I have been seeing a great deal of these folks lately.
6 km/sec aluminum slugs fired by a railgun built by a small company. Is that cool or what?

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Was this inspired by that Schwarzenegger movie, about cool new weapons? If so, ignore weapons, and give us one-person spaceships! I want an FTL that only takes seconds to reach stars! Oh, and thanks!
Otherwise, it seems a bit clumsy. I always thought those railguns would blast you backwards from reaction- they should come with wheels and brakes! I still prefer a pistol for personal defence.
What’s not to love?
Looks like these guys have their work/fun balance right!
I’m glad there are guys out there who like to tinker like this.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t sell them insurance.
you have to ask yourself- do their neighbours know what they do in their spare time?
(Come to think of it, what do my neighbours do? Maybe one of them is a mad scientist on the side! It would always be the friends and neighbours who would be the last to know, wouldn’t it?)
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Mom, I’m scared…
The photo of the exploding watermelon has me wondering…they didn’t do any contract work for that 10:10 enviro group, did they?
My real neighbours at least know how to spell neighbours correctly! (But I still don’t know what they do in their spare time!)
They learn proper English:-)
spelling ‘neighbour’ would not take up all their time! however, there is nothing to worry about. I overheard one of them planning a party, and ordering lots of yellowcake. Maybe I’ll be invited?
Question is, can they have their yellowcake and eat it too?
Here in Australia, Alisa, we practice Keynesian economics when no-one is looking, so of course they believe they can eat their yellowcake and still have it with them for later! Aren’t all governments Keynesian these days?
It all makes perfect sense now:-)
Hey, Alisa, you’re invited to this party! My neighbours tell me it’ll go off with a bang! There’s lots of fireworks and everything. And they guarantee that they have enough yellowcake for everyone!
And to think I was suspicious of them because of their foreign accents! And all those strange noises late at night! My neighbour, Sam Ben Alladin, couldn’t be friendlier!
Wanna drop in?
