I was completely unaware this was coming out. I’m curious to see what NMRIH die hards think of it before I buy/download it.

This was a real ad apparently. Snopes Article

Here’s a video of it in action

…is this a canary in the coalmine joke?

Thank You for experiencing this roller coaster so I don’t have to

…is this not just a muffler/silencer for leaf blowers? Good on these kids! This definitely falls under the ‘why didn’t I think of that!’ category for me.

Not excusing drunk driving, but based on the shape of the road I see how this happened. From Google maps, if the driver was coming from blanchett street there is a bend in the road right in front of the building. Here is what it looks like from street view. The driver was probably drunk and/or lost control of the vehicle and went speeding forward into the side of the building.

Drunk at 3pm? Jesus.

They could make more specialized robots, but I imagine the selling point is the versatility. A specialized robot can make food at a fast food restaurant, but can it also deliver food to customers, mop floors, and clean bathrooms? Adding a specialized robot to a kitchen or a factory floor may require you to completely re-design how the floor/room is set up, but adding a humanoid shaped robot would not require any extra setup (well, besides teaching it/programming it).

Spot has been used as a security guard/ inspector at some sites. Going up stairs/ladders would be extremely difficult for something on wheels/treads, but for a robot that works like a human it could be easy.

Wait till you see his van.

This is awesome, thank you!

I always love recap threads like this. It’s an easy way for me to catch up the next day and make sure I didn’t miss anything.

Radar Intercept Officer

The guy who sits in the back seat of the F14 and operates the radio and radar.

I’d say this is less on the ability of Russian assassin’s and more on this guy for reaching out to his girlfriend back in Russia.

In Spain, Mr. Kuzminov lived “an indiscreet life,” the senior Guardia Civil official said. He went to bars popular with Russian and Ukrainian clientele, burning through the money he had received from the Ukrainian state. He drove around Villajoyosa in a black Mercedes S-Class.

Exactly how the killers found him has not been established, though two senior Ukrainian officials said he had reached out to a former girlfriend, still in Russia, and invited her to come see him in Spain.

“This was a grave mistake,” one of the officials said.

Huh, looks like it’s up to 4.

Just like Pal Battalions, we didn’t realize how bad of an idea this was until after WW1

A classic

So, the Alaska Airlines door plug incident is more than likely Boeing’s fault(we don’t have the footage or a record of who did the repair because Boeing deleted/lost it…which makes me even more suspicious tbh), but this was a 25yr old 737-800 Boeing hasn’t seen in decades. This looks like a united maintenance issue as do all the other united 737 issues.

Now, don’t get me wrong, Boeing definitely has a plethora of issues going on, but I think the FAA might want to also look into United’s maintenance department as well cause they’re also having a plethora of issues.

I’m really disappointed on this one. The original star wars battlefront and battlefront 2 were some of my favorite games and I was looking for an excuse to go back and play the campaign, but with upgraded graphics

I love that this comic about Octopi/Squids is posted by Flying Squid
