          All the fires caused by these giant convex lenses won’t be much good for the amount of carbon in the atmosphere though.

        IPA has a freezing point of -128F/-89C. Those bad boys in some sort of stainless steel insert = a fucking coooold drink

        Or you use them in a cooler, where everything is sealed anyway and your drinks will get cold super quick + it’ll clean off the cans too

      The ice created has an index of refraction of 1 and extremely low surface reflectivity. It is almost impossible to see and can appear anywhere within 5 meters of you.
