Apparently the team of scientists at the National Ignition Facility in California have achieved a burning plasma for the first time with their experimental fusion reactor. Unlike most other large scale nuclear fusion experiments like ITER in France, which use magnetic confinement to control the...

Man, wtf. I used to love his movies when I was a kid. :mad: https://globalnews.ca/news/9051412/steven-seagal-video-ukraine-prison-propaganda/

Wow, that is really cool! Unique host and wavelength! Hopefully at some point we can get a group buy on these ones too. :D

I would definitely not recommend doing that. Depending on what country you're in you may also have the Feds bust your door down and fire beanbag rounds into your groin. Seriously though it's not a good idea and be sure to know all your local laws. Where I live any use of lasers over 1mW outdoors...

Weird, looks like Joe Biden tested Covid positive again. :oops: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-tests-positive-covid-paxlovid-rebound-doctor-says-rcna40791

That is awesome! I had one of those when I was around 15. It was my first green laser and first laser period that wasn't a 1mW red keychain. Edit: Just remembered, it was from a company called "Deharpport Trading Company". Doesn't seem to be around anymore. This was around 2003. Those are...

What a waste of public money and time. Spend the money on going after actual criminals? Nah, let's waste it going after already heavily controlled firearms from legal owners and let outlaws and gang members gun each other down...

Joe Biden draws a crowd when he tips off his bike. :ROFLMAO:

Based on what was said by LaserGlow, my understanding is that it's only portable, battery operated lasers that this applies to. Lab lasers, bare diodes, industrial Co2 tubes, etc are not effected.

Thanks for the clarification. I should have worded it a bit more clearly. I'd have to have the host and module shipped completely separately, in different packages. I believe I am okay importing OEM components in completely separate shipments as long as I do the build myself and never...

Count me in for one 30mW PGL-VI 589 and a host. I will have to get mine shipped unassembled though as I am in Canada and I cannot import complete portables over 5mW and not going to take any chance of this getting seized by customs.
