So the US Navy has functional laser weapons. See here.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

OK, this sounds a bit more practicable than creating Dikote(TM) out of Whiskey.
How hard is it to make the stuff they hit with Lazors to make Diamonds?

Welcome, to IronHell.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.
Amorphous carbon? Not sure if this is what they use, but amorphous carbon powder isn't expensive.Stahlseele wrote:OK, this sounds a bit more practicable than creating Dikote(TM) out of Whiskey.

Nah, De Beers'll just make the distinction between synthetic and natural diamonds. Sounds like it'll be easy to spot these diamonds--they'll have a little piece of sapphire in them, or something.Shrapnel wrote:Shit, now the diamond industry is going to send assassins after those poor researchers...
De Beers already knows how to deal with this. Diamonds are a lot fucking more common than they want people to know. 95% of the world's diamonds pass through them on the way to market, and they only release a few of them to sell compared to what's been mined.
My geology professors gave us a rundown on De Beers. Everytime someone finds a new diamond mine, De Beers tries to buy them out. If the owners don't sell, they don't have much chance of finding gemcutters or dealers who will work with them, because they don't want to piss off De Beers.
They're an honest-to-God international conspiracy that halted itself a step short of a total 100% monopoly to keep any heat off. They manage to be a little gracious in their victory, they could be a lot more evil, but they do play extremely hard and dictate the rules of the game.

I have wanted this for years. (but have been too lazy to build it myself).
I also want to get a custom paint job to turn my car into a vibrant green and have a custom-molded cthulhu face of same color mounted over the grill (maybe put webbed wings over the posteriors of side mirrors)... but that's not safety or new tech related, that's just good taste.
Autonomous only tho. But, I'm baffled as to why it isn't the standard for normal cars. Road rage would probably go down tremendously if we could communicate better from cars. I'm not too proud to put up an "Sorry, I fucked up" when I accidentally cut someone off. Or a "Thanks" for when someone is courteous.Color-coded lights (red, blue, green) might let proximate humans know of the vehicle’s intent to start, stop, or stay in place. Sauron-like light-eye strips may track their movement, alerting them to the vehicle’s surveillant awareness of their presence. And a Holzer-esque text panel could flash directional messages like “After You,” “Please Wait,” and “Deviants Are Sacrificed to Ensure Group Solidarity.”

Kind of makes me think about how I've wanted a smart windshield that displays GPS directions like the driving directions in Saints Row ever since I first played SR3-
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
