Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I'll start with the complete bunk part. Yes, you are correct, it is unscientific. No argument there. But not really "bunk" as most cryonicists place the odds of working at 1%. Bunk implies a positive claim, that's not very positive.
All modern Cryonics facilities use expensive pressurized dewars. Your statement is so egregiously wrong and foundational I can discard the rest. If you had a test on Cryonics facilities your grade would be an F, not a D-. Sorry. We could not agree on any further point but here's a bit for you to read into.
Modern cryonics facilities are not large enough to need much liquid nitrogen, can you quote specific amounts in gallons per week? No, you can't, because you totally made that sentence up or your company used less than a gallon a year. The liquid nitrogen required is cheap and miniscule and it's covered by a perpetual fund. It's actually small compared to other upfront costs. Perpetual funds are how the Getty Museum and Benjamin Franklin's will operate, they have been around for hundreds of years. It's small enough for a human powered bicycle generator to generate for a single patient (those are onsite but never used before).
It's certainly possible for an outage but modern Cryonics facilities have seen one in decades. Can you cite proof of your statement of such a failure in the last 30 years? Probably not as it's not true.
