    eh. I think cameron’s masturbating.

    he’s just pushing stuff around and making nifty bits and bobs, but there’s none of the genius that was present in terminator, aliens, the abyss, etc., it does advance the tech but in no way meaningfully and the vast majority of the big advancements are too expensive for smaller creators to leverage.



















  • this is a nonstarter for multiple reasons:

    gallium will only react with exposed, raw aluminum, these scooters and bikes have paint or plastic coatings, or an oxide layer on any exposed aluminum.

    gallium isn’t exactly cheap - ten grams on amazon is $40+ usd…

    gallium attacks on aluminum aren’t exactly fast either - and you need to concentrate the puddle in one spot to keep it working, with some light agitation to remove the slag that will develop. also, it’s a liquid, so keeping it in one place is hard

    while aluminum is a good choice for these devices, I also wonder how many are steel because the lime scooters in my area are heavy as fuuuuuck lol. and I’d worry about aluminum frames bending with the fat bastards I see riding 'em.
