I’m all for more and better tools for the disabled, but spare from love for Dean Kamen’s iBot, which did this over 15 years ago.

Oh come on, everyone knows Pluto is Ix, not Arrakis.
Because Big Dog wasn’t nightmare material enough, we need to have it mounted by a humanoid robot with spider legs wearing rubber dish gloves. I’m not sleeping tonight.
I never played much pinball but I love classic video games. When I saw the two inch tall, completely working version of the original Tron coin-op inside the Tron: Legacy table, it blew my mind.
Oh, I am pretty easy to drink with. I like it all, from Sauvignon Blanc to Cabernet, though I have favorites.
Yeah, has to be something like that, like they lost both engines but only one was down for the full 25 minutes. Something isn't adding up.
I know they can descend fast, what I am wondering is how do they descend so slow. If they dropped quickly they couldn't hold the altitude without power and they only descended 13k feet over a period of 25 minutes where they had no power. So assuming they are trying to maximize their altitude so they can fly the…
Oh, now we’ll just piss off the Gawkerati, not that I care. Personal favs are Merry Edwards, particularly Olivet Lane and Flax vineyards, Walter Hansel, Scherrer (when I can find it), Dutton Goldfield, Copain and even though they are pretty big I think Hartford Court produces some killer stuff. Obviously Williams…
My point was that a plane with a 15:1 glide ratio dropping only 13,000 feet in 25 minutes would seem to have an impossibly slow forward air speed. Not sure but it seems like something doesn’t add up.
Best part was the guy in Thenn makeup at the end with the big, friendly smile on his face.
OK, what’s wrong with my math here. I looked up and the A330 can achieve a glide ratio of 15:1, so a 13,000 foot drop result in roughly 37 miles of forward flight. If it took the plane 25 minutes to do that, we’re talking about roughly 88 mph of ground speed, right? Can’t be right. They said inclement weather, but…
I thought this article was a brilliant, and actually articulated quite well why these articles and videos are ridiculous. I’ve wanted to jmp into the discussion and support it but two things have stopped me... 1) This is a Gawker website, so snark is the only thing that’s going to win the day, not actual debate (case…
I was thinking of a different movie

This is going to suck harder than the music video for the original.
That is definitely how it played out in Sideways, though people don’t seem to understand the “issue” with Merlot and why it is disliked by many wine enthusiasts. It’s not that Merlot is a bad grape at all. In fact it’s one of the top wine grapes in the world, making anywhere from 30% to 100% of the composition of top…
That’s not the answer to “Hardest thing to do in zero gravity”, that’s the answer to “Thing in zero gravity that makes you hardest”
Oasis Of The Seas can hold about 6000 vacationing passengers. I’m not much of an ocean-liner guy myself,
Come on Six Flags, make this happen for the rest of us!
I assume it got the point across, it’s scary as hell.
