Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No msbelle. I think you should work overtime while packing, knit four sweaters, prepare several casseroles, and volunteer at the local soup kitchen.

Of course, this is just one day in the world of msbelle, and I have no idea how you'll make me feel exhausted just reading your posts on the other six days.

TAKE THE WEEK OFF, CRAZYPERSON.

We need new heavy lift rockets to get big enough stuff in orbit to mount a mission. But getting to Mars needs something a lot more advanced than anything we have now.

So, overtime pay, then.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, Daniel Wilson Describes The Most Realistic Robots In Science Fiction

I simply can't respect a robot that *only* exists to hunt down and kill people. What's it going to do when all the humans are dead?

...

My robots do not throw people across rooms, then slowly stalk toward them. If by some odd quirk a humanoid robot has to kill a person (and a more specialized cousin is not available for the task), then this robot will grab the person by the face and close its fist. End of story.

Always Anti-fascist!

Wrod.And might I add, it takes more than leering "I had a fantasy about a woman in a wheelchair." to make me think you and I should have sexytimes. Besides, it's always like "Naughty Orderly" or something. Which they think makes them quite perverse and I just think is kind of obvious. Like they barely have to say anything and I know. Which could be hot if I like the person, and it's not like I'm jaded, but it's not like when I'm fantasizing by myself, I'm thinking "What I really want is a shower that...takes a turn for the erotic."

Jeebus crispies. I didn't know there were forums, and now I can't NOT know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't do it, smonster. It's like quicksand in there!

So, overtime pay, then.

I don't know that it can be done with chemical rockets. Sending humans means a lot of weight, and they are going to be out there long enough they need some serious radiation shielding, which is more weight. If you want to get there in less than a year, that's going to be a ton of energy for acceleration and you have to accelerate all the fuel you need to accelerate back. I kind of think we'll have to go nuclear to get enough energy per pound to do it.

Thing you should NOT do, msbelle--be out of town for most of the two weeks before closing on the house and moving. Don't do it. Also. Someone stop me from flying to Kansas and cockpunching my lender? I have a bad feeling shit is going to be wrong like a wrong thing somewhere on the documents...
