Nope not joking. For me, joining the Navy changed my life. I had graduated high school and was going nowhere fast as a dishwasher and had no prospects for higher education. Joined up, spend almost 8 years, and got schooled as an aircraft electrician. Hell, these college grads with their fancy scmancy degrees could join up as officers! No offence to our esteemed vets, but I would highly recommend a service like the Navy or Air Force over the Army or Marines as there is a much lower probability of splosions.

You unemployed bums ( ) should go join the military. Get an average or better score on the ASVAB, and youre guaranteed three hots and a cot for life, with vocational training thrown on top!

Ive always wanted to see the Grand Canyon with my own two eyes but it would probably turn out like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqNwo2NpmGY

In a move that shocks nobody, Why are the French on strike ... again? If they follow suit of the previous annual strikes, the French will teach the French a lesson by causing as much economic damage as possible to the French.

Donald Trump will visit Britain, setting up a likely hostile reception. Would have been interesting to see the UK go full supernova under the weight of angst if he would have shown up a day earlier.

Condolences Oerwinde. Went fishing yesterday and caught a medium size catfish (released it) and my buddy caught a 15" bass (kept it). After that, an evening of garage drinking and watching the rain. Planning more of the same today.

Once hes done with The Trump Wall, were finally going to build that water pipeline from Alaska that was quashed in the 90's. You others water rich countries take note. If this doesn't work were coming for your water too. But seriously, why aren't we just making desalination plants every 10Ft? Weve got thousands of miles of coast.

I follow and fully agree. But isn't the sense of touch nothing more than an electrical stimulation to a certain part of your brain? I think even now we are developing artificial limbs that are simulating "touch". Of course it will need an on/off switch for when I explore the sun.

Now imagine this body with your brain in it. No need for food/water/air...you could explore space or take a stroll in the Mariana Trench. These fleshy bags we live in are our biggest weakness.

But would you even know it?

I wish I was born 100 years from now so I could have been a cyborg. Imagine having a WiFi-like capability built directly into your brain and being able to at any time reference any information in the collection of humanity. /drool

You only need a human in the front end taking orders and dealing with people. Everything from the register on back can be automated. I agree that maintenance would need to be factored in but thats chump change compared to "managing" a human. No rest, no errors. Humans are almost always the weak link in a system, unless you need decision making capabilities. And I think in our lifetime we will see machine even overcome that limitation.

I found it interesting that in a little over one year of paying someone $15/hour, you completely pay off the robot in full (2080 x 15 = 31200).

Caught up on the last episode of The Flash and I thought it was pretty good.

I forgot to watch The Flash last night but I already spoiled myself on the ending and man in the mask. Meh. Ill still watch it for the Zoom fight I guess.

Guy driving Tesla uses auto-pilot to take nap on commute. I wish this was me.

IMO, money or power facilitates the deviancy but does not create it. It must already be there lurking below the surface.
