I predict this robot will be abused heavily by drunk college students.
Sorry corporations, robots will be vandalized and disabled before you think you can replace humans with machines.
Same goes for automated cars and trucks. You think the teamsters are going to let self driving trucks take over their jobs in the future? They'll be out in BFE destroying these things. And trust me, the state police aren't going to rush to the aide of an unmanned vehicle in anytime to catch the crooks.
I was going to ask for a source on your "most municipalities... [have] poor quality water", given that it's highly regulated and tested daily from taps.
But then I expanded the rest of your post, and saw that you're a hypochondriac in the same vein as people "allergic" to wifi, and realized it would be pointless.
I wonder how foolish you would look doing a blind taste test.
Long time Dr. Who fan, started with the reboot. Fell in love with the them. Then the rlwrotong started to get preachy with Capaldi's character which is a shame because he's a great actor.
It went downhill really fast. What happened to Dr. Who is exactly what happened to Star Wars. Good story telling thrown to the wayside for whatever social issue pandering du joir Moffett can come up with.
Joke's on them, I have 25ish odd years of classic Dr. Who now to catch up on where the Doctor is a man and the assistant is a cute girl instead of this shark jumping gender reversal nonsense.
I've never heard it used to describe search results.
Generally to me it means that tuff of hair immediately in the front of your face (fringe for you UKers) and of course the act of repeatedly entering and exiting a certain place a subset of Slashdot and 4chan can only imagine.
The EU most likely won't exist in its current form past the 2020s so claims like this are just politicians pandering to non issues when there are much worse problems to address like rising crime and falling birthrates.
Similar to the way politicians in the US pander on issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and trans rights.
This system will be China's undoing. The Chicoms will use this system for all sorts of ends.
Follow the money: if the Chinese elites were confident in the long term viability of China and these experiments why are they sending their hard earned cash abroad - much to the chagrin of the Chicom government?
Between the tariffs, these social engineering experiments, and the Chicoms constant pushing on the Taiwan issue, I expect a major event to occur in the next 2-3 years that will throw their 5, 10,15 year plans out the window.
Expect a war to follow, Xi will lose the mandate of heaven.
Wrong. Lived in Cleveland, Buffalo, and New England. I know real winters. Snow tires trump any vehicle add ons like all wheel drive any day.
I own an all wheel drive jeep and I still put snow tires on each winter. If you're living in a place with snow and you only own tri-seasons (ahem all seasons) you're an idiot.
I find a lot of IT professionals are too honest about their skills and abilities almost to their detriment.
Really, the honest truth is you need to parlay your current job title into a "Director of IT" position and make it look like you were promoted into management.
It may feel like you didn't but the truth is you were. You were making management level IT decisions for SMB that affected things company wide.
I would go back and "edit" your title and responsibilities to reflect that. Make sure you edit those details elsewhere on the internet. It's a shame we have to do this today, but most recruiters and HR weenies are dumb asses. Have old friends be your references for your embellished titles and responsibilities.
IT support was what saved me from an utterly worthless college degree. It was the poshest job on campus and landed me an even cushier job post college.
The work was great and paid well, but that was the problem. It support is such a dead end job. They laid off my team, kept me on for 2 years while I did bullshit project management under my old title, and then laid me off when the project was done. At least I got 2 years of work in Europe as a trade off.
I found after my layoff that I was truly stuck. Idiot recruiters wouldn't look at me unless it was for another support position. The role which was my golden savior post college became my prison.
Ended up taking a paycut and switched into sales. This was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. It took me a year and a half but I'm back at my pay I was making before.
And what I find even more hilarious is the fact I've been getting hit up for pre-sales engineering position which is IT support for sales calls. X_X
Wouldn't be the first time Dish blacked out channels on their service. I remember years ago they did the same for Viacom properties (Nickelodeon, Comedy Central) during contract negotiations way back in 2004.
I frankly don't care. Hollywood needs to learn how to do more with less.
The days of fat media contracts are over and it's obvious the market for entertainment is in a slow decline.
If I'm that desperate for a TV show, I'll just download it off of TPB. At that point no one wins anything.

I spent 5 miserable years living in the cold frozen $hithole that's New England.
I'd rather die than go back. Vermont is only slightly better than Assachusetts.
I'd rather move to Alaska and get paid to live there for life.

You eliminate those big nasty busses, homeless people go somewhere else, and drivers who participate make more money ferrying more people around.
Oh and the state gets a big f*ck you because ballsacremento doesn't understand Unintended consequences for their BS.
It's a win win!

I also have a few zero volume penny stocks back from gambling... Err day trading penny stocks.
I keep them around as a reminder of what results from hubris and greed.
Most of these cyryptocurrencies will end up the same: no bid.
Don't be a bag hodler.

Please tell me how this horrificly over processed fake meat is any better than the soy'd, GMO monstrosities that we already have today?
Vegans need to stop making imitations and make creations of their own. Vegan steak, please. How about a 4 day cured and smoked watermelon?

Last I checked, Grumman was a private company when the 1st lander was made.
Did your social credit score go up defending China's face?

Seeing the shitty me toos that exist out there, I say bring it on. Especially India and Chinese software. Absolute utter crap.
It's not f*cking racism when it's been proven over and over again.

I'd love to see some try and propose a tariff on all tech outsourcing efforts.
Want to hire cheap coders in some trash pit somewhere? 25% tariff.
Want to outsource your US teams to some shared services center in Timbuktu? 40%.
It won't happen, but it's good to watch certain types squirm.
I was under the impression that atolls naturally collapse back into the sea over a period of several hundreds of years.
Ocean level changes not with standing, isn't this part of the natural collapse of land back into the ocean?

If there's one thing the Chinese are known for is cheating and lying. I can guarantee you there's a catch in there.
Or better yet build the town with materials that aren't combustible.
But that would eat into property developers profits. GOD Forbid!

At least they pay six figures plus commission.
The platform is operating as designed. Maybe I want to sellca brand tear gas remover to those interested in socialist, anarchal takeover.
OH these are the correct kind of extremes. My bad, don't worry my karma is good for a beating.

Hey man, enjoy reading the stuff you post. Just a friendly word of advice. You're a pretty professional dude, don't bother feeding the crab bucket.
You'll always end up getting clipped and then ask yourself, "Why am I playing with a crab?"
