I understand the Chinese have developed a laser that can instantly carbonize human flesh at a half mile. Perhaps we should wait a month or so, until it shows up on Gearbest or BangGood. Maybe we can get a BLF version with an added 219C or something.
I seriously want one of these to deal with the crows and magpies that go after my fruit trees. I’d love the smell of burning feathers in the morning!
What country are you in? I had no trouble buying my gun. I drove to a local store and walked out with a gun and ammo.
I went to WalMart yesterday and tried to buy High-Fructose Corn Syrup and failed. I can’t even find it anywhere online. It’s in all my food, but the ingredient is harder to buy than a gun!
Sucrose (saccharose) is glucose and fructose, about 50/50.
HFCS is also glucose and fructose, but the balance is variable (hence “high-fructose” vs “regular fructose” ). I forgot how the balance induces glycemic spikes, which are a Bad Thing.
Ah, you are right, thanks, that was a word-choice mistake. I left fructose out of my fructose discussion haha. Fixed.
Yep, softdrinks are my focus, and F55 is the one I wanted to obtain. I wanted to see if I could taste a difference from standard sugar water. And if it tasted sweeter. There’s conflicting info about that online. I wanted to test it myself.
Not to derail the already-moribund discussion about bat-lights, but there are plenty of natural sweeteners that can be used. Eg, erythritol is natural, tastes like sugar, and doesn’t do nasty things to the body. Stevia is good if you like a licorice taste (in coffee it’s like anisette). I like honey in my coffee, when I can get it (got that from Jonathan Kent, ironically enough). Never tried agave syrup, but would if I had the chance.
But I absolutely stay away from NutraPoison and the like. Generally avoid sody-pop except for seltzer, and occasionally ginger-ale (and always cut it 1:1 with water anyway, else it’s just sickly-sweet treacle).
“Not to derail the already-moribund discussion about bat-lights….”
with all the prosthetics for animals, I’m sure bat-lights are way down the wishlist for sonic impaired bats
well-meaning efforts might be better applied toward miniaturized hearing aids
