    I think it's about time "The-Rigger" got his own forum.

    lol, is that so I feck off out of the poker forum posting low content threads? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin


    hmmm... i was assuming at some stage in the future i would travel back in time to support this forum bit but i must never have gotten around to it...

    or else i'm dead...

    either way, support++


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    I was thinking we could get historical figures from the past and future to do some Q&A threads for us users of the proposed forum.

    Ridiculous enough to succeed. Support +1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    right. we should mess with the admins heads and travel back and forth dispensing threaths / hookers and coke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    After the amount of coke and hookers they've snorted, do you think they would even notice? :rolleyes:

    My microwave has a time machine built into it. There is also a time machine built into the radio in my bedroom. I have another time machine on my wrist!
    Not sure how you could use up an entire forum solely based on clocks in microwave ovens!

    You can never have too many Microwave and Time Machine Forums. This is most definetly the one area that boards.ie is lacking in, and is the only subject I need to browse elsewhere to discuss.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    The only question that I can think of currently, is where the 'Microwaves and Time Machines' Forum should call home?

    Should it be listed under 'Recreation', or should it be under 'Science'?

    TBH, I think it should be listed under all of the following headings:

    Recreation
    Science
    Tech
    Education
    Society


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    The question is should it be hidden from the peasants of boards in science or tech, or should we be a fully open and welcoming provider of information in relation to defying the laws of physics?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin


    time travel is too important a topic to be lumped in under a sub category... should have it's in own.

    we can then have subforums for instructions on how to build one from watch parts, how to build one from recycled plastics, how to avoid decimating the space time continuum, the best locations to find that wormhole you need to travel, what clothes to wear when traveling to the future, old to future currency exchange rates and so forth...

    Indeed time travel can not be catagorised. it has far reaching implications in business, sport, technology, recreation, etc
    in regards to currency conversion, just go into the future, look for a place that's in exactly the same state as it is at present, go back to now, and stash some fine wine.
    that, or a subscription for the racing post

    Finally a place to discuss the time machine designs in Napoleon Dynamite....that one that u stick between ur legs and put the tinfoil hat on and it burns ur balls...

    bump in light of the recent spate of approvings

    seriously, i needs somewhere where i can find answers to the issues of maintaining molecular stability when travelling through wormholes on my time machine. i don't want my ears falling off. again...

    I was thinking the same. :)

    By the sounds of it the polarity reversal is out of whack by a few microns. Set the toaster to medium brown and that should sort it.

    Wow AC that was exactly 12mins 34seconds later, your time machine is really good. i'm jealous!

    hmmm... i think the toaster's on it's last legs... I really should have upgraded to the 4 slot ones. But dammit, i wanted those LED lights!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    medium brown isnt always needed, set the toaster to full whack and go forward to where the toast is a perfectly accecptable level of brown.

    you can't always rely on that though. the higher the setting on your toaster the more likely it is that the toast will be unevenly done..... this will ultimately upset the stability of your craft, particularly dangerous on exiting the white-hole. then you also have the conundrums of time compression. by the time the toast is done time will be so compressed in the wormhole that the acceptable level of brown will have already happened yesterday. if that happens the effects can be fatal... next year.

    remember kids you want to do as little metal processing during the wormhole as possible.

    I don't mean to go off on a limb here, but you may need to consider other methods. Possibly a blender orinatated machine? If you could calibrate the size, weight and speed of the blades to match the natural frequency of time you could, for want of a better word "cut" through time. The possibilitys are endless, but the make is all important.

    would you need to coat the blades with something like Thiotimoline for that method to work? how much modification would it involve?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    what about the stargate sg1 method of time travel,
    all we need is a stargate and some way of predicting solar flares


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,100 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    I could use my time machine to go into the future and find out when the solar flairs will happen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    just because you have a time machine that doesnt mean you're better than me

    It does actually. It's in the forum charter that was/will be written in a few days/weeks/months/whenever Vex approves this forum, and was brought back to us from the future by AC. At least that's what he told us...


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,100 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Actually I brought it from the past.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,443 ✭✭✭blackbox


    There's too much fanciful philosophising on this forum.

    Can anyone give me practical advice. I have a Bosch microwave and a Panasonic time machine and I'm not getting anywhere.

    Do the Germans have a different communications protocol? Please keep the answers simple.

    PS - I had no success with the hand mixer either - it was a Bendix.

  • Moderators, Politics Moderators Posts: 40,292 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    @blackbox - what model Bosch microwave have you? It must be over 1200W in order to work. Models such as the Bosch HMT 85 G 650 are good.
    I would recommend against using Panasonic time machines because they are crap and have issues with people ending up like Seth Brundle when things went wrong!

    yeah. you're far better off anyway building your own than buying store bought. that way you can calibrate the nanochron containment fields to function at a higher frequency, which generally makes for a smoother ride. it's not that hard anyway, all the tools you need are a screwdriver, a fork and some nail varnish.

    handmixers aren't good anyway. they tend to crap out under stress, you're much better off modifying a blender, generally tends to give a higher output.

    I found my hairdryer, used in conjunction with the washing machine s another time machine


  • Moderators, Politics Moderators Posts: 40,292 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    Hairdryers and washing machines are ideally suited as they both contain sibling elements (air and water)! A tumble dryer can be used also instead of a hairdryer and has the advantage of carrying more people across the time portal.
    Don't use washing & drying combi machines though as they frequently break down and the last thing you want is to get stuck in the middle ages trying to fix it! It took me several hours to get mine sorted!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭pretty-in-pink


    Tell me bout it, nearly got burned at the stake once when that happened

    Hairdryer? Washing machine? :confused:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,490 ✭✭✭✭Victor

    Its true. They say they'll be ready in 10 minutes and show up two hours later. If you ask them about it, they say they were only there for a short while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭pretty-in-pink


    I'm usually never more then 10 minutes late. Maybe 20 if traffics bad, or there are no busses. Sometimes I'm even early
