Yes, you can damage pretty much anything with enough energy. It's hard to fit high-power lasers on small flight-capable platforms, so ground-based units are more likely. You can blind UAV systems' sensors with IR lasers at relatively low power, too. However, this is easily countered by software. Reflective coatings and retroreflective foils are possible countermeasures to laser attacks, but even these have damage thresholds.

IR lasers and masers have the advantage of being eye-safe, meaning their light won't get bent by your eyes' lenses and can't damage your retinas, due to their wavelength. With enough power, however, you can still burn human flesh.

So they get to live tax-free, right? Right??

Why have it on a Tuesday? Why not on a weekend so more people aren't at work?

Oh, yeah, that's why.

Did you mean Switzerland?

Isn't it more fun and whimsical to imagine something else though? That's the great thing about fiction: it can be whatever you want it to be.

Then men are no different.

Here's the rest:

Current year - year tree was planted = age of tree

I'm going to assume a lab report is more accurate than its summary.

Wdym? There's a road that goes right over the border to Sudzha.

Y'all actually need to read the article before commenting:

One of the major initial concerns—the wastewater’s mercury content—stems from what experts believe may be egregious typos within SpaceX’s records. Lab reports indicate polluted waters contained 0.113 μg/L of mercury, while subsequent summaries appear to misplace the decimal point to show 113 μg/L. If the former measurement is accurate, then Starship’s wastewater contains roughly 1/17th the legal mercury limit.

SpaceX has done some shady shit regarding their environmental practices, but this claim about mercury just ain't it. Some of the comments further down go into more detail.
