Then again, most people don't make up their own arbitrary laws of physics too.

You can, however, shield a nanofab facility. Or even a portable fabber.Central Facehuggeria wrote: Most people find it difficult to EMP shield nanites on account of their being so small.
I mean passive EMP shielding, like a faraday cage or the ilk. Say, a layer of superconductor. Anything that'll block an EMP.The Mindset wrote:By "nuking a Mindsetti planet" I assumed, of course, that you'd somehow taken down the shielding.
I thought of that. Problem is is that it can't replace red meat for a food stable. Phytoplankton (Algae etc.) is viewed more as a "supplemental" food source. We simply couldn't sustain ourselves on it alone indefinatly.Kanuckistan wrote:What about protine-rich microbes, harvested and processed?![]()

It could be done, yes. Fairly easily, in fact, if you're willing to shortcut it with a parasite; then you just need to give it somewhere to grow, make the fruit resistent/impervious to gut bacteria, and allow the cattle to pass it.Trailers wrote:Next thing you're gonna tell me is that you've got cattle that shit ripe grapefruit whole.
