'Researchers have figured out how' is usually followed by 'but it's still too expensive for mass production'.

Quick...what should this man have done?

Speed up to draw the trailer back in line. I've told you guys a dozen times!

Palmanova, a model Renaissance city

Those zig-zag walls allow for every defender to protect the adjacent wall without having to shoot straight down.
^^A7^^

Near ground level wingtip vortices.

 A larger plane doing that can wreck the next landing aircraft.
Until they invented these wingtips which greatly mitigates the problem.

Boston Dynamics' New Robots Now Fight Back

I enjoyed this very much, but you must stick around until the end.

Oops, it was the right film, but the wrong version. That was all faked by using a man in a green suit. The version I wanted ended with the robot chasing the men down the street.

Remember in the 90s to get online you had to murder a robot each time and it would scream and scream until its death powered your internet?

Pulling knives from a gator's head is no way to form a government.

People who learn English as a second language are fucking superheroes. Could you imagine looking at the word "yacht" and not just giving up?

SO MANY QUESTIONS
SO FEW ANSWERS

 ^^C1^^

I bet there were a lot of women on the research team.

 Wait til I get those researchers in one of my poker games. I'll show them what dehumanizing oppression looks like up close and personal.
Does this look oppressive?

Well, yeah, it does, but it keeps you humble. 
^^C2^^


Does the fact that Russia aided the Trump campaign and the Trump's presidency's forgiveness of all of Putin's sins give Republicans pause?
I'm beginning to think the Saudis and the North Koreans gave him money also. As it looks, the Iranians would be smart to toss him some cash.
^^C3^^

Question: Would you just drive under that without hesitation? Not me. I would pull over in the breakdown lane and wait for the wind to die down because I'm not a brave man.
^^C4^^

 But what if I want him to trace my daughter's little hand and make a Thanksgiving turkey?
And I for one would want her to see me do this...

 ^^C5^^

Would you do this?

 
^^C6^^

 
Why did anyone find that necessary?
^^C7^^

Gentlemen, have you ever noticed another man's tie? I haven't. I find the whole concept of neckwear idiotic - a custom that has long outlived its usefulness.  
Remember: "We've always done it that way" just tells me that you have given up on controlling your own damn life.
^^C8^^

If you lose your kid here it's easier just to make a new one.

Far from a fun day at the beach, this would be absolute torture for me. 
^^C9^^

The best intentions...

My wife asked me why I spoke so softly in the house. I said I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening. She laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

PEOPLE NOT LIKE US

But think about it...he only works a few minutes a day, probably makes a decent living and gets to hang out with some interesting people. 
^^D1^^

I had trouble believing that, but her name is Patricia DeMauro and she did it in 2009.

 You can only get away with shit like that if you are very, very attractive. Unattractive people would be escorted out.

 Every year they would bring Mr. Gruff or some such shit into the school in which I was teaching and I've seen them put on their costume. And let me tell you, these are about as miserable men you are likely to see. They loathed having to demean themselves like that so much that I think they were assigned it as punishment.

 Do you remember that rugby team whose plane crashed on the mountain and they had to turn to cannibalism to survive? Well, one of them was being interviewed on TV and the lady stated that it was a soccer team. The guy quickly corrected her with, "We were a rugby team. Had we been soccer players we would have died."
