Robots: Now Playing With Your Toys For You

(Submitted by Anonymiss of Nuking Politics [High Praise!])

Something else Basil will no longer have to do for himself – play with his toys:

Mike Dobson and David Gilday built the 3rd robot only with speed in mind, with the brain behind the robot belonging to none other than the Samsung Galaxy S4 which has been tricked out to use an Exynos octa-core processor with four Cortex A15 and four Cortext A7 processors. These control eight Lego Mindstorm actuators.

Gilday said “we knew Cubestormer 3 had the potential to beat the existing record but with the robot performing physical operations quicker than the human eye can see there’s always an element of risk.” Yeah. that fast.

If We’re Not Supposed to Eat Meat, Why Do We Have Incisors?

A controversial new study claims that a diet rich in animal protein could be as harmful to health as smoking.

Ok… in that case, I’ll have the steak-equivalent of a Cuban cigar, please.

We Need Stricter Enforcement on This

A central Ohio principal suspended a 10-year-old boy from school for three days for pretending his finger was a gun.

So, if he’d made a fist, would he have been in trouble for concealed carry without a permit?

Obama Warned Us – Build That

We’ve got to build an economy that works for everybody, not for a few.

“Or, I’ll settle for having the few it works for be people who’ll owe me favors for it.”

Liberty Island

So Liberty Island (which has published my short story, “Who Murdered the Dinosaurs?”) has a press release explaining it and what it’s trying to achieve in putting out creative work by conservative and libertarian authors. So if you’re interested in reading or writing fiction (or any other creative endeavor), make sure to check it out. And make sure to read my story (if for some reason you haven’t already the funniest story ever), and if you register there, make sure to write a review for my story. And check out the other stories there as well (I’m not sure what’s my favorite of the stories I’ve read there so far — maybe “The Biscuit Boy”).

Seriously, though, I’m going to keep pestering you all until everyone reads my story.

Random Thoughts: Spelling, Scientists, and Game of Thrones

Remember when we had to use dictionaries to figure out how to spell words? Had a hell of a time as a kid trying to find “chauffeur” in one.

But if you put “showfer” into Google, gets you right to the right spelling. Kids these days have it so easy, those useless punks.

I noticed a plot hole: Why does anything exist at all?

I think the reason people are so interested in this Malaysian plane disappearance is that it’s a whole plane full of people that disappeared.

Maybe I should go work at Vox and explain the news.

“Here’s a picture of the Malaysian plane when it was last seen. Here’s an artist’s rendering of what it would look like with facial hair.”

The economics of House of Cards.

What if Democrats were as sociopathic as Frank Underwood, but without the competence? Or is that a what if?

Intense anger in politics is more often an indicator that you’re really stupid than that you’re really right.

You know when you cite “scientists,” that’s about as exclusive a word as “journalist,” right?

I could claim to be both a journalist and a scientist and you wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to disprove either.

Actually, that would be a great scientific experiment: Claim to be scientist, say crazy things, see if anyone can prove you’re not scientist.

Are we pretending there’s any chance George R.R. Martin will finish the Game of Thrones series before he dies of numerous beard-related diseases?

I know Martin said specifically he wasn’t going to Lost the ending to Game of Thrones, but I don’t see how he won’t with all the open plot-threads.

I’m kinda curious what Daft Punk looks like under those helmets, but I’ve seen dorks before.

Introduced 10 month old son to bacon today. He soon had a piece in each hand and was shoving it into his mouth.

Bacon is much better when you have teeth, though.

No, But THIS Time It’ll Work

A new poll shows that 68% of New York voters are in favor of establishing a national gun registry.

Great idea. By the way, how we doin’ on mandatory Obamacare signups? Have we topped 2% participation yet?
