Where its at.

[Faust]

Look at least he said hoverboard instead of rail gun, which is the standard choice of magic tech idiots choose these days.
There is something altogether wholesome about delusions of making a hover board instead of weaponry.

Balls.  Did Darth Vader blow up those Alderran tards with a hover board?

Fuck no.

GIANT.  FUCKING.  LASER.

Gaint lasers aren't cool any more according to the youth of today it always has to be rail gun or nanomachines with this lot.
Personally I want a tesla coil on the roof of my house, and I'm actually in a very good position now to make it.

Also, rail guns present an interesting technical problem, where the pull from one magnet is fighting the drag from the next, even if you cut the power to the magnets in series.  I'm thinking you'd have to degauss the magnets in series with a jolt of AC current.

That's how the prototype on the ship does it. The degauss can only work so fast so they need a good spacing between the magnets to allow for the projectile to accelerate while also getting the timing right on the switching, ends up being massive, hence only ship mounted.

What velocity are we talking, here? 

Also, lesson learned from this magic tech idiot:  Do never use PVC pipe as the rail.   

The bullets from the ship one can supposed reach mach 5* which is 1700 meters/ sec.
But it is entirely possible to do on a lower power scale:

Agreed. Pledge

I gave up after the 4th page, then dipped back to the last one to see if it had gotten any better.

That's like taking milk out of the fridge, finding out it's bad, sticking it back in the fridge and expecting it to somehow be good the next time you open the fridge.

True, but I have eaten a two week old prawn sandwich before without ill effects.  Sometimes things can smell bad and turn out OK.

Probably not in this case though.  Pledged.

That's due to your prolonged exposure to English cooking.  That would have killed anyone outside of the UK or West Virgina.

To be fair, you may be overestimating our prawns.  What the rest of the world calls prawns, Brits call "oh shitting hell, it's like Prawnzilla or something, run for the hills!"

Worst.  Seafood.  EVER.

I think I pledged yesterday, I just didn't say anything because, you know, pledge.

I liked this one 

I'll agree to pledge outside this thread though.

Now, to quote Suu: Back to the homework.

Having looked at this thread again, it occurs to me that people should pay me for providing them with  someone to rebel against.
