Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: Guess I need a green laser light. That mounts to a 365 BB gun Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: Originally Posted By MaxxII: Canadian geese are a problem in our area. One local condo complex has a nice lake and attractive green spaces and has not done anything to discourage geese from nesting around the lake for the past 20 years. Shockingly, there is a sizable population of aggressive geese that are attacking the residents trying to enjoy the lake and side walks around it. They have hired a guy to come chase them out and I saw him using a green visible laser at night to point on the ground near them. They Freaked Right The Fuck Out. He stated he believes the light resembles a predator's eyes at night and that it triggers a fight/flight response. He does not point the laser at the geese, but rather on the ground near them. I found that to be an interesting response. Might give it a whirl? Guess I need a green laser light. That mounts to a 365 BB gun Based on their reaction, (racing amok squawking their ass was on fire and their head was catching - right into the street) you probably don't need the BB gun. Just good timing and oncoming traffic. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: How strong is your laser? Could it engrave a design into plastic? Plastic covers a lot of materials. There are engravable / cuttable acrylics. There are plastics that release bad stuff when you laser them. One has to be very careful here. Kydex, for example, contains PVC, which releases Chlorine gas when cut with a laser. Even if your venting is good and you don't expose yourself to it, it will trash your laser in short order. |

Gotta have priorities straight though. 1. Take care of family (your network takes care of you when all else falls away) 2. Take care of work (gotta pay the bills, or you can't do much of anything) 3. All the other stuff (volunteer organizations, plotting against the government, aggravating site staff etc.) As you see, we rank above all else. |
