In upstate NY, they are called tomato pie.

"But it's my favorite wayyyyya!"

I agree. Forcing someone to die of hunger/thirst is torture. The state should not mandate that people must be tortured to death.

I had an aunt slowly pass for ten days in hospice. What I saw can only be described as torture. I was amazed that her husband and children (adults) had been convinced by the medical people that everything was fine and this was normal and peaceful. Bullshit.

It's funny when backwards thinkers get revealed because they don't understand sarcasm.

Maybe, they really just increased the size of the unit. There will be a limit to that width and it's probably cost. The cost of lasers per foot of width is much higher than spray booms.

Having worked in farming and with cutting lasers, my take is that this could work but in limited applications in relatively small vegetable/fruit crop fields where equipment size is constrained by the landscape.

In 21 days a 1in tall weed is now an 18in tall weed. Speed is incredibly important.

Having dealt with cutting lasers in the past, I can say that maintaining them is a PITA with misalignments, power fluctuations, calibrations, and part replacement. Doing all of that for 30 lasers seems like a huge pain and expensive. Maybe they can resolve some of those issues.

I don't think one of these would survive the night running 24/7 by itself. Never underestimate the destruction of teenagers in rural areas with absolutely nothing to do.

We did that and grilled it one year. It was quite good. That or Alton Brown's recipe are the best ways I've had it.

Alton Brown has the best roasted turkey recipe. It's also faster than old fashioned methods. https://youtu.be/VxbBBwj0-mA

If the outside temp is cold enough <40F (but not too cold) you can put it outside in the cooler, so you don't have to change the ice. I've used a 5 gal bucket out on my porch before instead of a cooler.
