The problem with a single laser is, that, in order to achieve bigger working widths, it would have to be able to rotate very accurately, very fast and not shoot your crops at the same time. Especially the latter makes it impossible to use a single one.

You also dont have to “burn” the weeds. It is enough to destroy certain cells to stop them from growing.

The problem is not that you need to run a single laser, but multiple lasers in order to have some form of usable working width. Then you also need to power the cooling and the computer for the plant detection. If you build some form of small scale robot it should work with solar, but any machine that is designed to get the job done relatively quick probably won’t work.

The Problem is, that these machines are hella expensive. I heard about costs of about 1.00.000€ + support. The one that I saw also has a newer version, that is probably even more expensive. Additionally you can not even closely match the efficency of herbicides, since equipment designed to apply herbicides has a working range of up to 40m and you can drive with much higher speeds.

So even tho laser looks like a promising solution they are not even anywhere close to being able to replace pesticides. There are other options for mechanically reducing weeds that may not match the efficiency, but are economically far more viable.

Its quite simple. They make quite a lot of fun and also because they give you the possibility to escape the dystopian world we live in.

Wrong community?

Currently it has 6 down votes…

Absolutely. Drones are a fucking nightmare. They are cheap as hell, they can be made in big quantities and developing them is quite easy, since you can 3d print a lot of the parts.

The real strength of drones is, that you can send them in swarms. If you send, as example, 100 drones on the way to a refinery it does not really matter if you shoot down 50,because 50 drones still do a shit ton of damage.

Sadly The EU doesn’t has the balls to kick this fuckers out of the EU. This is literally the only way to deal with this asshole.

But i thought both were as bad as the other one.

Every single Person killed is one to much.

Germany’s feds better not start a tiktok. :(

Sorry to inform you, but this has already happened. Some police departments have an account and do ultra cringe marketing on there. Than we have our Nazi party AfD spitting bullshit and hatred and then other parties who also do some cringe shit.

We can also ban the far right AfD. The law allows it and almost everyone who knows enough about the German law supports it saying that it has good chances to be successful, but still nothing happens. It has been over one year since we got probably the biggest protests since the reunification of Germany, they happened after reports of members of the AfD being part of a meeting where they planned mass deportations, and no political party gave a damn about it.

I will look into the approval rates and the mentioned study(I think I found which one you meant) later this day. However in terms of elections its quite easy.

China has a one party political system. This means, that there is no opposition. All members that may get elected to any position are picked by the CCP. All elections must adhere to the ruling of the CCP. The ruling of the CCP is part of the Chinese constitution.

This doesn’t sound the slightest like a free democratic election. Also you have to take into Account, that The CCP controls everything, including propaganda. I havent found that much about manipulated elections in china(search engines suck nowadays), but will look into it later too.

That thread is fucking depressing. Glad I blocked that instance. Also the tankies are, as usually, trying to defend the CCP because they have 95% approval rates in their rigged elections, so the people, according to them, support the government, and at the same time stating that the Chinese youth is more progressive and opposes the government actions.

This are some very interesting mental gymnastics.

“I can only remember the names of my first and last born, but some of the others… I can’t recall their names,” Hasahya admitted while sifting through old notebooks that contain details of his children’s births. His wives help him keep track, but even they struggle to keep up with the sheer number.

I would be seriously surprised if he would remember all of them.

Shut the fuck up. This asshole polarised the attack for herself again demanding stronger “security laws”. This means that she again wants to track everything(she is known for demanding this quite regularly). The problem wasn’t lack of information. It was ignoring warnings. The fucking police(?) of Saudi Arabia and a lot of germans warned the German police about this guy and they straight up ignored it.

Is this this “RSS Feed” I keep hearing about?

Musk later doubled down, calling for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s resignation.

This stupid POS doesn’t even know that this already happened a few days ago.
