    If you had the opportunity to travel back in time to the 2000s or 2010s, what would you change to make the world a better place?

    Jump
    • Do what I could to stop the passing of the SCOTUS Citizen's United ruling
    • Write a letter to then Senator Obama that there's a major recession coming and that holding the banks accountable and buoying the lower and middle class is a better option than a bailout of the private sector
    • Warn about various impending natural disasters around the world to try to save as many folks as I could

  • My first picks have already been mentioned, but I think these women have also been influential

    Flannery O' Connor, Shirley Jackson, Emily Dickinson

  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

    Jump

  • That there is an as of yet undiscovered loophole to either the no cloning theorem or the more general no broadcast theorem. I can understand the problems that are generated by either being true, but FTL communication and dataships are just so darn cool.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Any of the following:

    • Materials needed to make an open source 3D printer, co2 laser, and pick-&-place machine
    • Materials needed to make a hydroponics garden system and precision fermentation system
    • Materials for a LiFePO4 battery and solar energy system
    • Putting a dent in both my personal debt and that of my family and friends
    • Donating that 20k to my local makerspace to improve their operations
    • Starting a nonprofit

  • US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America in major escalation of military firepower

    Jump

  • Wartime powers to lock things down domestically more than he already has been? That's my BS guess.

  • You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?

    Jump

  • Potable water is good, perhaps wheat berries or ibuprofen would be good too.

    As for an unorthodox answer, I'm going to say survival guides. Most people have some idea of how they might survive, but it couldn't hurt to have a resource to fill any knowledge gaps.

  • What’s the first book you remember loving?

    Jump

  • If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (because it was read to me)

    Pirate's Promise (first full book I read on my own)

  • What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?

    Jump

  • Most recently, it was probably Rebel Moon. I didn't have high expectations and thought it was going to be schlocky, but it was not the fun kind of shlock in the end.

  • Which way do your windows open?

    Jump

  • Nice try, Baba Yaga.

    Now, the serious answer is a few windows slide sideways and a few others slide up and down. All have screens to keep bugs out.

  • Lawmaker says Alligator Alcatraz is an ‘internment camp’ after joint GOP-Dem visit

    Jump

  • Bumfuck Buchenwald works and has the alliteration factor. Whatever the moniker, it never should've been established in the first place.

  • Fool me once

    Jump

  • "Dipper, you're a cool dude, but using me for this meme isn't cool dude."

  • Who is your favourite Anti Hero?

    Jump

  • Leto II. Deadpool was already taken, so I went with a more controversial example.

  • What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?

    Jump

  • The Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M. Banks

    The Golem & The Jinni by Helene Wecker

  • Just a little more mercury bro, this time the elixir will be perfect

    Jump

  • Perfect synopsis for the game Nine Sols?

  • Do it

    Jump

  • Sequoia in my ass. Yikes.

  • What is the end game?

    Jump

  • Shadowrun or Eclipse Phase, either way it's not good. I'd like the tech from the latter, but not the rest of the setting.
