• Alcor’s $27 M “Timeship” cryonics facility is operational, yet unresolved logistics remain for integrating patients from multiple cryonics organizations and onboarding future members.  
• Economic modeling by Mark Voelker indicates that on-site liquid-nitrogen production for Alcor is only cost-effective if major external supply disruptions are expected.  
• A real Alcor case report (Fred Chamberlain, A-1002) was circulated, providing rare technical detail on actual cryopreservation timelines and field procedures.  
• Inspired by the demolished Kowloon Walled City, a participant is designing an ultra-high-density living experiment that would use proven vacuum waste collection plus a novel positive-pressure, solenoid-vent capsule network for low-power, low-wear goods transport.  
• Historical precedents for packet-switched physical delivery include Paris’s city-wide steam-powered pneumatic tube network and Prague’s large-scale system, validating the concept for modern dense habitats.  
• DARPA and the VA will fund 1,000 two-year TechShop memberships for military veterans, potentially expanding grassroots access to advanced fabrication and biohacking tools.  
• A low-risk magnetic-sensory trial involves taping 120 small magnets to fingernails to preview the experience before committing to surgical finger implants.  
• Channel members explicitly debate the chronic open-source biohacker problem: high project initiation rates versus high abandonment once the sustained software-development “pain” sets in, weighing solo freedom against the coordination overhead of large collaborative projects.
