Sourcepost

A specific instance of Source Sophism—a post or comment whose sole purpose is to demand sources in a way that exhausts or dismisses rather than inquires. The Sourcepost often appears reasonable: "source?" "citation needed." But its function is not to seek information; it's to cast doubt, shift burden, or end engagement. The Sourcepost is recognizable by its pattern: demand source, dismiss source, demand better source, repeat. It's a rhetorical move disguised as a request.
"Source?" he commented, and nothing else. Not engagement, not discussion—just the demand. Sourcepost: source as conversation-ender, citation as cudgel. He didn't want to know; he wanted to stop knowing."

Ethically Sourced AI

Oh, I stole it from one of the cattle and it passed my daughter off so I backwards engineered it is such a way that now I can LIE and say we didn't need Hym to do it but it's a lie and I'm doing it to placate my daughter.
Hym "Ethically Sourced AI! You know the one where we stole it from the guy who actually did it and then tried to mind rape him and then we showed up and it was already happening and everybody was like 'It's HIM!? I know that guy! He's the guy that were doing this thing that he was talking about to!'? Well, some time has passed after not giving him credit before... NOW... Now, we can give him even more not credit! I called it Ethically Sourced so now it's good. Like the religion! Yeah, we did a bunch of genocide before but NOW... It's Ethically Sourced genocide."

Locally sourced rimjobs taste better than from those from foreign countries.

Portable Power Sources

Compact, high-density devices or systems designed to generate, store, and deliver substantial electrical or mechanical energy for mobile operations in remote or off-grid environments. This goes beyond a power bank; it's the lifeblood of field science, military ops, and planetary exploration. Think micro-reactors, advanced fuel cells, or high-capacity quantum batteries that can run a habitat, a vehicle, or a suite of instruments for weeks or years without a plug. The core challenge is maximizing energy density (joules per kilogram) while maintaining safety and durability under extreme conditions. It's the modern, high-tech equivalent of carrying fire.
*Example: In The Martian, Mark Watney's reliance on the Portable Power Sources of the RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator)—a nuclear battery that provided constant heat and electricity—is what kept him alive. A modern special forces team using silent, hydrogen fuel cell packs to run their comms, drones, and exosuits for a 72-hour mission is leveraging next-gen portable power.*
