We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy. If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?

Jump

  • Opposite of the movie Wedlock

    • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

    Jump

  • My teapot probably from the 1940's

    • Training Payoff

    Jump

  • Centrally Located Input Tool

    • Is that bad?

    Jump

  • XP was the last good Windows.

    • Where does technology come from in Star Wars?

    Jump

  • A: beepboop whistle.

    • What is the longest first name of a person you have met?

    Jump

  • Rasmus-Nikolaj, with a hyphen, counts as one name right?

    One of my teachers' son is named such. Was to be named Ib but they found that too short, and then couldn't agree on their favorite alternatives so they chose both. With a hyphen.

  • Probably because there's a question mark earlier in the url?

    • What's a piece of esoteric knowledge you have?

    Jump

  • I have absolutely no idea what you said. But I have a really awesome friend named Tierney.

  • That god actually has a name?

    • The most powerful laser in the US recently produced 2 quadrillion watts of power

    Jump

  • I have a decent grasp of physics but I understand nothing at all about this article. Melp me out, please?

    What use is a high energy beam that last for an almost immeasurably short period of time? How can it even be said that it has this power output, in such a short time?

    "Zero-POW!-zero" sounds unbelievable to normal humans. No ramp-up? No sizzling out?

    On such a short time scale, what's the actual Wh used? It can't be very much, so the actual energy delivered can hardly do anything at all, either.

    And finally, what's even the point of this? What's the purpose? What's the end goal? Why?

    many possible applications, including better imaging methods for soft tissues and advancing the technology used to treat cancer

    I don't see how that works out.

    Thank you for indulging me. I appreciate any responses.

    • What keyboard do people find useful these days?

    Jump

  • No worries, happy for you. I installed and tested it. Pleasantly surprised that it can do many languages and many layouts, even obscure ones like Colemak-dh.

    But several languages don't have autocorrect and you'd have to find (or create) then install a language file manually. Reasonable given the alpha version, but not good enough for me yet.

  • Can Futo handle three languages at once? That's why I am still on SwiftKey.

    • Yes, the PURCHASE is the concern...

    Jump

  • Would a person actually do that? Isn't that an instant trip to the hospital?

    • Once ‘dead’ thrusters on the farthest spacecraft from Earth are in action again

    Jump

  • Voyager has no propulsion thrusters. It got its velocity from planetary fly-by's and that's it. It can only turn itself, it has no other thrusters.

    1. Throw away your Apple devices. Fuck that walled garden.

  • Who remembers the original Neko.exe for Windows 95? I do, and it's still running around on the TV computer in the living room.

    Neko is the Japanese word for cat, by the way.

    • "Headhunters" that work for you?

    Jump

  • That won't do much good because I'm in an obscure small country.
