Besides solar power, there’s gotta be something to burn for energy there.

Wait, when did Google cancel Project Ara?

Realistically, it still wouldn’t have mattered if he plugged into the front (cold aisle is the front) of the server or just went into the master node via ssh. On top of that, if we’re getting nitty-gritty, who the fuck let him into the server room with the multi-million dollar Beowulf cluster? (It looks like a Beowulf…

I mean...not quite, but still.

Not a bad namesake to have. My mom was a big fan of those Dracula movies, and named me after him.

I’ve been to a “Cat House” in Japan that would have been a perfect fit for this convention. You bought a ticket and there were cool setups behind glass that some cats would climb through, and then there were cats out on in the open that you could play with. There were toys all around, and paintings of cats on the…

Because marketing?

It was very much a first year event. I can understand why maybe they didn’t want to spook a bunch of cats out on the floor, but it was pretty disappointing. There were plenty of cat ears and even a cat leotard thing that was being sold (and I saw one girl wearing). The majority of it was either merch with cats on it…

Surprising low! Seriously, it was mostly merch, and only 5-10 cats for adoption. I didn’t see any out in the booths. None at all!

I dropped in on Sunday, and had an encounter with an actual Crazy Cat Lady, who informed me and my group that she could get us cats BOGO. She also insisted on sharing that she had eight at home, and didn’t need to be looking at the adoption cats.

Well isn’t that some food for thought. Or is it thought for food?

Ahh, I can see the scenario now: there you are, kicking back, watching the Big Bang Theory on US Netflix, when the Mounties kick in your door for child porn. Once they realize that it was all a mistake, they’ll arrest you anyway for watching that godawful show, and justice will be served.

Damn, robotics, you scary!

This is my #1 complaint at work. They actually promote the “open floor plan” on the tours and during interviewing, as though those same people haven’t complained about the noise and distraction. I personally can’t fucking stand people walking behind me, so I’m always looking over my shoulder. I would much, much prefer…

What, has nobody seen Tainspin?

Sounds like a nice toolkit for your average megalomaniacal genius.

Short of G Gundam, I don’t think any mobile suit would meet the qualifications of what an “exoskeleton” has been defined as. I mean, in any given media where they’re referred to as such. I would define an exoskeleton as something that enhances your natural abilities, that is actually worn by you. The scale of an…

I kinda got clickbaited into this one, so I felt the need to say something nerdy. Sieg Zeon, motherfuckers!

I dunno, the UC history of mobile suits is pretty murky. It’s generally pretty retcon heavy, and the primary focus is on how they were so great for space warfare. There are great examples of construction mobile suits in the various UC series, but most information about where and why they were created is left to side…

I tend to consider mobile suits to be far beyond any exoskeleton comparison. Sort of apples to oranges, in this case. In-universe, they were created and deployed because Minovski particles blocked radar and radio communication, and essentially the rule of escalation. Zeon thought, “I know, giant humanoid mechs are…
