Cryptochrome?, in MY cells? Never! I'm a MORLOCK damnit!

We might want to look for Helium-3 too, or refine deuterium (Hydrogen-1 is actually pretty useless for fusion.)

We need to grab that stuff before it floats off into space, maybe we should build some kind of grabber drone.

we could quickly make a nano-fiber net to catch excess material exiting from the mine.

While a net energy loss for the process, running the hydrogen 1 through a Farnsworth fusor (which might be doable with our current power source?) Would convert a decent portion of the hydrogen into deuterium and helium, which could be fed to a stellerator.

(One of the more useful roles of using a fusor is to run eg, water vapor through it, and use it as a source of soft neutrons that is easy to shut off. Putting it inside a tank of hydrogen-1 should convert a decent amount to deuterium through neutron capture, but will be a slow and power hungry process. Once the stellerator is on though, it just becomes a vampiric loss on energy production to run the fusor for fuel synthesis. Collecting excess neutrons from the stellerator itself for hydrogen enrichment and ditching the fusor might be more economical.)

Respectively.

We need water to extract fusion energy though, since we need coolant loops.

We need to get a sample of our overburden into our compartment for microscopy / xray crystallography. We can then get decent guesses about what we have to work with, and can make reasonably coherent plans.

Chondrite type asteroid should have most of what we need for water and fusion energy generation, but be low in metals.

They should be reasonably rich in hydrogen, oxygen, and light metals, like magnesium, but low concentration of iron or nickel. They frequently have pretty inclusions of olivine, and similar minerals.

You need to install the android debugging tools.

If you dont mind packages made by consummate hackers, XDA has an automated installer.

Alternatively, you can get the full SDK from google.

The usual problem with the premium paste is over application.

Like dippity-do, 'a little dab will do ya.'

If the die area is small, a tiny dot that spreads under pressure of the heat sink retainer is all you need. 'Rice sized drop' is for a full-die contact area!

How PopTarts are made!

Hilarious mistaken identity would be better I feel-- but Mkay.


Oh well-- Time to make friends with Mummy Dearest.

Be advised, it is frequently reported that coffee tastes radically different after the loss of sense of smell post covid.

Neuroscientists believe it has to do with rewiring of the olfactory bulb. Sufferers just call it "New Coffee"
