Why the OpenV2K project exists
Revenge story about events that led to the founding. You can even help this project, and crush a stigma ..or you can learn to stop worrying, and love the malpractice.

I want to be able to say the ghoulish shit I say to people in real life, when I'm on social media, too.
It's fucked that social media is a more policed venue now, and it's often scripts and regex word patterns, to dance around.
Like half-hearted, skeleton crew, law enforcement patrols.

States sanction violence constantly, through proxy wars, and kangaroo courts, and then scream victimhood, when held accountable, in kind.
What SHOULD be said, is illegal, and against all the policies. Say the forbidden truth: ban, arrest, cancel, bomb; and blame you, the terrorist.

Anyone saying "get help", after the horrors I've already endured, is really saying, "get malpracticed to death". Let the system hurt me again, because that can only be mental illness, as they can't handle much.
No, and I can hurt you back now.
Try this on: shut the fuck up.
Touch me, and I end you.

I always lose my suspension of disbelief, in The Dark Knight Rises:
the police forces, confronting Bane, run in a column, handguns drawn, down a street choke point.. into rifles and chain gun/rocket vehicles..
Which doesn't end with a red spray!
It segways into a mass fist fight! LOL

Darkly dreaming extreme possibilities:
Day 2: I've module'ized the vircator array, each with a lens antenna now, focused by stepper motors.
I've also drafted the sections or components of the satellite: RTG power, capacitor banks, huge RF amps; needs "mainboard" logic added.

While I'm comfortable allowing religion A to keep murdering religion B, as I have no dog in that race, and they'd be killing apostates otherwise..
Would it be better, to call them statesmen, instead of terrorists? Laying out other shoes, or hats, for them to wear, changes things.

Exploiting the Faraday cage:
They work, by having holes in the walls, smaller than the frequency/wavelength being contained.
I should be able to emit a higher frequency, say 100GHz, through slots, or a grid, that at the same time, absorbs a lower frequency, say 20GHz, due to the wider wavelength.

Logical colon analogy?
Aircraft:cargo cult::spacecraft:religion
Read aloud, an aircraft is to a cargo cult, as a spacecraft is to religion.
We're still at Ouroboros, eating turds:
Mass death over meteorite LZs, maybe spacecraft LZs, as "holy" sites; while designing and launching spacecraft.

I should imagineer a covert directed energy weapon satellite:
Stealth radar reflectivity (no solar)
Phased array vircators (steerable)
Lens antenna w/anti-radiation mats
Amps/Capacitors (scale pulse power)
Soon: 3D CAD cutaway, with a plausible payload/business end, with nuclear power/thrust.

Somehow Blueskies took a comment that was essentially, "could you put your genitals away, this is a Wendy's", and made it into a brigade against abhorrent sex worker shaming?
No one flashes at work.
Public nudity is arrestable.
How dare anyone acknowledge this?
I'm just in awe.
