When will they start tinkling with pianos?

lunchinlewis		2012-12-28 04:12:29 PM

Soon you'll be able to get a SketchUp from neck up.

Old_Chief_Scott		2012-12-28 04:13:03 PM

Should have used SolidWorks.

lunchinlewis		2012-12-28 04:13:48 PM

Or see a BIM of your BM.

Autodesk? Guess it won't be affordable.

Quantum Apostrophe		2012-12-28 06:19:00 PM

Shouldn't they be printing rocket parts instead of helping people live longer? Wahh wahh I want to go explore the galaxy but I don't want to live long enough to do it!

red5ish		2012-12-28 06:19:19 PM

I will use GIMP to fix my limp.

Dingleberry Dickwad		2012-12-28 06:20:49 PM

But but 3D printers are the devil! They could never be used for such a thing as life extension!

Better that than Autotune, I suppose.

As a recent convert from autocad (13 year user), I concur

No one minds that you want to live longer, most of us do. It's your poopooing of anything else. Life extension and space exploration seem like they'd fit pretty well to me. And what the crap is wrong with 3D printing?

Zotfripper		2012-12-28 06:55:43 PM

Rhino 3D for me.

I really think rather than discussing the article, or making jokes, we really need to dedicate each and every single thread on this subject to just pointing and laughing at You-Know-Who. Like literally, we just need one perfect image macro and we can all post just that.

Hollie Maea		2012-12-28 07:02:09 PM

These farkers had better figure out how to make me immortal before I get old and die. How much would it suck to die like 25 years before they make it obsolete?

And make rockets too! Christ, we can multitask, right? We're not congress.

Mostly because life extension without extraplanetary colonization seems like it would get a bit overcrowded.

Quantum Apostrophe: I want to go explore the galaxy but I don't want to live long enough to do it!

Humanity needs to explore. Individual humans do not. They just need to help.

Actually I do mind that he wants to live longer. All he's gonna do with those extra years is waste every waking minute trolling fark. I don't think anyone wants that.

Mentalpatient87		2012-12-28 07:25:41 PM

Think I saw this movie. The organs were synthetic, they could repo them from your chest if you couldn't pay, and there was this kinda interesting surgery/sex scene..

Good news, Space Bevets! We've found a perfect way to extend your life indefinitely. We just stick your brain into a small, spherical computer about the size of a basketball and stick you on a rack. (kinda like the bowling ball rack at the lanes)

The kicker is your spot on the rack is next to this guy.

Any Pie Left		2012-12-28 07:51:00 PM

Quantum's head should assplode since he's against 3 d printers except these would extend his life but he hates....

I predict a future world where I can walk into a Walmart and pick out a pair of replacement lungs. They'll be in the same section as the windshield wipers, color coded for my convenience.

AutoCAD = RHINO = SolidWorks = Bar Napkins ... that's a Joel vs. Mike argument. (Joel was better)

loonatic112358		2012-12-28 08:24:06 PM

Counter_Intelligent: Autodesk? Guess it won't be affordable.

You can use AtoCAD WS, which means it only works when you're online using "The *Phhot* CLOUUUUUD"

Should have used SW, or Inv, or anything buy AutoCAD

Is he as predictable as Letrole?

I imagine him in his perfect new clone vat body sitting on his gene engineered grass lawn shouting at 1st body adults and telling them to get off his damn lawn

Now I know I've returned to the right timeline. It was kind of scary and all, but now I know I'm home :)

He hasn't responded to anyone in this thread. Maybe the logic bomb went off after his original comment.

I am going to 3d print a bunch of replacement organs so that when I get shot with a 3d printed gun I can repair myself.

RatMaster999		2012-12-28 10:29:06 PM

So those "WANT A BIGGER PENIS?" emails won't just be spam, but printable designs?

No. He doesn't start off his trolling with the exact same line every time.
