@Brian216: as a matter of fact, my doctor has actually spent his life correcting other doctors misinformation about nutrition, and correcting vegetarians diets is a significant part of his business.

@cycle-ops: hm. i did not know that... now that ive researched that a bit more, it looks like it doesnt curve that much though, and that most swordmakers still made a curved sword even before quenching for a more pronounced curvature. so, despite being un-informed, i still say that if they wanted a straight blade,…

@Brian216: plant proteins and animal proteins are different. we are animals, we need animal proteins. our digestive systems are more carnivorous than herbivorous, and we dont have and/or dont produce enough of the various enzymes to convert plant proteins into animal proteins. herbivores, like cows, have specialized…

psh. cultured meat ftw.

@Devin Teague Connelly: sorry to nitpick on your nitpick, but the signature curve is created by the swordmaker- its partly for style, and mostly for a better slicing surface. they could make a straight sword as easily as a curved, if they wanted to.

@BPL5683: wont be much use without a stasis-field generator :/

@sirnicolai: the picture illustrates the micro fractures bending back on themselves, which makes this glassious (yeah, i made that word up) metal so 'tough'.

@Heturi: ah, thats mildly funny! thank you.

anyone care to explain the pun?

wow, so if things move quickly, its harder to see them? ground breaking research!

@Aekero: brilliant

@billweh: maybe thats why the gas giants on msnbc remain undiscovered?

@Liam: so, gps and radios dont help soldiers in warfare? thats an interesting delusion youve got there... i know very well that kids drop out of highschool and go into the army, and i know too that those kids are plenty smart enough to play videogames. if you can play videogames, youre smart enough to use the system…

@Liam: just responding in kind to you implying that such a large percentage of soldiers are too stupid to use such a system (even though theyre smart enough to use the current tech) that its not even worth making. and thats not to mention that you think the designers are so retarded that they cant account for it…

@shhhGoToSleep: who said they wanted it tomorrow? no military tech gets developed that quickly, obviously they want it some years in the future.

@Liam: i think i know your problem: you think everyone is as dumb as you are.

@shhhGoToSleep: what if the cameras are integrated into the helmet, the video feed attaches to whatever sunglasses you want, and the whole thing weighs as much as an iphone? and in return, you get to see a kilometer away at will, it spots threats out to that range too, you cant possibly get lost because it lays a map…

@Populoner: i imagine the point is that the system is always looking in all 360° for threats, and has a way to alert you that its there with a video overlay showing the direction, which you could turn towards to see in full context.

@undeadmachine: you will adjust your eyes to match the movement to the input the same way you adjust your thumbs to match their movement to the steering of a virtual car.

@Liam: uh, the point of this system would be to empower our soldiers and thus lessen their risk of death. our current logistics systems have given us historically miniscule losses, and this would take it one step further. this type of system would give a soldier warning that a weapon was pointing at him from distances…
