A 1w laser will permanently blind you instantly. You can buy/build them very cheaply and easily, but a class 4 laser isn't a toy.

For perspective, the regular red laser pointers from your local store are like 5mW at most.

A 44w laser is probably an IR fiber laser used for tattoo removal or some industrial application. You can get them cheap, but they are not handheld. Also lasers that powerful tend to be pulsed.

Nichia makes 5w+ 445nm diodes that are small enough to fit in a flashlight

Yeah I agree, asserting that all of the countries around the world believe something is pretty stupid, even as a hyperbolic statement.

Is that actually what he's trying to say?

It sounds like he's talking about what Russia thinks they are doing, not the reality of the situation.

Idk what the rest of the context is, and I've never watched Hasan.

There's a big difference between being a safe/competent shooter and being a gunsmith.

3d printing a firearm you're planning to bet your life on is a big ask for someone who isn't already a gun owner.

Also, if you're buying a glock slide and parts kit to put in your plastic gat, you aren't really saving much money.

A glock can be had for nearly $300 on sale sometimes.

I used vim for all of my personal stuff until switching to vscode a few years ago, so an editor inspired by neovim is exciting!

Also,

No Electron. No VimScript. No JavaScript.

Hah! Shots fired, I love it

I had some coworkers a long time ago who swore by jetbrains, but I've never tried it. Maybe I should give it a shot!

I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I'm using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I've always envied the open source version...

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

I recommend using a kernel virtual machine.

KVM comes with the Linux kernel.

If you want to set it up manually, you'll have to look into qemu and virtio.

If you want a more virtualbox-like experience, you can use boxes (also called "gnome boxes"), which gives you a very simple UI for setting up VMs (including windows) with networking/shared drives/hardware pass through/etc.

Distrobox is just a set of shell scripts that controlls Podman under the hood. Not only is it like docker, it literally uses the same container format (ContainerD).

And they used the Naomi (arcade dreamcast) as the starting point for the main board

Do they actually produce as much CO2 as carbon plants? Do you have a source for that claim?

In terms of nuclear waste storage, the IAEA claims 390,000 tonnes were generated between 1954 and 2016, and a third has been recycled.

The US EPA claims the US generated 6,340 million metric tons of CO2, and 25% were for the electric power economic sector.

The nuclear waste is stored on site, but I imagine carbon waste is stored mostly in our atmosphere...

The narrative I have heard is that nuclear energy waste is much more manageable than fossil fuel waste, but if nuclear energy has emissions or scaling problems I'm not aware of, I'd be happy to revise my preconceptions about it.
