Your link does not say what you claim it says. It says the Soviets were trying to develop " radio frequency weapon that could debilitate troops’ central nervous systems and an electromagnetic pulse weapon that could confuse radars, radios and missile guidance systems." Neither of which is a laser, and neither of which shows any evidence of actually having been developed to a working prototype, much less deployed. In fact, it says "there was no evidence that the Soviets had got to the production stage for the weapons."
It says that the British developed a laser system to "dazzle low-flying Argentine pilots attacking ships," which is not even remotely the same thing as causing the physical destruction of an aircraft. In short, their goal was to blind pilots, not damage planes.
The overwhelming majority of business in California (and everywhere else) are family owned, and the overwhelming majority of workers are employed at family owned businesses.
My employer is family owned. And we have state regulators come in and dig through our trash cans looking for burnt out light bulbs.
So no, California hates business. All business, but especially profitable business.
They definitely don't need a sticker. Think about the dozens of child & elderly abuse cases you've seen where people take footage of a caretaker straight to the media.
That they don't get blowback from it doesn't mean it's legal. Most state are single party consent, so it doesn't matter. Even when it's not, many states have "justification laws" that say you can do something illegal to prevent or stop something more illegal. It's OK to commit a civil offense (recording without permission) to catch a criminal. And in all cases, the criminal won't get any sympathy.
The homeowner who bought such a device with an understanding the recordings won't be sold is a very different situation, though. But like I said, the contract no doubt covers it. It's not "without permission" if you give permission.
The same as a security system with audio. If you're in someone else's house, you have no expectation of privacy. At most, they might have to put a sticker by the front door telling you about the recording devices.
How it affects the homeowner's rights, however, is another question. I suspect the contract you agree to when you activate the device covers it, though.
A) PSI means "per square inch." A tube big enough to put a train inside has a lot of square inches.
B), and more important, it doesn't matter if it really is dangerous to the average nimrod, it sounds scary, and there are those with a vested financial interest in spreading hysteria about it. Hence, the decades of lawsuits. (And given that most judges are nimrods, too, as are most jurors, it's not at all a given that the lawsuits will fail.)
Go ahead, Audi's saying, read your newspaper or just zone out while traffic creeps along.
Of course, this is illegal in many states in the US. Probably elsewhere, too.
But the step by step approach is far, far better than Tesla's, which is apparently to design a car that will get you out of bed without waking you up, shower and shave you, drive you to work, make you lunch from scratch, and delivery your wife's baby along the way, all at once, and it'll be ready last week.
It isn't infeasible because it's unsafe, it's infeasible because it'll cost more than air travel to operate, and more than even the government will spend to build, and take decades of lawsuits to get the rights.
Nobody wants a giant implosion bomb running anywhere near their property.
I'll bet you wonder why you've never, ever, ever been allowed to touch an actual booby without having to make bail afterwards, too. But at least you accept that you never, ever, ever will.
Well, technically speaking, if they actually were Microsoft, if you ever put your phone number into anything, anywhere, on your computer, or on any Windows computer on your network, or said it out loud in the presence of your computer, the telemetry that installed as a critical update probably sent it to Microsoft (along with copies of the dick pics you accidentally sent to your grandmother).
Now deduct the cost of his office staff, the far more expensive rent in a medical building, and, most important of all, the cost of his malpractice insurance.
Yeah, plumbing is not for the feint of heart or slow witted. Pipe sizes are - in theory - the inside diameter (tubing sizes are the outside diameter), but when working with pipe and pipe fittings, it is the outside diameter that matters. And the sizes were set many, many years ago, when manufacturing costs were cheap, and stuff was made to last several lifetimes. In short, the wall of the pipe was a hell of a lot thicker then. Even today, you get multiple schedules of pipe, from 40 (which today is sorta standard for quality work) to 80 or even higher - the higher the number, the thicker the wall, the more pressure it can hold. But the outside diameter has to be the same on all sizes. (Copper pipe, of course, has a thinner wall than steel or plastic, and thus has "types" - M, L or K - instead of "schedules", but the principle is the same. Type M is such thin shit you can blow a hole in it by peeing real hard, type K will hold the weight of a mountain.)
And people wonder why plumbers make more than doctors.
Telecom is inherently interstate in nature. This would probably qualify for federal RICO action, which can be filed privately for civil damages (and is much harder to get tossed if you can back up your accusations). And if the feds take it over, it becomes criminal (and whoever filed it originally still gets a large chunk of the now probably much larger judgment).
Note that a privately filed RICO lawsuit does not require the permission or cooperation of any prosecutors (and interference from them can get them into a lot of trouble).

The only thing IQ tests measure is the ability to take IQ tests. The only thing a particular IQ test measures is the ability to take that IQ test.
The cultural biases of IQ tests - all IQ tests - are very well documented, and have been for a century.

It's names after a city in Puerto Rico, which in turn is named after Ponce de Leon.
That too less than five seconds on Google to find out.
"You're a fag" jokes stopped making me laugh when I was ten years old.
A pox on all their houses.
I pay taxes on every gallon of gasoline I buy, which pay for roads bicyclists ride on without contributing a penny to their cost.
We see in others what we see in ourselves. And everywhere you look, you see parasites leaching off of those who work for a living.
Your man bun could use a good shampoo. It'll smell better.
If it law doesn't specify that it applies to bicycles that can use 26" or larger wheels already, it will, soon enough.
Rational asshole is rational.

Because the two sides of the contract are not in an equal position to negotiate.
And because California hates business even more than New York.
If you're that bad a managing your finances, you probably can't get a credit card anyway.
I heard on the radio the other day that Visa is offering $10,000 to any restaurant that goes credit card only.

Given the current trend of burying people with their cell phones, why would that stop you from sending her dick picks?

How about "technically clueless"?
Yeah, it's like they think they're the United States or something.
in the US we don't have to worry about the Kangaroo Problem..
