  • 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.



  • 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.


  • So,

    1. Fuck Nazis

    2. Not defending a Nazi but let me give a little more context on the guns they found:

    2a. Everything found in the car is pretty fucky. I highly doubt he actually had a Fully auto M4 rifle, it’s probably just some variant of AR-15,but if it is a fully auto rifle, dude is extra fucked and could be looking at a 20yr prison sentence just for that. Ruger pistol could be anything, but is probably your typical handgun especially if he had 3 mags.

    2b. The firearms at home are a mix. A Glock pistol is a Glock pistol, 9mm is no small caliber. The Smith and Wesson MP-15 rifle and Walther Pistol Model P22 sound/look scary (the MP-15 is even modeled after the AR-15), but these both shoot .22lr which is more of a sporting/target practice round. Here is a picture for comparison, the larger round on the right is .223 or 5.56 which is what the “m4a1” they found would shoot. Of course, these are still firearms and are still lethal, but it’s kind of like the difference between a box cutter and a k-bar: both are deadly, but one is deadlier than the other. The Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works 12-gauge shotgun is probably your typical hunting shotgun. Shotguns have fallen out of favor with the military/ law enforcement as they aren’t as effective as rifles, but they are still used for hunting/sport shooting.

    All of this to say: of the 6 guns they found he has only 3 of them were the spooky/scary assault type. This guy (personally) wasn’t trying to arm a small militia and is an even greater idiot because all of those guns/ammo/accessories he owned probably cost a couple thousand dollars and he just threw that all away.

    He is a Nazi though, so he was already fucking stupid to begin with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
