  1. @James Thomas Rook Jr. I found out today that these things are loaded with preservatives... I mean a whole paragraph of chemicals. But still delicious.
  2. This has been bugging me for a few weeks now. It looks like these cars have an internal combustion engine too.....
  3. @Srecko Sostar I made the new topic. Not @The Librarian I thought it needed to be answered for the entire site and all the clubs inside. Thanks for making the comment. It will clear it up for many thousands in the future years.
  4. @Indiana I moved her question (statement) to her religion's club. Thanks for noticing.
  5. Handle is a mobile manipulation robot designed for logistics. Handle autonomously performs mixed SKU pallet building and depalletizing after initialization and localizing against the pallets. The on-board vision system on Handle tracks the marked pallets for navigation and finds individual boxes for grasping and placing. When Handle places a boxes onto a pallet, it uses force control to nestle each box up against its neighbors. The boxes used in the video weigh about 5 Kg (11 lbs), but the robot is designed to handle boxes up to (15 Kg) (33 lb). This version of Handle works with pallets that are 1.2 m deep and 1.7 m tall (48 inches deep and 68 inches tall).

  9. The Save the Internet Act now heads to the full U.S. House of Representatives, where it will be voted on NEXT WEEK. The only problem? Verizon, AT&T, and their cronies in D.C. are doubling down on their lies to try to gut the bill on the House floor. Overwhelming public support for net neutrality is the reason the Save the Internet Act has made it this far — without any weakening amendments from Verizon or their ilk. Voters swept in more than 40 new members to the House last year who back a free and open internet. But Democrats who took money hand over fist from Big Cable threatened to vote against net neutrality in committee, and others hinted at bipartisan "compromises" that would actually give the cable companies free rein to block or throttle websites.2 Thanks to targeted grassroots pressure, the Save the Internet Act got support from every single Democrat in committee without any changes from Big Cable. Now, with the bill headed to the floor, Verizon allies like Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon are ratcheting up their doublespeak — claiming to support net neutrality but calling the Save the Internet Act a "government takeover of the internet."3 Rep. Walden and other net neutrality opponents are sure to attack net neutrality any way they can, offering amendments that would fundamentally undermine the Save the Internet Act.
  10. Let me be the first to answer this for @The Librarian since he seems to be getting heat as a moderator for a club on this platform. This site has its own Terms and Conditions and does NOT have to follow the US Constitution regarding "Free Speech". Each club owner/moderators also set subset rules for their own clubs as well. They can be "anti-this" or "pro-that" and I don't really care. Think of this as "my house" where I can do anything that would be legal in the USA inside of my own home. That being said... I like the idea of allowing speech to be as free as it is on the streets of the USA. I cannot however break the laws of the US. The law however does allow me to control the speech allowed in my own home. Until such a time as some US Federal court tells me that I am somehow now a utility and must not censor anyone. I doubt that happens anytime soon. If anything a popular opinion right now is that the US needs to get into the business of censorship not out of it. I hope that clears things up.
  11. Just one of those days... Shares of the electric car pioneer Tesla sank 8% Thursday on 1 business headline and 1 legal one: Both its car production and deliveries were down across every Tesla modelin the last quarter of 2018. Elon Musk visited court after ignoring an SEC order for Tesla lawyers to screen his tweets pre-tweet (the judge gave him 2 weeks to agree to a settlement with the SEC). 63K eCars delivered — But that's down 31%... And Tesla got right down to the excuses for coming up short: Ships take time: Tesla began exporting its lower-priced Model 3 to China and Europe. It takes a while for them to get there. $$$: That US government subsidy to encourage electric car purchases? Just got cut in half, making Teslas more expensive for customers. THE TAKEAWAY Tesla shares have no chill... The polarizing CEO attracts lovers and haters (think pineapple on pizza). Thursday's report makes Tesla's goal for 360K-400K car deliveries this year look unreachable, so investors piled on the hate and sold shares. They think it'll run out of money. Others still think it's the car company of the future.

    T-Mobile

    The Church of "Uncarrier"... is led by unordained John Legere. The T-MobileCEO had already preached about his "Uncarrier TV," fixing all the stuff you hate about cable. On Wednesday, we got details: It'll feature Viacom's TV channels, including Comedy Central, BET, MTV, and Nickelodeon. It's exciting for 1 company... It's desperation for the other: T-Mobile (networks): Its business is low-cost phone plans. And it boldly (and kind of unrealistically) wants the same with TV. No bundling, no minimum 2-year contracts, "no BS." John's words, not ours. Viacom (content): The last kid standing on the streaming dance floor. Other content companies paired-up to compete with Netflix. Viacom finally did, but Uncarrier TV hasn't even launched. THE TAKEAWAY "Bundling" beats "discounting"... We hope Uncarrier TV will be free for T-Mobile subscribers. If it does, T-Mobile can keep winning new customers with freebies. Bundling in free stuff earned it a record 2.4M new subscribers last year: Major League Baseball streaming comes free to each T-Mobile subscriber. And "T-Mobile Tuesdays" offer up free things weekly: 1 free taco. A Dunkin' latte. 10 cents off Shell gas.
  13. One of the most famous VC firms in Silicon Valley will no longer be (technically) a VC firm. Founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz told Forbes they’ve registered the entire company to become a registered investment advisor, or RIA. Why become an RIA? Crypto bets: You say crypto’s a bubble, Andreessen Horowitz says this feels like the early days of the internet—painfully slow, but you might meet a cool Estonian in a chatroom. The firm would like to invest more in crypto, but as a traditional VC, regulators limit its ability to make riskier bets. Secondary transactions: Those regulations also hamstring VCs from doing other non-VC things, like acquiring equity in secondary transactions. That’s a missed opportunity for VCs as startups stay private longer. Zoom out: On its way from VC to RIA, Andreessen Horowitz has become a unicorn farm. At least five of the billion-dollar companies in which it’s invested are in IPO mode: Airbnb, PagerDuty, Pinterest, Slack, and Lyft. For it’s next act, the firm will reportedly announce a new growth fund of $2-2.5 billion in the coming weeks, its first as an RIA.

  15. This song includes several elements that make it quite unique and beautiful: It´s nostalgic, reflective, melodic, sentimental, evocative, yearning and sad
  16. In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top Will throw myself off In an effort to Make it clear to whoever Wants to know what it's like When you're shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Were people saying, My God, that's tough She stood him up No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to who wouldn't do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about, God in His mercy Oh, if he really does exist Why did he desert me In my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally It seems to me that There are more hearts broken in the world That can't be mended Left unattended What do we do What do we do Alone again, naturally Looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally
  17. Anyone know what infowars video actually was before Twitter censored it?
