  • I'm not sure why you are getting down votes.

    The reasons fur the demand sick, but you are correct, demand is fast outstripping supply..... Price rises are inevitable.

    Engineer builds AI laser defense system that wiped out every mosquito in his home

  • The way to eliminate the risk is a lot more complex tracking wise but worth it for the risk reduction.

    Effectively using spread focus tracking; multiple lower powered lasers provide the power to destroy the mosquito but no single laser has enough energy to damage your eye.

    It would require extremely accurate positioning and pointing of the lasers and most likely two cameras for the tracking to get accurate distance to target. I thought of this years ago...but never really cared enough, I live in an area with no mosquito issues.

  • On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?

    Jump

  • Not TV, but I've told people to skip the first two books in the Discworld series, Sir Terry doesn't really get into his stride till a little later, but book three is where his talent starts to shine.

  • They are spreading seeds.... That is the point of the berries.

    Nothing eats the plant.

    Even goats, which famously will eat blackberry, will eat anything else first.

  • Blackberry is evil.

    If it is not native to your country don't plant it! Nothing eats it, grows extremely quickly and is very hard to get rid of.

  • no no no; since you are using zsh you will need to use ragedit not regedit.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • NZ:

    Doctor visit is fairly expensive, but very dependant on whichever government we have in. Between $0-45 per visit, kids are always free up to 18 years old. Kids meds are free.

    ER is free, any meds prescribed from a hospital are free.

    Dentistry is free up to 18 years old, excessively expensive after that.

    Generally injuries are covered by ACC, so specialists related to an injury are also mostly covered.

    I spent 28 days in hospital 3 years ago, including helicopter transfer on day 1 and two weeks later ambulance ride to a bigger hospital. Got surgery on my lung and various other procedures. Total cost $0.
