Yes, please (not for cooking burritos though):

We didn’t understand fog could be an impediment to a laser cannon, but it is advisable that you understand.

Here’s video regarding the laser for action:

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe_form = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-form-4bd52ee62501e62e73c527f9c38d6e34-540b2f10232a7’); var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-4bd52ee62501e62e73c527f9c38d6e34-540b2f10232a7’); if ( iframe_form && iframe ) { iframe_form.submit(); iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { ‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’, ‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-4bd52ee62501e62e73c527f9c38d6e34-540b2f10232a7’ }, window.location.protocol + ‘//wpcomwidgets.com’ ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = purpose( age ) { var source = document.createElement( ‘a’ ); origin.href = age.origin; // Verify message origin if ( ‘wpcomwidgets.com’ !== source.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we anticipate if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { instance ‘poll_size:response’: var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width ) iframe.width = ‘100%’; if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( ‘function’ === typeof screen.addEventListener ) { screen.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, untrue ); } else if ( ‘function’ === typeof screen.attachEvent ) { screen.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); } } )();

A reaction to the brand new tool system has been rather good:

We’re uncertain if a war with is Amazon imminent, but yes, we should utilize this laser to attack Amazon’s emerging drone fleet if it previously comes to that.

And it also’s already been noticed that here is the perfect device the eventual war between guy and monster:

Exit question: How rapidly would it be always “degrade and destroy” ISIS?
