"Dipper, you're a cool dude, but using me for this meme isn't cool dude."

• Do what I could to stop the passing of the SCOTUS Citizen's United ruling
• Write a letter to then Senator Obama that there's a major recession coming and that holding the banks accountable and buoying the lower and middle class is a better option than a bailout of the private sector
• Warn about various impending natural disasters around the world to try to save as many folks as I could

Not a particular franchise, but I miss parody movies like Hot Shots or Airplane. Barring one of those being remade, I'd settle for a reboot of Tremors.

This one?

Leto II. Deadpool was already taken, so I went with a more controversial example.

Quite true, and I did enjoy it. I'm hopeful that its moderate success review-wise will mean others like it will get made (perhaps scifi parodies or spy film parodies).

• The Revenant, keep Leonardo DiCaprio
• The Martian, keep Matt Damon
• Lord of the Rings, keep Viggo Mortensen

The Bird

Invader Zim. The animation and shock humor was a little much for younger me, particularly the organ stealing episode.

Not a TV show specifically, but another thing I remember was there were these anti smoking ads with claymation figures that had creepy music and they ate dead birds and things.

Yeah, even as a fan of biotech/synthetic biology, this gives me the heebie jeebies. I would rather serious resources be devoted to the Virtual Physiological Human Project and then have hospitals have ubiquitous dedicated bioprinters that can make organs/tissues based on genetic data from a cheek swab. Also genetic records are either temporary and needing consented reapplication or are permanent yet completely transparent about what data the hospital has and how it's being used/stored.

Perfect synopsis for the game Nine Sols?

Someone already mentioned it. Plus I thought it'd be funny if Aragorn had to protect hobbit muppets from nazgul muppets.

"You want desert power? I can get you desert power. There are ways, Dude."

Wartime powers to lock things down domestically more than he already has been? That's my BS guess.

Beyond the easy answers of replicating the machine itself or covering basic needs, I think it would be interesting to make a super computer with a small form factor capable of mind uploading. Then you print a replacement body in a position that fits within a cubic meter and presumably you can extend your life for a bit. A simpler alternative would be to replicate medicines that have been shown to extend healthspans in the short term and just take them in the recommended dosage when you need to.

Any of the following:

• Materials needed to make an open source 3D printer, co2 laser, and pick-&-place machine
• Materials needed to make a hydroponics garden system and precision fermentation system
• Materials for a LiFePO4 battery and solar energy system
• Putting a dent in both my personal debt and that of my family and friends
• Donating that 20k to my local makerspace to improve their operations
• Starting a nonprofit

Nice try, Baba Yaga.

Now, the serious answer is a few windows slide sideways and a few others slide up and down. All have screens to keep bugs out.

One that works reliably and is fully paid for

That there is an as of yet undiscovered loophole to either the no cloning theorem or the more general no broadcast theorem. I can understand the problems that are generated by either being true, but FTL communication and dataships are just so darn cool.
