Serious question (even though it is kind of stupid): You know those tacky Christmas light projectors for lazy people who can't be bothered to put up some good old fashioned string lights?
Well, I own two of them. And I discovered that they look downright magical pointed up into the sparse canopy of my tall pine trees. Now, I also live near an airport. Some beams will just point off into the sky. Do you suppose there would be any issues with it from the FAA? I wouldn't want to be creating a hazard. But they really do look lovely aimed up into the trees.

I doubt it's strong enough to cause trouble with planes.

THAT'S what I wanted to hear. Because I really want to try this.

I haven't drank in over a year or two. Was wondering: I bought a 12-pack of Dos Equis for my brother-in-law a week ago. It's sitting in my fridge until Christmas. Will it be skunky by the time I give it to him?

No. It'll be fine. It has a shelf life of at least three to six months.

If they could ever interfere with planes they probably couldn't be manufactured legally in the first place. Although the name of the product makes me think it's probably really made to secretly signal something to the RNC.

Will it be skunky by the time I give it to him? I have no idea how fast beer, um, spoils. In fact I didn't realize it did. Now I'm wondering about those sixers of Violin Monster I was going to serve at my next get-together at the house... |

Among the fancy craft-brew crowd I used to run with there was actually a system for cellaring beers and aging them. I just gave away my last bottle of Firestone-Walker Stickee Monkee 2013, for example. Friend I gave it to offered to share it back with me, so I had half the bottle --tasted fine.
Absolutely no idea how this would translate into standard big-brewery-inna-can beer. I'm assuming that's been processed and pasteurized to the point where it's basically inert and there's no more yeast/sugar digestion to be had...

Try taking a dime-store laser pointer down to the nearest airport and aiming it at a few airliner cockpits. Police will be on your ass like white on rice. That said, I don't think the Xmas light spinners use lasers. Too easy to blind somebody if they did. Go for it, Kobbers :) |

Seems like around 5-10 years ago there were a slew of cases involving some sort of legal green laser thingees that idiots were pointing into plane cockpits. I don't know why the fact they were green stuck with me, but I think that's right. Sorry. Long day at work leads to posts like this. Brane no thinkee time nao.  |

Brane no thinkee time nao. :nocomment: For reasons I am too tired to remember, it's possible to build up a higher-wattage beam with the green ones. Something about wavelengths and the chemicals involved. Red laser is pretty heinous, too, however, at short range. You don't want to blind the guy who's steering the hundred-ton flying thingy packed full of flammable fuel... |

Yes. Though not to me. Living near an international airport, an air national guard base and an air force base, you get to read about MANY stupid local children and frat boys. |

My ex-wife's step-sister's husband went to jail for shining lasers at airplanes, true story despite the many times removed from me.

I was actually posed this question the other day at work:
Which of the salsas is the least hot (amongst a trio of choices ranging from "mild", "medium", and "hot"). No wonder we have this sitting President.

Pensacola, Florida! I thought everybody was aware of our fair city. I mean, Atlantic Rim was filmed down here. That put us on the map.

So to return to your original question: the answer is "yes". |

I went a KFC one time, the lady asked the guy in front of me, "Do you want regular or extra crispy?" To which he replied, "What's the difference? |
