Here's a compromise between those who want to discuss cryonics and those
who think it's weirdly off-topic:  We'll freeze this thread.

Hmmm. James and Liam just put a smile on my face, and honestly, if
we're going to have off-topic discussions here, I prefer these over
intra-community flame wars any day.

James, it may not be appreciated- or appropriate, actually- on
wikimedia-l, but I would love it if you put an op-ed making your case
for "gender-inclusive cryonics solutions" on my user talk page for the
Wasted Times.

James, I hope you'll understand why I've decided to screen your posts
for a while.

This does it to me. Dear list moderators, could you please pretty please
consider putting James on moderation indefinitely? This behaviour has gone
on long enough, and clearly resulted in a net negative contribution to the
movement.

Thanks.

Ok, everyone can go home now. The competition for most abstract suggestion
on Wikimedia-L is now closed. As much as I would love for us to discuss
our own personal preferences in 'supercooling vitrification freezer'
manufacturers...
Perhaps if the WMF purchased their own cryogenics system for the
aforementioned company and instead it in the office cleaning cupboard,
staff coud keep the after-work drinks chilled in there too?
In the mean time, as a personal challenge, see if you can include the
phrase "gender-inclusive cryonics solution" in a casual conversation
without anyone noticing.

[Wikimedia-l] Cryonics

2014-10-15 Thread James Salsman
It has come to my attention that certain companies in the Foundation's
employment peer group have been offering ova cryonics as a family planning
benefit:

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/10/14/apple-and-facebooks-newest-perk-freezing-your-eggs/

I recommend that the Foundation explore gender-inclusive cryonics
solutions. I understand that supercooling vitrification freezers such as
those manufactured by ABI, Ltd. of Chiba, Japan called CASfresh or Cells
Alive System may be of some interest.
