'm not totally against it. besides it being my paycheck, there have been a lot of advancements that are really important.
drones, for instance, have saved countless lives and saved billions of dollars.
If you want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can buy a 3d printer like thing that does metal. Like, it's existing technology in industrial use.

you've already given so, so many pennies, matt
I guess I'm not paying taxes for... a long time
Oathkeeper - Updates Monday/Wednesday/Friday
Buy Issue One! >< Two! >< Three!
NEW! >< Four!
on the other hand, the jsf, the osprey, etc.
Yeah, but everyone bitches about taxes, so that's okay. I hate paying taxes, but I love knowing that it's going to good things (like the war in afghanistan lol).
