They don’t need to recognise something as a weapon just to pick it up. Animals will pick up things just for fun. The real reason why this video obviously is staged is the fact that a crab is physically not able to pick up a knife and hold it the way it does in the video.

Monotremes are a group of mammals, though ;) Mammals are divided into marsupials, monotremes, and placentalia.

I think the point is that these animals aren’t likely to attack without reason, only in self-defense. Because if you want to be nitpicking, a lot peaceful / not dangerous animals can kill you under the right circumstances.

Well, there is a chance that it’s a genetic trait that some people still posses but that’s just very rare.

You DO know that Zebras did it first, don’t you? Because guess what that camo was inspired by?

I think the amount of bacteria is a lot less (more like 20-30%), but you’re all right: poop is just the material you’d like to use as soil.

But then they’re only in range for a few of the enemies, not for the whole enemy army (which can happen even in choke points when the defending unit kills attackers). I did this tactic, too, but only when I’m sure that my next move will either destroy all close enemies or at least kill enough so that the rest of the…

It’s dissapointing that doing nothing and just defending (essentially hiding) is an effective strategy now. Previous games forced you to move and preferably get the first strike on the enemy. Also choke points could be deadly for a defending unit, because even the most tanky-ones can die when they’re attacked 10 times…

You should say which part you want to correct. Because his use “its” in “...this article and its link...” is correct, while the one in “if you are writting you tech and gaming its...” is wrong.

There are already a few robots used for studying wild animals. But they aren’t ball shaped. Try searching “beetle cam.

I have ;) But BB8 isn’t only a ball and I think he didn’t walk /roll uneven terrain either. I don’t remember whether he was able to jump stairs though. Or whether there even were any stairs :P

I think a ball-shaped robot wouldn’t be good in any of these fields. It can’t climb stairs and it propably gets stuck in uneven terrain very easy. Even though these ARE fields in which robots can make work much easier / safer, I doubt this robot will be of great use in them.

Guess you shouldn’t visit any Gawker-related blogs, then. Because here are half a dozen of articles about him every day... A boycott on Trump actually sounds quite nice, but less because he’s an idiot but because it’s just annoying to see all the articles about every word he says.

Because it’s supposed to look like it could do anymore than it does in the video (and propably is able to at the moment). I mean: a third arm would be very useful in many situations in engineering or a laboratory - but to be useful such an arm would need to be much more controllable and except for brute-force works…

I guess because a piano needs a certain amount of dexterity, while the the robot-arm seems quite rough and very slow to move around (except the up-and down of the sticks). So I’d say it’s just not able to move around and hit different keys (buttons?) fast enough.

Wow, I haven’t heard that one. That’s a hot candidate for the “most stupid argument of the century”-award. Imagine all the good things people could have done using the money now essentially wasted on stadiums and the like. I mean, of course it’s good that they do at least something, but considering the costs compared…

There is ABSOLUTELY NO reason and NO excuse to not tell your partner when you cheated. If you’re for any reason too afraid too tell, than you’re not made for each other, anyway. Then you’re just a bad human being, a selfish existence keeping this secret just to not be alone.

I really don’t understand why such countries get to host such huge events in the first place (except the money, of course). Brazil should get rid of it’s poverty and sanity problems before trying to invite the whole world as it’s guests. And whoever let Qatar have the next world cup: whatever that guy smoked, I want…

Daesh is some kind of acronym which actually means the same as ISIS in arabic, but it sounds the same (or just similar?) as some arabic insult - although none of these “call them Daesh, you idiot”-shouters could tell me what it’s actually supposed to mean.

That’s strange, because if you read the article it says that they aren’t against natural family planning, that is sex during days in which women aren’t fertile - that is sex that (propably) won’t lead to procreation.
