    My friend calls pineapples ‘Dragon Eggs’ and tossed one into a bonfire. Pulled it out later to have the most delicious roasted sweet mythical egg ever

    I’ve been watching Tech Ingredients search for the best shield material to test their Drone destroying extreme high power laser setup indoors for obvious reasons.

    It turned out to be fruits/veggies. Nothing else came close. So he went with panels filled with thickened water.

      I’m personally skeptical of laser based weapons, given that they have one wavelength. once one is developed and deployed, it will be trivial to paint drones with a reflective paint specific for that wavelength.

      The results is a nation investing 100s of millions on a weapon, that once deployed will be countered by 1000s $ of spray paint.

      imagine if you could get a t-shirt that could deflect a any bullet. that’s what still happen with laser based weapons.

      If the steam doesn’t get you, the enzymes breaking down your proteins would surely give you horrible skin irritation.
