Did you mention that your Alsatian in Africa was better than therapists? They get to you because one can love pets unconditionally, and they're unlimited sponges for love - you end up loving certain people less and less every time they p*ss you off, till you completely hate that person... whereas say if a dog spoils a carpet, it's instantly forgiven.
You mentioned meditation too in a post somewhere... Meditation can trigger mental illness in approx 1 in 10, about the same as weed. A mate of mine got sectioned a few years ago by doing both. I think it was meditation (his definition fof it) which tipped him over the edge, because he's always been a stable stoner.

I vaguely remember some stuff about surface wave conductance, refraction and reflection as we studied Maxwell's equations in my second year at uni. Essentially, to deflect your laser beam, the missile's surface needs to be coated with a layer of highly conductive material like copper or silver and a layer of dielectric material like quartz. Also, there would be a thin layer of plasma around the missile head. The progress in laser mirrors should parallel the progress in energy of your lasers so lasers against missiles may be an unwinnable race.
Isn't success is dependant on laser power? A warhead reflecting enough of some form of sufficiently powerful laser energy could heat plasma temporarily to a temperatures approaching 10ˆ9 kelvins, to melt/deform alter the missiles trajectory, or cause it's components to malfunction. A gigantic defensive gridded wall of drones carrying aerial mines and a multitude of sensors, would be my suggestion to the top brass, if they can be deployed fast, high and close enough together... but the Russians could make extremely skinny stealth hypersonic nuclear missiles to slip through the net...
that is possible if the incidental energy is absorbed by the target.Isn't success is dependant on laser power?

The civilised way to deal with this problem is to remove the cause, not simply kowtow to dictators.
it's not the same type of application. The solar sail is aimed at collecting the maximum amount of photons, the beam hits it constantly at a perpendicular angle whereas your laser is aimed fleetingly (about 1-2 seconds) more or less at the nose of a bullet coming at it at 4-10 times the speed of sound. It's not like a photon torpedo which delivers its payload once inside the target. The nose is very capable of and will deflect and spread the incoming beam, the amount of absorption won't be enough to heat it, penetrate and destroy it.Beaming rockets into space
Space launches have evoked the same image for decades: bright orange flames exploding beneath a rocket as it lifts, hovers and takes off into the sky. But an alternative propulsion system proposed by some researchers could change that vision.phys.org
How does that balance against the long term risks of departing and not being supported by the successful EU and eventually drowning due to lack of support?
Then no doubt he into his kitchen to knock up a couple of molotov cocktails to drop down from the winding gear on the roof of the building
Somehow, despite its ironic etymology, it sounds odd to be using Molotov cocktails against Russians.Then no doubt he into his kitchen to knock up a couple of molotov cocktails to drop down from the winding gear on the roof of the building
That would help them to "Go up" in a manner of speaking
No... Not after 26th. February. That was D day. Once Russian kit crossed into independent territory to impose their will by force of arms, they forfeited that opportunity. That is the point on which everyone else on this site disagrees with you. Self defense is a human right. Now I have no knowledge of Ukrainian military capabilities, and so I assumed they would be just rolled over .That the comments being made on 26 th were just senseless bravo, . I was wrong.
