Meteorologists with fricking lasers on their heads! Is that too much to ask?

Triggering rain with lasers does sound promising, however, does there need to be a certain water content in the clouds before hand for it to be meaningful? Cool tech though.

Scientists think they can control weather with lasers

Here we go again,.. scientists and their "thinking".

Boy, that science sure does THINK quite a bit, but, knows very little,...

According to Back to the Future, we are only one year away from weather control.

Sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately the idea incorporates humans into the methodology which means it'll be absolutely shitty in practice.

And flying cars, hoverboards, and Mr Fusion. I don't think I'll hold my breath on any of those.

Screw crawling or walking, I want flying cars.

Have you seen the average driver? The last thing I want is for some moron texting to not only crash their car, but to then plummet to the ground.

Let's see it in action before we consider this practical in any way.

The hoverboards are in development and Tony Hawk even tried out one.

Because, lace ups are far better than loafers.
