As a make-up artiste
gollark: That depends on what you actually mean by "plasma cannon". It seems to pretty much just be a recurring thing in scifi and not some sort of well-defined thing you could actually build.
gollark: I... don't think those actually exist.
gollark: With current technology, you have absolutely no chance of making anything remotely close to a planet-destroying "laser" thing.
gollark: Not presently. It's too big to build.
gollark: How about a laser connected to a computer which only turns it on if you supply bitcoins to a specified address?
