You know what's next…banning monster trucks and a 5 year prison sentence for cracking a beer can on your head at the beach in front of real women.
RIP.

Couple furious after police allow gypsies to live in their stolen caravan…told police won’t recover it for fear of being in breach of the travellers’ “human rights”.

Hilarious. Best of luck to them getting civil proceedings going against a bunch of knackers in a caravan.
This is why you're stupid if you obey the law. -

Originally posted by aldra that's interesting actually, I'd expect it to be more efficient to use purpose-built cells…
maybe the extra cost wasn't worth it. or is that just a prototype?
Most lithium batteries are a collection of smaller ones, like your laptop battery if you opened it up would be a bunch of smaller cells. It keeps cost down, as the small cells can be mass produced, it's safer, as if one cell blows out the explosion is smaller, and it's helpful for things like load balancing, as cells lose capacity and tend to charge at different rates.
Tesla have been on about new battery technology, but for now the world seems to run on 18650s. -
2018-07-03 at 4:30 PM UTC in Random ThoughtsTesla just use Panasonic 18650s in their cars, which is odd, as it means a tesla battery is basically a sea of little batteries.

Originally posted by aldra lol, the chinese government's been in the business of making all sorts of weird tech claims lately, I wouldn't put too much stock in it until they actually field the thing.
I know both the US and Russia have been working on laser-based anti missile CIWS systems (Russia deployed one recently but hasn't released any details), but as a man portable weapon? there's no way you could supply enough power to it with lithium cells unless you have a literal truckload of them or you only want to keep the beam on for a single fraction of a second… short of fundamentally reworking the physics behind lasers and/or energy storage.
I remember the US was experimenting with plane-mounted lasers for missile interception in the 90s/2000s and the only way they managed to do it was with half the plane dedicated to a chemical reaction to generate power, and even that was only enough for 1 shot
An 18650 puts out 100 watts easy - as in vape cigarettes.
I don't see any reason you can't put a dozen or two into a gun and use it to drive a 500 watt laser diode.
Only the Chinese would be nuts enough to suggest setting protestors on fire was a rational thing to do.
I heard before that the Chinese are really innovative, they just make stuff, and don't even stop to think if it's a good idea or not.
The idea that the Chinese lack creativity is kinda bunkum.
Here's a 50 watt handheld laser pointer (it'd set your whiteboard on fire tho)

2018-07-02 at 10:10 PM UTC in Free Meth Pipes
Occasional crystal meth smoker Richard Russell ambles up to a church storage garage in a Seattle alley and a recovering drug addict hands him two brand new meth pipes, no questions asked.

One of about two dozen methamphetamine users who received free bubble-ended pipes on a recent afternoon, Russell is a participant in a pioneering but illegal program launched in March that aims to indirectly curb infectious diseases.
“Dude’s got something to smoke but he doesn’t have a pipe, what’s he going to do?” Russell said later as he munched on a sandwich. “Panhandle, steal. Inject.”
The theory behind the handout program is that giving meth pipes to drug users may steer some away from needles, which are far riskier than smoking, especially if the user is sharing with another person infected with HIV or hepatitis C.
