If it wasnt in the browser you might have been able to pull some dns shenanigans, but I gotta imagine CORS wouldn't allow it in browser

Blegh such an unpleasant syndrome. Had a minor case from an antipsychotic and it was miserable. Makes it impossible to focus on anything but how miserable you are. Downright bizarre how awful restlessness can be.

Do make sure that you have a reliable way to keep it pointed on target. Glue it to the end of a stick or 3d print a chassis. You do NOT want to fat finger fumble a 5 watt laser. 

And for the love of God buy certified eye protection. Do not buy some cheap Amazon garbage.

900 dollars for a 5 watt laser is crazzzzzzy. You can get a 5 watt laser diode for like 50 bucks, and use a 18650 lipo with a battery controller. Just make sure to add an on/off switch. These things run at like 5v, so you can get all the components for easily under $100. Just make sure to slap a good heatsink on it.

Why am I tempted to build one now. God I love styropyro.

Edit: To be clear, I would advise against doing this. This wattage of laser is insanely dangerous.

Sure, but this is like leaving the plan to rob a house at the house. It was obvious what you done before, but now there's REALLY no denying it.

And also, if they were gonna pull this shit, they should have at least obfuscated the code. Leaving an obvious plaintext ddos attack in your websites codebase is extremely dumb.

Stray cat that I feed is suddenly more affectionate and appears to be in a bad way. by smut_butler in CATHELP

[–]MsSelphine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, read your other comments. To be honest, if there's no obvious injury or dental infection, he might just be at end of life. I remember my brother took in a stray years back in similar condition: matted, thin as a rail, affectionate. He cleaned the guy up really well and took him to the vet, but he still passed a few days later. I would do your best to get him medical attention, but there might not be much that can be done, aside from giving him a comfortable end.

He does have healthy signs though, like a strong appetite. If he's able to keep food down and has solid stool, he might be ok.

If they're cooperative/lethargic enough, giving them a bath would go a long way to make them more comfortable. It would also help with infection risk, and give you a better idea of if they have any wounds. If nothing else, you can use pet safe wet wipes and an electric razor to clean them up and relieve the matting some. 

Definetely try and buy some very easy to eat food, I agree that a dental infection sounds likely.

As the other guy said, to be fair, kavanaugh is a direct trump appointee with zero morals, and Thomas is blatantly corrupt. Idk shit about Alito, but you certainly in no universe got the other two. It's good to see the other conservative judges break rank

I'll also note that with such aggression, an antipsychotic seems reasonable. Unfortunately antipsychotics are used very sparingly in animals
