== Do people make 3D printed guns ==
No, not here. This is a really common, complicated, awful question with an easy answer. No. Making guns or firearms in a shared workspace is illegal (Federal felony) because a place that makes guns (firearms) has to be a federally-licensed firearms manufacturing facility. PS1 does not and will not have that license. You can't make a gun here. Secondly, firearms aren't allowed at the space by common agreement. Don't even bring one in that you've made yourself, or as concealed carry, even if you have a concealed carry permit. Anything you've heard about how you can, legally, make your own guns with 3d printers or anything else applies to YOUR house with YOUR tools, but it doesn't belong here in any way. You can make nerf guns, squirt guns, t-shirt cannons, foam cosplay props or pumpkin catapults if you are reasonable and safe going about it.
== Are hackers hacking election results, sending me spam email, stealing credit card info or copying my Facebook profile? ==
No. That is the wrong kind of [https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-emerging-threats-what-is-the-difference-between-black-white-and-grey-hat-hackers.html hacker]. The kind of hacker we encourage here is the kind of person who is exploring the worlds of science, technology, art and culture to learn and express

If you still totally can't figure things out, come to a member meeting on Tuesdays at 8 pm, send an email to [email protected] or come to just about any event and pull someone aside to ask about whatever is not clear to you.

== Can my nerdy meetup meet at Pumping Station: One? ==
== Can a group that isn't all members meet at Pumping Station: One? ==
For your meetup to meet at our space, you need a member to host and sponsor the meetup (i.e. attend the whole time you're there and be responsible for you) and that member is responsible for all aspects of that meeting or meetup. Your meetup also should probably have something to do with making/hacking things, though we have often hosted meetings for the Avondale Neighborhood Association, and other organizations and groups.

Members have 24/7 access to the space and there are tables, chairs, coffee makers and wifi access points. No reserved or dedicated space; we share everything and clean up after ourselves.

There are no private offices or quiet undisturbed conference rooms. If you want to call what you do here 'coworking' that's fine.
== Do you offer storage space for projects? ==
== Do you offer storage space for projects? ==
There isn't any dedicated on-site storage for projects. However, full members (and not starving hacker level members) may have a shelf or locker to store their personal things in, and we have some limited space for longer term projects that is negotiated on a case-by-case basis with that area's Area Host and the rest of the members.
SMALL projects can be stored on a Full members' member shelf. (Starving Hacker membership level does not include any shelf space.) There isn't any dedicated on-site storage for larger projects. You may be able to negotiate some limited space for a limited time on a case-by-case basis with that area's Area Host and figuring out a way to best accommodate the rest of the members. Time and space is limited. Storing things on a work surface or in a high-traffic walkway, or in a doorway, is not cool. Some work surfaces are specifically marked to prohibit project storage when they aren't being worked on Right Now.

The TARDIS is not currently parked at these space-time coordinates. There is no roof access without using a ladder and we really don't let anyone up there without a Good Reason, but if it reappears in the future (or in the past) we might consider a tour of the vast, spacious interior of the TARDIS.
