What are you cooking in that huge microwave thonk

It's a rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave

It's not really obvious to anyone who hasn't heard of the concept

Hmph, imagine not knowing about rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave

Is this actually what a 'microwave' would be in this context? I don't know about this kind of stuff so not sure if this is a joke

It would be transfered via microwaves, that is, EM waves with micrometer frequencies.

FS Shifty + Stalefish Tweak into a (somewhat sloppy) Eggplant Nose Pick

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

An eggplant is a handplant variation lip trick while a nosepick is a BS disaster into an overcrook stall instead of a lipslide stall, therefore making an eggplant nosepick impossible nerd

You probably meant a beanplant, which is a boneless variation where the board is popped like a no comply into a nosegrab before the footplant instead of an earlygrab indy footplant jump.

Birds?

I don't know if the power density would actually be high enough to cook birds... but I don't really care to check because it'll never be built in reality so real-world performance is irrelevant, and sci-fi maser satellites are cool. Unless you're a bird.
