  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A system where everyone had a job, you had to work to get paid and the wealth was spread evenly throughout the populous. The aged were looked after. The sick were looked after. There was no planned obsolescence.

"This Apocalypse Now remake is terrible."

In seriousness, I'd go with your ideas.

I did some work about it more than a decade ago. It is rather promising. Speed projections could exceed the speed of light if "Lense-Thirring Effect" is considered. I might post separate thread about it soon, with pictures and videos.

A comprehensive and correct philosophy of life, based in part on an advanced brain science, that supports individualism, self-actualization, and an inspiring non-theistic spirituality.

If not that, then a practical life extension and delayed decrepitude that adds another century or so onto someone's lifespan.

On a practical level - an automatic diaper changing machine. Stick the lower half of baby in it, the dirty diaper is removed, disposed/contained, baby gets cleaned off and dried.

I find it amazing no one has invented one yet after doing a short google. It should be easy. It would be similar to a dishwashing machine ofc without the hot cycle and using blowers instead of heaters to dry. The mechanism to safely and comfortably replace them shouldn't be so hard and something to keep the baby distracted/entertained.

The thing is, I imagine it won't be faster than if you did it yourself out of safety considerations. The only advantage I can think of is that you're not doing it and you can possibly do other stuff. The problem is forgetting that you left the baby in the machine unattended.

Anyway:
