What can I do with a laser?
Serious question... Is there anything constructive I could do with this fabulous piece of optical engineering:

A fellow anon on /r9k/ (don't go there; what has been seen cannot be unseen) posted a link, noting that he was planning on using this $300.00 weapon to fry holes in the tires of cars in the Walmart parking lot. Any better ideas? Make a cat go wild... from 3 miles away?

It's funny how we used to be able to do real stuff with rudimentary computers, but now we can't. -- ratcheer
Re: What can I do with a laser?
dafuq is /r9k/ - is that on 4chan? if i were not at work i'd check it myself. i never like when people say 'dont go there', because it makes me want to go there. i can't imagine anything there being so shocking i would want to avoid it. plus, there's probably 12yo kids hanging around there so if they can see it so can i.
no ideas on the laser :)

It's pretty rubbish <- dare you click on the link at work???
Actually that has nothing to do with /r9k/ IDK what that is anyway.

Re: What can I do with a laser?
I does seem like lasers are often used in astronomy, so perhaps I will just purchase the thing and see what I can do with it. At 2,000mW, it should be able to cut through plastic.Alad wrote:Point it at the moon

Point it at people who drive Audi Q7s. That's a serious answer, fyi.

Re: What can I do with a laser?
looked up /r9k/, found nothing shocking there (yet). seems like quite a boring place actually... maybe because i am not used to it.

Re: What can I do with a laser?
Ja, it actually is a droll place this time of year. Tomorrow, on the other hand, will be the beginning of the exodus of Uni students from the boards. /r9k/ is more of a place for feels and stories than /b/. (Something like /x/ [paranormal], really.) /b/ is alive with The Fappening, so not much else is going on over there :( Considering all of this, /g/ and /k/ have been my hangouts for the last several days (minus a few minutes looking through the /r9k/ catalog).rhowaldt wrote:looked up /r9k/, found nothing shocking there (yet). seems like quite a boring place actually... maybe because i am not used to it.

Re: What can I do with a laser?
i really dont know much about the whole 4chan thing (never been on there or had any reason to be), but i'm sure it can be a fun place if you get to know it :)
