Would you be open to answering a few more questions about this? My email is in my profile or I could reach out to you if you provided a way.

Is there a collection of videos like this anywhere online? Or what would be a good search term?

I feel like I see a video like this once a year. There's got to be hundreds of them showing different molecular or biological interactions

Nah based off this comment and your previous one, you're choosing to be bitter and critical. It's not the content of your argument but how you're saying it.

I guess it depends on where you draw the line on what is a humanoid.

The world we've built for ourselves is for humans. If you need a robot to flip a hotel room for the next guest it may not need real legs but its probably gonna be column shaped with some arms. That's humanoid to me.

Not trying to single out a hotel maid as low skilled, just trying to use an example of a common task in a very human environment

In this vein I've always thought it would be cool to see what kind of sports we could have in a zero gravity stadium in orbit. Something like the training facilities in Ender's game.

Maybe a sport like Quidditch could become a reality

I'm a millenial myself, and not a parent so parents please correct me. 4. Modern parenting is torture for children.

Up until the teenage years kids need to feel useful. They need to be able to help fix things, etc. They need to get into a little bit of trouble and get dinged up a bit.

Teenagers need a lot more freedom. Every ounce of their body is pushing them to distance themselves from their family, have sex and take risks. Instead parents insist on this "no drugs, no sex" policy. Of course both of those things can present major problems, which is why they should be discussed but not forbidden. Even sex ed today is maximizing fear and pushing waiting until marriage which is just as bad.

As the parent points out, living in a car dependent city with nowhere to go and no way to get there leaves you no choice but to stay home. Staying home means tv, internet and video games. Parents are out on a holy war against that as well.

Are you suffocating yet? Now remember that in addition to everything above your texts, location, browsing history, grades, etc. are all being tracked and reported for your parents to further control you. Could you imagine if you were treated like this as an adult. You'd have a civil war.

Let them fuck. Let them work. Let them do drugs. Let them make mistakes for christ sake. All of these things have consequences and are worth keeping in mind. But coddling them until 18 and expecting them to be functional is like raising an elephant from birth isolated until adulthood then releasing them to the african savannah. They'll be dead before sunset.

Living in Arizona, this is always a surprising fact to remember since the electric bill is highest in the summer.

On one hand I understand heating has way bigger temperature differentials to overcome but heat is so easy to make. Most machines and technology create heat as a waste or byproduct so it always feels like purposely creating heat should be so easy.

I hate that I've come to this conclusion but urgent care has been quite a disappointment every time I go. When I broke my wrist they did nothing and told me to go to the ER since they don't xray. When I was very ill and suspected food poisoning they told me to go to the ER since they don't do IVs.

If you can't xray or IV then what can you do? So useless.

Old School Runescape. I know it sounds impossible to play a game while working. However, a huge part of this game is click and wait between 10 seconds to 10 minutes. I get a ding in my headset when I need to click again. It requires just enough attention that I need to be active at my computer but after that click I have nothing better to do than work.

I lost my passport while in the United Kingdom and had no other identifying documentation with me. The US embassy had me fill out a ~10 question sheet of paper and then "checked me out". 30 minutes later they said I was "good" and would have a new passport delivered to me in 48 hours.

UK/US relations are pretty good. I'm sure this situation could have been a lot worse in more unfriendly countries but I'm still shocked this solution was even possible.

I'm all for the legalization of cannabis/gambling/alcohol/prostitution/etc. but I do believe that advertising for these industries are a net negative for society. We're all used to alcohol advertising by now but it's objectively just as bad as the rest.

I'm pretty sure they planned on the booster to land on a barge in the ocean

Yes, more specifically Hitler funding Wernher von Braun.

I can see both sides of Wernher's fame and criticism but nonetheless people love to point out he was a Nazi.

It's a lot of water to get going but almost all of it is re-used after that point
