What did you do while the forum was down?

[Liquid Cobra]

I'm sad to admit I didn't do anything productive lol. I continued to read about Spyderco on the facebook group and on blade forums. Haha.

[Monocrom]

Honestly?..... I went to some of the other sites I frequent. ****, most of you guys go to the same ones! LOL

[this_is_nascar]

No big deal. Just went to the other sites I visit.

[SpyderNut]

I watched the movie Everest with my wife and browsed on Amazon for things I don't need... :) :rolleyes: :D

[The Deacon]

Watched Criminal Minds on Netflix, shoveled a path from my porch to the mailbox, walked Bear, went room to room practicing "point and shoot" with my Laser Ammo Sure Strike equipped PX4 Storm.

What did I do?:

Cleaned the upstairs bathroom.
Received our online grocery delivery and spent an hour putting it away
Swept and mopped the laminate floor.
Emptied the cat's litter trays.
Made chilli for dinner when the wife gets in
Washed up the breakfast things
Played GTA Online
Finally got around to uploading Black Ops III.

But I do all that when the Forum's up anyways- I don't just complete my 'to do list': I smash it's head in.

I fell into disbelief...then cussed a bit...a few tears...finally I just curled into a ball

Shovel snow... Shovel snow... Shovel snow!!!! John

I was shocked and horrified and I fell onto the floor in a fit of kicking and screaming...JUST KIDDING! :)

Actually, what I did was consider the benefits and downsides of covering every large urban city and area in the United States of America, Europe, and the world with large transparent indestructible domes, in order to regulate the weather. My conclusion: It is possible, doable, and good. I am an advocate for Geodesic Domes in the tradition of Buckminster Fuller, one of my personal engineering heroes.

Fuller proposed covering Mid town Manhattan, in the 1960s, with a large transparent geodesic dome. He worked out all the costs and labor issues and showed that it would pay for itself within 10 years due to the lack of need for snow removal and all that is associated with that.
With nanotechnology and more advanced materials like lexan it makes it even more attractive and doable. Here is what I propose:

We develop molecular assembler devices that construct a massive Geodesic Lexan-Nanotube-Diamond composite dome over New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and all large urban cities and areas. These can either be one large dome or a network of smaller interconnected domes. The composite material could be made in laminated layers, and made semi permeable, even, and the heat generated would guarantee warm Spring and Fall like temperatures year round, with no uncontrolled things like snow and rain storms and all of the damage that comes from that. Micro robots and robotic systems would clean the dome outside and inside and make sure no debris or grime is aggregated/collected. Everyone in those cities can walk around year round in tee shirts and regular clothes, no more winter clothes and no more problems associated with that. The indestructible domes can also be great armor for defense: Laminated nano layered composite domes covering cities would make them more resilient from attacks from outside.

What are the pros and cons of this, from what you all see?

What did I do?:

Made chilli for dinner...

Played GTA Online

I also made chili for dinner last night, and after completing a few other chores and going through the other forums I played a little Destiny. :)

[OldHoosier62]

Lets see....

Put beef stew makings in the crock pot.
Loaded some .44 magnum ammo. (240gr. hard cast SWC @ 1050fps....midrange load.)
Sharpened my neighbors kitchen knives.
Drank a glass of wine while working on an idea I've had for a book.

[Dr. Snubnose]

Bought two knives and sold five on ebay..lots of Post Office runs..kept me busy...that said I did check the Spyderco Site no less than 15 times to see if it was up and running...lol....Doc:)
