I disagree. Both "offensive" and "harmful" are up to debate based on arbitrary views / moral codes.

That defeats the purpose of a railgun. A railgun is useful because it can fire long distances at a low cost. Combining a traditional rocket with a a railgun, if it was possible (which is isn't because a railgun shot is made of special

I don't understand your comment. Yes, you could do it with an Arduino too, or any other computer, or a microcontroller. From my experience, RPi might be more appealing since it runs a real OS and you can have a desktop environment.

For example, if I want to create something to monitor and auto water my garden. I don't want to have a laptop sitting outside 24/7 or a line inside and require my desktop PC on 24/7.

No, it's not. Throwing addicts in prison does nothing to help addiction rates, and proper support systems to help addicts can't be created easily if heroin is illegal.

Of course laundering already occurs. But that doesn't mean we should ignore things that could further enable it.

I disagree. Society is highly political, so why should Twitter be "apolitical" with their moderation? (if such a thing is even possible. I doubt the feasibility of apolitical moderation in general)

You are missing some words there so I'm not sure what you are asking. I think that chemical weapons are far far worse than railguns. And I'm not the only one that thinks that...

It sure is. Are you implying that a railgun is equally or less humane as chemical weapons?

If not political advocacy groups, who would be a better consultant choice? Isn't the entire purpose of advocacy groups to encourage the safety of certain groups?

Lots of people. One of the selling points of things like smart thermostats is the you can remotely control them; you can set them to your preferred temperature as you are traveling home so it will be nice when you arrive.

I think you are exaggerating. The goal of SBIRs is to fund high risk research. Solar roadways are high risk; even if it fails completely it's not like a lot of money is wasted, and something valuable is still learned. Qualcomm was the
