Comments
I love how the picture for the Gradient Field Imploding Liner has a far more realistic ratio of heat radiators.

2019-01-19 04:02:28 +0000 UTCWhile perusing the Man Amplifier section, I saw Avatar's AMP Suit again. And again, that thing can't walk unless it can shift its center of gravity from one foot to another. I have the toy that they put out and that was the first thing I realize. If it lifts a foot, it will fall over, its "hips" are too wide.
