Invocations (dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/DIY-lights-from-2-liter-soda-bottles-with-NO-electricity) cannot be called by ChaosEngine because ChaosEngine is not privileged - sorry.

They're not actually solar powered lights, at least, not in the sense that we think of them. They're more like light tubes than actual lights.

Um, but this is not a temporary structure. So what if it takes only a day to "build" if you end up not wanting it there in a month... Disaster areas do not stay as such.

I love the idea though. I wonder if you can DIY with the right canvas and concrete. If they're selling it ready to go for under $5k, I can see it being very useful. Even better if you can build it yourself for under $0.5k.

So you're saying that banning all firearms in the USA will decrease the murder rate?
You'll still have a huge black market firearms (which are easy to make from tools from Harbor Freight in your Garage), see Assault Shovel:

Also 2 of the biggest homicides in the USA were done with no guns at all, see Timothy McVay and Andrew Kehoe.

I'm not a gun advocate at all, but just banning firearms won't "fix" the problem of rampage killers or lower the homicide rate.

Buy one? Don't be so lazy.
