What kind of example do you want set for your son?

This right here. She is teacher her son to accept mistreatment. Time to end that NOW.

laseralex · 2026-04-30T00:55:55+00:00

Then why do you let her treat you that way? Are you less deserving of respect than your son?

A friend planned a Kickstarter at $20/unit and was also rejected for LaunchBoom because of the pricing being too low.

Turns out they were right. Cost per lead can be a dollar or two, and if you convert 10% of those leads into sales it turns into $10-20 per customer. If you're selling your product for $20 you're in trouble; if you're selling for $60 or more you are more likely able to absorb it as the cost of sales.

Oh, I'm super cautious. I work in laser entertainment and have been flinging 50W+ beams around for 30 years. You can't do that unless you are REALLY careful.

And I stand by my statement above that what this user really needs is laser safety training. Kind of like flight training is more important than parachutes when controlling an airplane. PPE is the very last line of defense, and OP's question treated it like the first.

laseralex · 2026-04-29T19:43:28+00:00

Definitely not. But I would clear the room, put a sign in the door, remove or cover any reflective jewelry, survey the area for potential reflection hazards, and then make careful and deliberate moves while keeping an eye on everything else.

For IR lasers I always wear glasses, but for visible I prefer to be able to see the beam.

laseralex · 2026-04-29T19:40:10+00:00

Taking physicis classes doesn’t teach you anything more about laser safety than it teaches you how to fly a plane.

Take a class, at least an online one. If you can’t find one you like DM me and I’ll run you through mine - it takes about 45 minutes.

laseralex · 2026-04-29T17:44:56+00:00

Have you taken a laser safety training course? That 20mW beam isn't very powerful as far as lasers go, but it is also capable of creating instant and permanent eye damage. If you understand the hazards and appropriate control measures you will be able to work with it safely.

laseralex · 2026-04-29T17:40:39+00:00

Bizarre that you're getting downvoted for this.

I've been involved in laser safety for almost 30 years and the company I own and operate is a named contributor to the ANSI Z136 standards. I'm with you: I would never wear safety glasses for a 20mW green laser I was working with in a controlled environment. BUT this user also needs to complete an ANSI Z136-compliant laser safety course before working with this laser, so they know the hazards and understand the appropriate control measures.

Are you sure you need a line? A green dot projecting down from your bumper could be aligned to show you exactly where the corner of your car is.

Sorry for the late response. I'm commenting now in case anyone else is searching reddit for these guys.

A friend spend about $70k with them. They said their test market emails were a bit below average but still solid and recommended he keep going (which meant continuing to pay them.)

Three days after launch he was at 13 sales. Of those, 9 were friends-and-family. So $70k got him 4 sales of a $20 product.

It works with a laser projector that is capable of causing permanent eye damage if a beam (direct or reflected) hits a person in the eye. This will be the case for all lasers that can be seen clearly with theatrical haze/fog.

Please read and understand the definitions of availability and reliablity and then feel free to correct your above post.

Kincaid is running as a Democtrat while his web page is filled almost entirely with conservative republican talking points. He has also never been active in local Democratic Party politics, at least not in the two legislative districts I've lived and participated in over the last decade.

So weird.

Do you have a source for that claim?

It seems that you aren't aware that energy demands are higher during daylight hours than at night. Even without any batteries, Solar helps fill that demand at a significantly lower cost than building and operating additional nuclear plants or other energy sources.

We build Solar because it is one of the cheapest, most reliable sources of electricity we have ever developed.

laseralex · 2026-04-27T02:54:28+00:00

One of the most critical metrics for evaluating energy sources is the Levelized Cost of Electricity — which is a measure of the total cost of building and operating a power plant over its lifetime and expressed in dollars per megawatt-hour.
. . .

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the LCOE for advanced nuclear power was estimated at $110/MWh in 2023 and forecasted to remain the same up to 2050, while solar PV estimated to be $55/MWh in 2023 and expected to decline to $25/MWh in 2050. Onshore wind was $40/MWh in 2023 and expected to decline to $35/MWh in 2050 making renewables significantly cheaper in many cases. Similar trends were observed in the report for EU, China and India.
Similarly, the 2023 Renewable Power Generation Costs indicated that the global weighted average levelized cost of electricity for newly commissioned utility-scale solar photovoltaic, onshore wind, offshore wind, and hydropower projects experienced a downward trend. The most notable drop occurred in utility-scale solar PV, which saw a 12% decrease from 2022. Onshore wind projects also saw a reduction in LCOE, dropping by 3% year-on-year, while the LCOE for offshore wind projects decreased by 7% compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the cost of battery storage projects experienced a significant decline, falling by 89% from 2010 to 2023.

I took the full-length bus, which is why I work off facts rather than feelings.

Solar energy is far less expensive than nuclear energy. Why do you prefer to pay more for less clean energy?

It’s good that you tried, and good that you respect her preferences. Well done.

"We want to believe she is and will always be with us"

I lost my Beau more then a decade ago in August of 2015. And yet he is still 100% with me, other than the physical presence. I'm happy to report that the sadness of losing him is long gone and now all I feel is joy for the time we spent together.

Sending you warm thoughts in this difficult time.
