Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

I'm already pretty filthy rich, but I think I would like a luxury private jet with a built in hot tub for hot  girls to fly around with and of course a mini kitchen and a fully stocked bar and entertainment center.

MMMM yum QV. I love melons, especially watermelons, spritz a bit of lime juice over 'em, sliced, maybe add some canteloupe, and a wee bit of uber-spicy scotch bonnet chilli peppers, soak it up in the lime juice, and you have yourself a lovely spicy hot melon starter. Goes lovely with some sweet and sour tiger prawns fried with some sesame oil, honey, vinegar, lime juice and zest.

Try it, you will love it.

Saving up for a turbomolecular vacuum pump, and need to buy both some mercuric chloride and a fair quantity of metallic mercury, to build a mercury diffusion pump to run in series after the turbopump, and my regular rotary vane vac pump that I got in june as my last birthday gift to serve as a roughing pump to start the turbopump.

Need to build a cryotrap with some one-way valves to prevent suckback into the pump itself though, and to remove water vapor from the vacuum chamber of the cyclotron, cyclosynchrotron or better, isochronous cyclotron that I want to build.

Need funding for the magnet wire, lots and lots and lots of high purity copper, or better yet, if I can find a source of liquid helium, even go for superconducting magnet coils which would lower power requirements considerably, and not to mention, give me a hell of an improvement over simple copper, or even highly conductive silver wire in terms of sheer tesla/gauss beefage.

Also need to buy a high-torque petrol driven motor to build, and run a big van de graaf generator for use juicing up the longed-for particle accelerator (and of course before wiring it up to said device, making some cool meter-long or even longer high voltage sparks to play with :autism:)

A hatchet.

I'm going to buy one eventually, but I have to wait until I get to a flea market...trying not to buy anything brand new, but instead opt for used and surplus items...and local if possible. I figure it might offset some of the damage of the coal burners or rollers or whatever tf they're called.

SPEAKING OF WHICH- on my way to the old mans house the other day on my bike I had ANOTHER asthma attack. The effect of morning rush hour traffic congestion... I couldn't even work up a decent sweat...I had been enjoying the extra muscle from biking...but not that morning. Stopped midway up a hill I could normally scale with some panting...and then had to walk very slow to the bus stop (slumped over my bike breathing hard). >:(
