# Key Points from IRC Log

• Participants shared a genetic modifications list on the DIY wiki, featuring concepts like engineered microbes to fight cavities, skin lightening genes, and hair modification genes, representing practical applications of biohacking.

• Technical discussion occurred about nerve stimulation for inducing orgasm, debating whether targeting dorsal spinal nerve bundles (T9-T10) or pudendal nerves would be more effective, with references to Stuart Meloy's work and patent US20200222858.

• The group analyzed limitations of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for spinal applications, noting that the spine's unique shape and dielectric properties make current density unpredictable despite successful electrical field induction.

• A tool called "pdfparanoia" was announced for removing document watermarks, highlighting tensions between academic publishing restrictions and open access to scientific information.

• Plans for 3D printing aluminum in oxygen-free vacuum chambers were shared, with practical advice about using pressure canners as containers and warnings about implosion risks for containers designed for internal pressure.

• A community DIYbio lab in San Diego (Biotech & Beyond) was discussed, with photos showing equipment including PCR machines, microarray scanners, and microscopes, demonstrating grassroots efforts to democratize biotechnology access.

• Resources shared included a large repository of scientific papers from the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy (144.206.159.178/ft/) and a sandbox script for VM management (http://www.omgwallhack.org/home/jrayhawk/src/sandbox.sh).
