22 - toilet + fume hood ::
23
24 - wind speed force :: two wind socks one weighted
25
26 - sshfs to mount root :: you can mount your own root filesystem
27 somewhere else using sshfs. Sort of "normalizes" file
28 permissions without having to use root, and is weird. Could also
29 bypass rm =--preserve-root= restrictions and delete entire
30 filesystem.

36 - not even a nop of damage ::
37
38 - twittwe vibratoe ::
39
40 - value of cancer :: what of value is lost with an easy cancer-cure?
41
42 - blood :: blood is the "wires" that connect organs to each other and
43 impedance match the services that organs provide to other
44 organs. A heart, per se, does not need blood but instead access
45 to the filtering powers of a kidney; blood just connects the
46 kidney cells to the heart cells. That's why "perfusing w/ blood"
47 is entirely missing the point.
48
49 - armored helmet :: use fiber-optics to re-route vision and get better
50 shield for eyes. curved plates, kozilek style.
51
52 - open source contributions :: way to make them public on your website easily.
53
54 - active opto-glove :: for ENHANCED touch!
55
56 - glove screen :: for driving directions, etc. Better than a watch!
57
58 - osmium + sugar as a histo stain ::
59
60 - encryption camera :: use public key on memory card
61
62 - immaculate AIDS acquisition ::
63
64 - minds and lightspeed :: fastern minds have to deal with lightspeed
65 limitations in their own cognitive architectures.
66
67 - kill with fire :: guy A fires fire blast, with a spell circle to
68 maintain the magic. Opponent B just GRABS the magic and pulls MORE
69 fire. Guy A's circle goes out of control and all his life force
70 gets sucked out to supply more fire. B grabs the magic, crushes
71 it, fires a concentrated red lightning bolt, and eats the
72 rest. "You think that you can kill me, WITH FIRE!?"
73
74 - magic ekiga ::
75
76 - edible crayons ::
77
78 - library chaining ::
79
80 - hypnosis + that drug that makes you loose continuity :: can the
81 hypnosos plant things during this time?
82
83 - forgotten services :: use "ovbilion" somehow. Some sleeping drugs
84 make you forget the hour or so before you go to bed. Use this to
85 create forgotten services.
86
87 - dibenzelene -- mike darwin ::
88
89 - sleepy perfusion :: if brains naturally expand / contract depending
90 on resting / awake state, we should investigate the EMs of brains
91 fixed during "sleep" mode and those fixed during "awake"
92 mode. (while still using anesthetic of course).
93
94 - shit flavored dog treats ::
95
96 - fume hood incense :: so make sure the fume hood is working
97
98 - infinity coin :: s.f. concept -- billions are uploaded by using
99 osmium as a "mind uploading catalyst". osmium is put ino the
100 brain, they brain is scanned, and the osmium is recycled. Then
101 you make coins out of the osmium that has gone through billions
102 of these cycles.
103
104 - mamilian dive reflex as a method of preparing organs for cryopreservation ::
105
106 - spinal encryption :: like an X server, except your body parts each
107 run these servers. You all have clocks, and you have to sign your
108 muscle commands with your private key in order to control your
109 body.
110
111 - suicide note as a mental excercise :: from NPR, ted talk, teenagers, etc.
112
113 - microscope clamp magnet ring thing ::
114
115 - cup that fills from the bottom ::
116
117 - pronouncaeble liscense plates ::
118
119 - instant-awake vs natural awakening :: cognitive behavioural
120 difference tells you important things about the waking process.
121
122 - asethetics and personal identity :: if you go to germany, you're not
123 the same person anymore.
124
125 - arch linux diff cache :: should only download differences between
126 the new package and the most rcent archive file. Can
127 precalculate. Would make mirrors/upgrading so much faster.
128
129 - low gravity perfusion :: then you can use cappaliary action. From
130 this: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/coffee-cup-designed-let-astronauts-sip-espresso-space/
131
132 - rational advertiting :: a new criteria for advertisting -- given
133 same ad structure for two different produces, what structure
134 leads to the most people picking the "optimal" choice.
135
136 - autoclone bootstrapping :: to breed male with self: you make a clone
137 of the male that's broken, male and female, the bootstrap with
138 those gametes
139
140 - position independent numbers :: like latin for numbers. You'd use
141 color, endings, relative size, etc to determine what place the
142 number has. Very convientnt for order or magnitude calculations.
