Now electronics I know considerably better than surgery. Also, was not aware that the magnets are THAT brittle. Somehow not shocking though. But the electronics do sound like a considerably more amiable option given the benefits v risks. Not to mention I could just set up an electrode or even haptic array in a glove and it…

@otptheperson I am going to try and get some cheap bars of the REMs and maybe mill them to a specific shape. I'm still looking into it. Can anyone tell me why this might not/wouldn't work? Guess the real trick will be proper bioproofing, right? @S0lll0s I was kind of wondering if that might be a benefit of an array. The…

Hate to dash any dreams but, as already stated, it isn't really "augmented" reality. Its just our normal visual field with a little screen in the corner. It also kind of comes off as "Two for 19.99 +s/h" as seen on T.V.

I think the answer would boil down to making a system by which to keep the brain alive and healthy while allowing it control over a replacement machine body. I mean I don't know Dwayne Dibbly about Neurobiology, but doesn't it really just take some blood, nutrients, and hormones? We got a brain doctor in the house? (Please…

So, whatever came of this C-60 idea? Read through the thread and seems interesting. Also, I want to see some GITS level tech, but life extension seems the more pressing of matters. Once that is figured out one has bought time to figure out the rest, right? Unless we want to keep up this grinding (in the colloquial sense)…

Fair point. And double locks are becoming common. What about maybe shearing down a key to be flat and removing most of the little ring part so one only has a small tab by which to turn it? I know the key rotates about a peg in the cuff, so removing part of the peg's cup on the key might be problematic, but I think a happy…

@drjaaz Ha. Both sound like my cup of tea. BC may be more my thing though based on your take. Mainly looking for laid back, liberal, and secular. Thanks for the input.

Sounds like a good method. Kind of a "Break glass in case of emergency" sort of implant. As far as applications... Well, maybe if we could refine and standardize a method of doing it this could become popular amongst protestors. Shouldn't be outside of the realm for a body mod and piercing specialist, right? Would like to…

Yeah, I imagine the butt meats would make a more comfortable place for a skin pocket. I tried several cuff configurations earlier and one place I can consistently reach is the webbing between the index and thumb. Any thoughts on a skin pocket in this area or some other method of retrievable implant, anyone? Maybe just a…

I've been to Toronto. Seemed like a nice city. It was so... clean. Anyone around there taking American refugees? Or just looking for roommates? I'm stuck in the rhinestone stud on the American bible belt atm. Want out. Am looking at Denver CO, but also seriously looking into Toronto. Any info or advice on the…

Pretty amazing potential there. Wasn't even aware of this project. Most of what I've delved into as far as neuroscience is stuff from Prof. Steven Novella and Kevin Warwick, the later of which I'm sure has been discussed to death here. Kind of surprised Warwick doesn't come here for volunteers. Also, the openworm led me to…

I'm aware of many Transhumanist communities online. Maybe I'm interested in this community's take on this subject? I mean what is the endpoint of grinding if not becoming more than human? I am an Atheist and skeptic to sate your curiosity. Last evidence I saw supported consciousness being the experience we ascribe to the…

Thanks for the links! Guess I suck at searching before posting. I did try. XD

Lmao. Thanks, I'll eagerly await your answer. XD Going for a degree? If so I wish you good luck on your way.

True indeed. The ability to perform this maneuver does come down to the individual. Is why I would shoot for some sort of skin pocket in the hand or wrist somewhere. That way it doesn't matter much in what manner one is handcuffed.
-
I hate to be a buzz kill, but SOP is to cuff folks behind their backs. Try reaching your ear from there. Also, sliding one's legs through cuffed hands isn't the easiest maneuver. So, I'd either refocus efforts on the skin pocket, which would also prove useful for so many other augmentation projects, or make a bracelet or…

Whelp, here is my hodge podge of potentially applicable skills. There is also a Maker/Hackerspace nearby, so I can gain access to 3D printing and what not. Skills: Art: * Graphic Design * Sculpting (Clay, stone, metal, whatever.) * Concept Sketching Science: * Working knowledge of physics and basic mechanics. * A+ Cert(in…
