Sterno. That stuff saved my life when I was homeless.

Quite worthy of discussion as well!

Shit! I came here to say Steve too... Ay op it's name is Steve. We have spoken.

Dude in the orange attempted to rob them with mace. As he walks up you can see him grab something out of his pocket then put it in dudes face. Later you can see him spraying it at dude but he's standing too far away.

Cheap/spent mace for sure.

Looks like dude in the orange saw dude proposing and often times proposals come with a fancy expensive ring. Clearly an easy mark. As the orange guy walks up, you can see him pull mace out of his pocket which he then sprays in dudes face at a close range. However, instead of being incapacitated, proposal dude clearly has a strong paradoxical reaction to the mace and becomes the pure embodiment of rage in physical form. This proves to be problematic to the man in orange.

I'd probably go back to bed because I'm clearly still dreaming. If that doesn't work then I'd probably just take my guns and archery stuff and barricade myself in my large windowless shop that only has one door, is sound proof, and made of steel and get some sleep in there.

If I wake up and the zombies are still real then at least I can probably drill some peep holes in the walls and fashion something that resembles a sword or a halberd or something. Maybe something like a riot shield? I do have a fairly decent airgun and that's pretty quiet and allegedly strong enough to hunt deer with so I might be set without having to actually build weapons.

I have plenty of animal traps and water filters and I live quite close to a forest with running water going through it so I won't be getting hungry or thirsty anytime soon.

Oh yeah that's a pretty solid benefit right there. I swear the oddest things will block them from cutting. I didn't even consider the smoke diffusing the beam.

Like the most powerful laser I've used won't cut through a paper sticker or even the residue but it'll cut through .75" steel like it's nothing.

The optics is a big deal too. On the big ones everything is pretty reasonably sized and they're still a pain to clean. I can't imagine what it's like with those tiny ones. Also, those larger lasers lenses are really commonly coated in thorium and a speck gets on there it's going to superheat and vaporize a lot of the lense. Pretty damn dangerous to be around lol!

CNC laser operator here.

I don't know about these lower power lasers so I may be wrong. With the lasers I've used (200-2000W), the air/oxygen is used to create a superheated jacket of gas around the laser which allows it to cut a nice smooth edge. It also has the added benefit of blowing away the slag/dross that's created.

When we cut more temperature sensitive materials like aluminum and stainless we use nitrogen, which cools the material. This creates a pretty jagged deal with the dross that you gotta sand off but it prevents blowouts and really creates a nice edge if you get the pressure dialed in just right.

Z.

He literally tried to get his followers to overthrow the government, sold US secrets to our enemies, stole uncountable top secret documents presumably to sell to other countries, lately he's been saying that his second presidency is going to be a literal dictatorship...

IDK who's flavor-aid you've been drinking but you really should like... IDK... Look into a different flavor or something.

I bet it's a guitar and a pet canary!

Yeah man it's insanely easy to pirate the games you want on the 3DS lmao! Great console for data hoarding.
