Hello, fellow Asgardians! As a researcher in Applied Linguistics, I take full interest in collaborating to the production of an Asgardian slang dictionary. I'll keep eyes open to this topic, tell me in which ways I can help. Regards, Geisson Homrich

>As macabre as this may seem... I think restricting impractical types of funerary types (burial/creation, e.g.) and allowing people to decide on permissible alternatives alone would be enough. Lots of people would probably be willing to have their body recycled, especially given the type of people we are actively seeking out.

Q) what about death ceremonies in Asgardia? A) my answer to your question Dirk in regards to the death ceremonies in Asgardia is simply we as a nation have to think practical. Now I understand that as asgardians from more than 150 countries across the globe we have different beliefs and procedures to deal with those who have died. However unfortunately being up in space ( in the near future) there will be many things we would want to do for our "fallen" love ones , but can't due to the lack of resources. We have to think of resources to the nation...... Basically if the nation was " up and alive" with land territory on earth territory than we would do what we would do what our different cultures and procedures see fit to our departed. But as we are a planned space nation we must take in consideration of limited space and fuel used to possible burn the departed. From recycling the departed for fertiliser of the oxygen/grow rooms,nutrition for the vegetation to naturally cremations by putting the departed to the nearby sun or earth's atmosphere. Personally I like Dommicsturt's reply (29th December 2016 12:56am ) to this post simply because I like the idea of memorial plaques in a specific part the vessel.... like a wall of remembrance. Regards Fpitts

As macabre as this may seem, while in space our resources will be limited. Recycling will be a high priority to avoid loss of usable materials. Our departed could serve as a fertilizer for oxygen/grow rooms. Using a fast acting decomp process and turning the bodys into nutrient rich soil for the plants we will need on board the station. I know there will be people opposed to the idea, but I am merely looking long term.

People really require instructions for how to use a search engine? I'd rather wait until there's an internal option(I still don't understand why this doesn't exist already, it's not complicated even if building from scratch) that isn't invasively collecting data in order to further it's own agenda(s).

What does it matter as to the gender? What should concern you is the quality of the input.

Quanto aos detritos, podem ser lançados contra a estrela mais próxima por exemplo ;) ___________________________________________________________________________ As for debris, they can be thrown at the nearest star for example ;)

Really, if we can solving the issues required to solve for constructing facilities that can house the population, then we'll have no need to stress the Earth's ecosystem by imposing our needs upon it, and sensibly grow what we need where we don't have to fight gravity to get it to us. And eat it fresh. There's a lot more room in space, and we can top up the deficits in the global production levels which are almost assurdly to rise as time progresses, and as our production capacities increase our requirements to trade with Earth will lessen to the point where they have nothing left to productively give and we have more than we can even waste. So it makes sense to just give it to them, and thusly end world hunger. By simply giving everyone food. Might as well save the money on freeze-drying equipment. There's no chance of us building any serious facilities any time soon, so have no need for freeze-dried foods for "space" and by the time we can build such facilities, we'd of already started on the supply chains to ensure the Earth isn't required for our survival. There's no hope of Alpha Centuri this century, and that's if we left *now*. It's quite some way away, will take a long time, even at light speed - which we can currently get nowhere near, theoretically something like the EM-Drive/Q-thruster could achieve 2/3rd light speed, in about 40yrs of accelleration.... That could get to Proxima Centuri(slightly closer) in about 85yrs or so, accounting for braking. 3D printers and "robotics" will indeed be useful, but we need more than that. A 3D printer can only do so much, other tools are required like milling machines - the debris from which in microgravity might become an issue.

Our whole language in Australia is basically slang, but here are some of my favorites that I often use: Buckley's – equivalent to a snowball’s chance in hell “You’ve got Buckley’s of that happening.” Two chances – Buckley’s and something less likely than Buckley’s “I’ve got two chances to pass this exam.” Cactus - dead, broken “My car is cactus.” Furphy – a rumour or a bold lie “That story about John catching a 25kg Barra was a furphy.” Iffy – questionable, dodgy “That repair is iffy.” Silly as a two bob watch - Intellectually deficient “Mick is as silly as a two bob watch.” Sparrow’s fart – dawn “I have to get up at sparrow fart tomorrow.” Bag of fruit – suit “I’m absolutely melting in this bag of fruit.” Shank’s pony – walking somewhere “If you can’t afford a taxi, take Shank’s pony.”

Tell that to the Japanese citizens, and animie fans everywhere. My captcha for this post was one of my most common used slang: "meh" It's the disinterested or non-commital noise caused by apathy when you're not happy enough or unhappy enough to actually make further effort. Generally I've avoided input from this thread up until now, I've spent a lot of time on /b and urban dictionary, I know much slang, but some people would prefer going the rest of their lives without discovering what "smeltching" is.

Ill just add my greetings with the other Dutch people. Tim here, also from the Netherland, really like the possiblities of Asgardia, hoping it will all work out and no matter what will enjoy the ride! I am experienced in the fields of business intelligence and sustainablity. I have created a sustainability reporting platform and hope to apply my knowledge where applicable.

Hello Quinten, the countdown of the final round of voting begins, so I invite you please to confirm again your vote. If you still an undecided voter, I advertise you please to check my updated profile. If your are satisfied and convinced by my Parliamentary program, vote for me, and I will... thanks https://asgardia.space/en/elections/candidates/Arabic/23829/
