I know it's officially meant for automation per articles of incorporation, but my dad is retiring soon and I can't really find a "proper" job (full time, permanent, standard hours, decent pay, good co-workers, etc). However, there's nothing legally prohibiting me from engaging in other business as long as it's related to tech, with the exception of game development for some reason. Because if I'm gonna advertise myself and offer tech services via NextDoor and other apps, might as well protect myself legally and give myself more credibility while I'm at it.

A KEI car, pronounced like “kay”, is a vehicle category in Japan for autos that are at most ~11 feet (340 cm) long, ~4.9 feet (150 cm) wide, and ~6.6 feet (200 cm) tall.

Due to their small size, KEI cars don’t meet current US safety standards, and changes to the vehicles and the regulations would be needed. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told CNBC that KEI cars are “probably not” for anyone who wants to drive on a freeway, but “if there’s a market for those vehicles, I want to give our manufacturers the opportunity to build those cars.”

Would you buy a KEI car?

Please vote in the poll.

I'm curious to how what you'd like your own hen night to look like! Please also explain in the comments: What’s your group of friends like? Would they let you do wild things? And did you really answer your wish, or are moral standards holding you back? Also, would it be different for you if you were attending someone else's bachelorette party?

Guys: for the poll, just answer how far you'd want your own girl to go.

What’s Killing Marriage—Unmarriageable Men Or Liberal Women? - ifstudies.org/.../whats-killing-marriage-unmarriageable-men-or-liberal-women

Leave men out of this. Men have lowered their standards for decades just to please women, and it still has not been enough.

Men went from marrying virgins to marrying non-virgins, single mothers, only fans strippers, and prostitutes.

Men went from writing love letters to now paying for vacations and eating at expensive restaurants before she even considers giving you a chance.

Men went from marrying women who could cook and clean to marrying lazy women.

Men went from buying flowers occasionally to now sponsoring women through school, buying them houses, cars, and expensive things just to prove romance.

Men went from traditional marriages to now having expensive weddings because it will make her happy even though its a waste of money.

Men went from standing to propose to now kneeling to propose to someone who will become your lifelong responsibility and a liability and take his money, kids and properties.

Men went from marrying fit women to now marrying fat and lazy women

Men have tried for women. Blame women for killing marriages. Leave us out of this. - x.com/cr7godbrand/status/1995518226797580519?s=46

Everybody knows about drones and probably knows about Lasers being the great hope in combating them. Every country is working on them. The pic is off an Australian offering.

This little beauty comes stock standard with a 100 KW laser but can be optioned up to 150 KW. It is rated at 20 drones per minute but could be 30 with the 150KW option. It's range is 3 KM for a drone kill but can dazzle sensors at 8KM

I was listening to a podcast which suggested China would probably use paratroopers initially on Taiwan then use amphibious landings.

It is an obvious thought to think why not laser paratroopers as they float down? Below this laser is a flat plain. Why not pick off enemy paratroopers on the plain as well?

According to Google a 10 KW laser can kill a person and fully option this bad boy is 15 times higher. It probably doesn't pro rata but that could be 15x30 = 450 soldiers per minute. Useful.

Also according to Google, 5 mW permanently blinds people. 5mW/150KW = 30 micro seconds per shot. Your ability to disable enemy troops is only limited by how fast you can point the laser at the paratroopers eyes because it would blind them very quickly.

The key point is a purely defensive drone laser could be an extremely good offensive weapon.

I imagine if a laser is to kill an enemy combatant it will have to burn a hole into the heart, lung or brain. That could hurt. To blind probably hurts less but it leaves the enemy combatant permanently incapacitated.

I'm interested on what people think the ethics of Direct Energy Weapons fire on people are. I think if it can be done it will be done especially when it is an existential threat.

What do people think the ethics are? Multi choice can't cover it. So put it in the comments.
