I think the electromagnetic repulsion between the nuclei would make it take up quite a bit of space indeed.
Depends on how hard you compress it during manufacture. Cf neutronium. 
A restaurant chain called Leftoverz takes the nation by storm. Dining areas are designed to resemble kitchen interiors, featuring things like linoleum flooring, lots of (nonfunctional) cabinets and formica counters, decorative refrigerators line the walls and are adorned with lots of magnets, crayon drawings by four year olds, and shopping lists. The menu features many items like: casseroles, two fifths of a rack of ribs, cold slices of pizza, meatloaf and ketchup sandwiches, and pb&j’s. Items are served from repurposed margarine containers and Tupperware. Flatware, glasses, and silverware are a motley assortment of mismatched items. Restaurant staff all dress in street clothing (breakfast could be served by folks wearing slippers and bathrobes). Service is usually quite speedy because really how long does it take to microwave a few plates worth of spaghetti in a Corning ware dish?
I had an idea for a restaurant called Home Cooking, where you could drive through on your way home from work and pick up a fully cooked meal to take home. There would be a choice of a few entrees and a bunch of sides to choose from. The entrees would change every day so that you were always guaranteed something different.
I thought that any food that didn’t sell on a particular day could be donated to a homeless shelter, but maybe I just sell the leftovers to Leftoverz.
A breakup service. Essentially, mediation for people who have been dating.
For the person breaking up, they do an interview, get a full understanding of the situation, and prepare a PowerPoint presentation, which they will then present to the other person.
For the person getting dumped, there’s grief counseling, and maybe a nice buffet.
Then there’s an exchange of personal items, one last final conversation (perhaps behind a partition), and maybe some legal forms, as applicable (we have the “crazy stalker” package, and the very popular “non disclosure agreement”)
Tie it in to a dating service, and you could make a fortune.
Even better if it included a quick-response on-call moving service to get his/her shit out of her/his residence pronto.
Genius, Moriarty; it’s genius!
Triangular solar panels. Many, many roofs are not orthogonal, triangles would help cover more roof space. Good for getting more power for the consumer and the solar company sells more square footage, win for everybody.
Same here, used to buy Levi’s in 33" length
I have one that actually works.
The funny thing is, they make fake panels in all kinds of shapes for aesthetic purposes.
They ought to be hexagonal for extra- futuristic aesthetic and practical fit.
They should be shaped like Penrose tiles to make the installers’ job more interesting.
I’m staying in a hotel at the moment, and was expecting one of those easy-to-use waffle irons at the free breakfast. You know the type if you’ve done much travelling over the past twenty years or so - pour in a measured amount of batter, close the lid, turn it over, a two-and-a-half minute timer starts, and when the alarm beeps at the end you can open it back up and you’ve got a perfect waffle.
But this hotel has a pancake machine, and you don’t even need to fill it! You just push a button, it extrudes a pancake onto a conveyor belt inside the machine, cooks it just so and it flops out the side of the machine after a minute. Push the button twice, you get two pancakes spaced one minute apart, and so on and so forth.
I don’t know if it’s going to be available for personal consumer use at some point, but it may not be too far away.
I assume somebody needs to fill it, otherwise Star Trek food replicator tech has been monopolized by the Hyatt Corporation.
Yeah, I’m sure there’s a reservoir that the hotel workers fill from time to time. Either way, it’s better than Neelix’s cooking!
There are remote control dildos and the idea is that the remote person can stimulate the dildo wearer whenever they want to leading to possibly embarrassing situations.
We had the remote clit ticklers over 20 years ago. I had some fun with that when my girlfriend was bartending.
Sounds awesome!
