Some might have sort of a resurrection source, but in hell?
I didn't yet, but even normal acetylene-oxygen solutions are able to get carried. Lightweight gas cartridges and off it goes.
They're used to cut even underwater, as they gain the ability to burn without air (therefore the oxygen tank).
Things often have to get cut that fast, plasma cutter is portable as well. Only needs an outlet or a mobile energy station which can output around 3600 Watt, then it cuts through any electrically conductive metal up to around a centimeter in thickness.
It's not only about the cutting speed, if you take an angle grinder or saw and try to cut metals, there are some which are quite hard and destroy mechanically abrasive cutting solutions. As such you save on mechanical wear-down by using a plasma or flame. And it doesn't result in much dirt as there are almost no sharp remains falling to earth. Means I can cut metal in the open garden area without my dog or me walking into sharp pieces afterwards.
But I guess that's too boring for this forum.
Oh, that wasn't meant as "dying" in human terms. More like "vanishing" without remains.

No, why should I threaten you? Not at all. I've never threatened anyone in this forum.
It's a concept of role play which I participated quite often in the past (but less D&D than open RP with partly different rulesets).
If as example there was a fight, damages would occur to almost anyone. As such there were "healers" of varying concepts and medicine, boosting abilities, all to keep the recovery short.
If someone got beheaded that was it for him most of the time - in this roleplay actively played right then, not forever - as they "died" surely enough. But there were possibilities to prevent this. Some races had even immunity to "cuts" as in sharp weapons due to scales or armor.
Oh, and a floofy floof appeared! ? ?
Whaaaat?

As long as someone is not actually attacking me or those I care for physically (i.e. in real life), I'm absolutely balanced and peaceful.
Some times sarcastic, tho - but not in terms of threatening people.
I'm sorry if that read like a threatening - never would do something like that.

You're fine - I should've written it differently to prevent misunderstandings.
But I'm very happy we're able to communicate things in more factual ways than some other threads tend to do.

Have Germany managed to hinder the spread of spruce bark beetle?

You're a bit sarcastic, right?
Of the Borkenkäfer? Not sure, there were quite big areas destroyed in the Harz by it, that began some years ago.
There's always the question: what's better - accepting the invasion and trying to counter it by non-chemical or at least non-invasive / damaging ways in relation to other insects or even bigger animals? Or to go full out with chemical warfare, but this will as well result in unfortunate losses regarding different wildlife / insects over dozens of years.
And in relation to the bark beetle I am not sure if there are "individually" aiming insecticides available & well-working.
There are tree species existing which could grow quite quickly (compared to tree growing, not human growing - will still take 30+ years) and are resisting against the bark beetle in natural ways, but not all of them are a good choice and compatible with the ground structure.
I've had to kill a bark tree myself a few months ago, which lost all twigs and they fell onto one of my buildings roofs punching holes in it. But in this case it was "just" around 30% of it's matter which a fungus infected and destroyed, not insect related.
Resulted in some fire wood for the end of this year, tho. ?

No chemical warfare needed, really.
Bark beetle traps exist and each can catch millions.
Require a lot of boots on the ground work, but best for the ecosystem as a whole to deal with them that way, even if it is a more expensive way to "fight" them.
In Germany about 70 different species exist that both pray on the beetles and are parasites that only attach to the bark beetles.
But this is a slow way that can't really deal with mass outbreaks of beetle swarms. Best used in local outbreaks where "let nature take it's course" is the modus operandi.
Not dealing with it at all is, as we can see, a catastrophe to the forest industry and a very big problem if the EU intends to go full fossil free in the energy and fuel sectors.

That's the reason why I love science. Every day there are some small, but positive news by knowledgeable people which one can embed into the own lifestyle.
Thank you, very interesting approach. I'll have to check in relation to those traps how they work and which regions use them.

Bark beetle traps have been tested for years in Scandinavia, but deemed too expensive in relation to how large the beetle swarms have been in Scandinavia.
Fight here is clear cutting of the infected areas, if done early the mills can still process the lumber.
@FloofyNewfie , what are you trying to do?

A clean cut forest will destroy room to live for many plants and animals and as well changes the ground structure, nutrients and water household (sun exposure, rain exposure, quick frost and so on) after a few years, while humanity cuts far too many trees and areas down in far too little time, already.
The rat tail of following costs over the next 50+ years is not included into the calculation, unfortunately.. it's just "what to do now?".
As such if the traps work well and are "just" a matter of work time and one-time investment, it's surely one of the best ways to counter invasive species.
Edit: What's up with those images in different threads? Now I have to check.. ?
That's always a problematic factor in relation to how humans think, based on profit and cost optimized procedures.

Systems historically struck by forest fires would benefit from clear cut and regrowth of a new generation. Extra points if the leftovers are burned in a controlled fire after the lumber has been removed.
The mykorrhiza in such places are well adapted to such a large death of trees. Many fire dependent species are on the endangered list. So win-win.
Young trees binds much more carbon than old trees, so this is also positive from a "reduce the carbon print" point of view.
Traps work very well. In test sites billions of beetles could be collected per km², that is billions not attacking growing spruces nearby, so the traps do have an inpact.

Oh holy matter, now I see what you did in regards of specific games.
I have to say, that is probably one of the most time consuming errors I've ever seen anyone do in a forum.
But respect for being true to your words. Still, the memory faults which could aggravate out of this task are immense.
Here, take this magical thought cleaner and be able to black censor bar all thoughts which might appear.
And surely enough I am not one to interfere with such games, as such no "like" from my side.
