Almost. Try harder.

I find that modafinil really helps me concentrate (some people say it doesn't do anything for them, though). But a good cup of Turkish coffee before an exam also helps a lot.

Radioactive decay has nothing to do with the Earth's conditions. How about you STFU and lurk more?

Uhm, >>3979995 actually admitted that they're not strong enough to be seen with the human eye.

>feeling endless torment is better than feeling nothing at all.
Now that's a stupid conclusion. Not feeling anything at all would mean that you feel no regret, despair, or boredom, thus, it would be a subjectively more pleasant experience (for argument's sake it's at a pleasantness level of 0) than hell (at a pleasantness level of -9000).

Why stop at a kidney? You could just register your whole body away.

To me, it's an act like any other. No more or less moral than taking a shit.

I don't think people should be barred from attempting it, though. But the way medical technology is going, the "release" excuse is going to become antiquated.

Is it just me, or does it seem that (judging on his artwork) he's going to slip into steampunk at any second?

'bout fucking time! Thanks for the heads up!

Nicotine binds to the acetylcholine receptors on the adrenal medulla. By binding to the receptors, it causes cell depolarization and an influx of calcium through voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium triggers the exocytosis of chromaffin granules and thus the release of epinephrine

Yeah, I think the US and Russia pretty much showed that humanity can do calculations that allow us to take planetary movement into account.

Well, maybe members like yourself *are* too stupid, but some of use are doing rather well, thank you.

Zero-point field.

We've moved on from that, dumbass. Post something regarding the StarTram.

>>3979639
Um, no. This project discusses civil automation, among other technological advancements. Last I checked, robots are /sci/.

Yes. Floating sea-cities that don't use thorium reactors (as dependable offshore deposits don't exist). They'd have to be powered by fusion, as deuterium and tritium is much more plentiful in the oceans.

Oh, where is Mad Scientist when you need him?

Old news, OP, but bump for others who haven't heard of it yet.

Far too weak? The Earth's magnetic field is only 65,000 nT (That's NANOTeslas) at it's strongest. Your average MRI has 9.4T. I think we have more of a challenge from Earths' gravity well, than it's magnetic power.
