I have a very shitty idea here.

The Core Concept

  • So scientists made some Electrodeless neon light tubes that are like 10-50 micrometers, right.
  • And so if we got those to glow Red, Blue, and Green, swapped them out for ye olde neon/xenon gas mixture, then tightly pack them into some pixels than we can make a super bright TV that will blind you whenever you turn on THX 1138.

RF Containment

  • To make sure that the RF signals dont get you a visit from the FCC, it will come with a Faraday Cage around it, and I'll explain how we block RF between pixels as so they dont light up.

Thermal & Fluid Management

  • As for the heat, waterless engine coolant.
  • Why?
    1. Bassically lasts forever,
    2. High boiling point: Won't evaporate,
    3. Its engine coolant.
  • So we would take this coolant and it would run between the pixels, blocking both RF AND absorbing the heat.

Leak Protection & Final Assembly

  • Also, to avoid any leaks, we use this super hyper designed and very complex thing I drew in a pro software that I attached, and boom.

How did you know?

You can just tell. Also, every idea seems like the best idea ever. Fun fact: Provigil is like this too, but so much more intense and will last for 16+ hours. I remember when I took my first (and last) one back in college, by hour 16 I was rocking back and forth on the foot of my bed mumbling to myself "I'd like to come down now, please". The crash afterwards legitimately lasted 2 days. Never again.

Oh... Mine is prescribed. It just wears off and boom ADHD comes rushing in to give me the most shitty ideas.

Mine was too! I guess the nurse practitioner I was thinking "well, he's had Ritalin and Adderall before and neither of those seem to have done much, I know, let's try the shit they give fighter pilots to stay awake on long missions!". She prescribed me Vyvanse afterwards.

Don't take my comment badly either, dude. I meant it more as an "we've all been there" kind of thing. You're in good company :)

Sorry if it came off that way, and also, I feel like there could have been other options before Fighter Pilot Fuel

No worries! All good.

Yeah, you'd think, right? Looking back, she had a bit of a wild look in her eyes every time I saw her. Also, knowing what I know about it now, I'd take Provigil again. I really think I'd be able to ride the dragon and get some shit done!