143
144 - dead man switch activated linux user account ::
145
146 - embowlement :: condencending reference to embodiment
147
148 - water staff :: drinksy walking staff w/ water
149
150 - melanin transfection ::
151
152 - retention of neurotransmitters / other small molecules during fixation by use of an extracellular polymer such as PVP ::
153
154 - machines :: Knowing we are machines does not diminish us; instead it
155 opens our minds to the awe-inspiring complexity that is the human
156 mind. Those who prefer to attribute consciousness to a "soul" or
157 other metaphysical process are the ones who diminish man to a
158 mere cartoon caricature.
159
160 - why does glut change osmotic setpoints in cells :: perhaps either 1)
161 It makes the membrane permeable to small molecules or 2)
162 crosslinking proteins means less colagative effects.
163
164 - Hemocyanin based blood washout solution :: for artificial blood, it
165 can be hard to carry enough oxygen because haemoglobin needs to
166 be in RBCs in order to effectively carry oxygen. However,
167 hemocyanin, a copper based oxygen carrying protein, doesn't have
168 this restriction, so it might make particurally good artificial
169 blood. Might also be great for making oxygenated fixative
170 solutions! In fact, hemocyanin is more efficient than hemoglobin
171 for carrying oxygen at low temperatures, perfect for
172 cooling/blood washout! Hemocyanin could also serve to establish
173 oncotic pressure in a blood washout solution since it weighs 75
174 kilodaltons.
175
176 - osmotic buffer :: polymer which polymerizes / splits apart in order
177 to maintain the osmolality of a solution.
178
179 - shoes w/ embedded computers :: and have little clickey things you
180 operate with your big toe.
181
182 - gb codec ::
183
184 - ultrasonic cell disruptor to make foor ::
185
186 - particle accelarator asd an awesome electron microscop ::
187
188 - tolouadine blue pen :: use biological stains as dyes for ink pens?
189
190 - clock stop explination :: you have a "visual buffer" which needs to
191 fill up whenever you switch out from one scene to another. This
192 is the clock stop illusion.
193
194 - coffee ad space :: Your coffee stock was brought to you by google,
195 the only company that brings you comfort and love in your harsh
196 and heartless corporate world. This is majestic guerrila
197 marketing.
198
199 - geo-synchro browsing :: you get a bunch of proxy servers, and then
200 you visit websites and synchronize the views from each of these
201 proxies into one view. Then you can see the differences by
202 conutry/region. This is a way to experience the "neutral"
203 internet by averging the effects of ip-tracing.
204
205 - periodic table of genders :: arrange people by bahaviour, particular
206 what sort of bonds they can form with other people.
207
208 - ice cream protein synthesis ::
209
210 - colored EM :: different heavy metals might possibly have different
211 intensities for different electron acceleration voltages. So this
212 could be the basis for colored EM images!
213
214 - expansion microscopy dual :: this would be a process where you
215 define a molecular scale object using larger microscopic
216 components. Then nanotechnology goes through and replaces each
217 "atomic macro block" with the appropriate atomic construct. That
218 way you can use microscopic 3D printing and a special purpose
219 form of nanotechnolical assembler to create any molecular
220 arrangement.
221
222 - anoxic glut :: what happens when you try to fix tissues in an
223 environment completely devoid of oxygen?
224
225 - copper+EG :: if RBCs are rendered impermeabale to EG when Cu is
226 present, then maybe you can destroy RBCs by a mixture of EG and
227 Cu?
228
229 - qualia intuition explained :: let's say that you lacked the sense of
230 smell. How could you learn what "acrid" means without it. How
231 could you explain it to someone, without analogy to other
232 smells. We mind-project this real linguistic separation into
233 reality and get qualia.
21 234
22 - spinal relay :: you have a small air-gapped repeater built into your 235 - spinal relay :: you have a small air-gapped repeater built into your
23 spine in order to help with spinal injury, connect with 236 spine in order to help with spinal injury, connect with
24 prosthetics, and to monitor/control your body. Also, you could 237 prosthetics, and to monitor/control your body. Also, you could
25 add the ability to save "macros"! 238 add the ability to save "macros"!
