Mike Tyson never fought Leon Spinks
Way to frick up your first post!
BTW you could argue Spinks didn't fought Tyson in '88 but Tyson sure as frick fought Leon... for a minute and a half and maybe 10 punches.

So, literally, this thing has be going non stop since we got it.
Mine hit 1000 hours in less than 2 months. It ran almost non-stop. I would figure out what plates to run to have it running almost all night, and then running all day while I was at work.
I will try to remember to circle back to this tomorrow for some tips, especially about buying filament and brands.
The most difficult print I have done was the one below. It took me three tries on the main helmet to get a good one. This one is the first one, and you can clearly see the issue with the L, among other smaller issues. The purge tower kept getting knocked down and I had to slow the movements down a lot which sucked because the print took over 60 hours as a result. I don't seem to have a picture of the best one that I gave to the friend I was doing it for. For some reason, that print is no longer available on Makerworld, glad I did it when I did. It did produce a TON of poop because of all the color changes doing the tiger.

Nope. Anyone who watched Rousey fight knew there was an 80% chance it would end that way and in under a minute. The only chance Gina had was if she had gained elite takedown defense and could keep it standing up. Even then, Rhonda would have shot over and over until she either would up getting clocked coming in or got the arm bar. Relatively speaking, she was the best at armbar subs than anyone every in the sport.

But I still don’t see it ever replicating the speed of a human regardless…at least at the cost of power to achieve such speed vs paying a human minimal wages.
Honestly, that is laughable at this point.
24/7 with no breaks, shift changes are taking a few seconds, they don't get tired and don't get sick, and I mean sick where they come in and work slower.
The minimum wage issue has to take in a lot of factors. The cost of a worker is not just the minimum wage but all the other incremental costs. WC insurance, SS matching, payroll, and all sorts of other human resources and managerial roles. Then you have the fact they don't require the same environmental conditions. Temperature, light, bathrooms, breakrooms, air quality, etc can all be less expensive due to their lower or lack of need.
I think this is a tiny window into the fact that trades are just as endangered as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. It is becoming when not if.
At some point, the robots will design, build, and maintain themselves. They will extract, refine, and finish all the materials needed to build themselves.
They just went over 100k packages sorted in under 80 hours.

No arrest. No time spent in jail. Just show up in court on the appointed date. Pretty much the same as getting a traffic ticket.
It is a wee bit more than that. In Utah the crime she is charged with is a felony, but her being under the age if 21 at the time reduces it to a Class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by 364 days in jail and/or $2500. The 364 avoids it meeting a lot of disclosure requirements (though not sexual registry), which often require disclosure of a felony or any conviction where the offence could have incarceration of a year or more. In some states, it also shifts the incarceration from state prison to county jail.
The statute specifically covers rape, forcible sodomy, object rape, forcible sexual assault, and attempted of any of the previous when the victim is between 14 and 16.

Now idk if it will increase sales of a 100k AP watch.
AP is giving all the profits to the Audemars Piguet Academie de Savoir-Faire, which teaches watchmaking. Much like the blue-collar trades in the US, there is a big gap between the expected need and supply of watchmakers in Switzerland.
Not the same, but the switch from XXL to snack-size Reacher in the movies worked, at least for me.

Pretty pedantic.
I was being kind in an attempt to be non-confrontational. The use of "lawsuit" and "sue" in reference to a WC claim indicates a complete lack of knowledge of the basic mechanisms that underpin the system's function.

you need to sue for the worst case scenario. That’s it.
That word is even itchier.
There are no lawsuits in comp (save for third-party tort actions); they are administrative claims handled by the state's comp commission, and disputes are heard by administrative judges, usually called commissioners.
It is just a technical point, rather pedantic.

First, that is horrible, especially for someone so young, and condolences to the family.
WAY too soon, but it is tOT so: Did anyone hear him yelling "Take me away" as he fell?

Watching these robots especially the learning curve, I can help but think of all the "learn a trade" threads. You can't tell me robots plus AI won't be able to weld, every process, every exotic, all environmental conditions, with perfect penetration every time. A 6G test would be child's play for them in short order.

First, to address the million-dollar issue the ones shown are supposed to be in the sub-30k range.
You can watch these robots get better in real time. They are having a lot less trouble with boxes and white packages than they did just a few hours ago.
They brought in a new "guy" without a name. :wah:

There is a lot more interest in the race this year, all because of Max Emilian Verstappen. Put some respect on his name and use the proper "f" sound instead of a hard v. :lol: He is using his own name, I preferred Franz Hermann. (not as cool as Kimi's use of James Hunt, but Max isn't cool enough for snowmobile racing and not nearly cool enough to race offshore boats in a gorilla costume)

They are running 2.5-3hr shifts, you can see the others in the back recharging. You can see the changes with their name tags. This is just sorta a proof of concept, there are far better types of "robots" to do this job and there is no need for a cordless one here.
They are learning in real time, they are much better now than they were yesterday, and just a few hours ago.
