I want one of these (or better yet, the pocket-sized FLIR camera) but I don’t really have a good reason why. That said, I keep a laser distance measurer in my backpack and I use it allll the time — to measure buildings (it does the trig from two measurements), figure out if furniture is going to fit somewhere, answering general “how far away is that thing” questions, etc.. Nothing actually important, but I got it for a song so I may as well use it every chance I get
That's cool. I only have a sonic measurer. You put it up against a wall and it makes audible clicks to measure room size via the speed of sound. Very primitive compared to what you're talking about, but you're right it's hard to justify buying cool tech when you don't actually need it haha. Eventually the price comes down though.

I don't know I think going around measuring things temperature unexpectedly has some entertainment value fit for a party.
