That sounds a lot more like "kid left his hand too long in the area where the robot picks up chess pieces" industrial accident as opposed to "Skynet got mad at the humans"

The video looks like the kid didnt do anything unusual, the robot just hated the snotty brat and wanted to teach him a lesson:

I'm generally against breaking into military bases, but if you are going to, that is a pretty good reason.

I love the detail. Like, if they weren't US aliens or Chinese dragons, this wouldn't have been a big deal.

Cheating allegations draw attention to STL chess tournament | ksdk.com

Quote:

When the world's top chess champion, Magnus Carlsen, withdrew from the tournament following a stunning loss to 19-year-old up-and-comer Hans Niemann, some accused the younger player of cheating. Among the theories was that Niemann used a vibrating prostate massager to play the right moves, speculation that seemingly elicited a tweet from Tesla founder Elon Musk.

'Little heroes': A pair of 6-year-old twin girls used their toys and hair dryer to fend off their mother's attacker, police say

So the number of 6 year olds this guy can fight is less than two.

Imagine being him in prison:

"So what are you in for?"

"I attacked a woman"

"And she fended you off?

"No, it was her 6 year old girls"

Bringing 200 pounds from California means these guys are probably pretty serious traffickers. But those mugshots sure make it seem like that’s just their Thanksgiving personal use stash.

John Cleese’s classic “silly walk” burns more calories than a normal gait | Ars Technica

Quote:

In fact, just 11 minutes a day of walking like Mr. Teabag was equivalent to 75 minutes of vigorously intense physical activity per week, presenting a novel means of boosting cardiovascular fitness.

Edward64 12-30-2022 08:36 PM

Which reminds me of Wegovy. Anyone have any opinions on it, talk with their Dr. etc.?

Quote:

Weight loss may begin within the first 4 weeks of treatment with Wegovy, but the full effects of treatment may not be seen for several months or longer.

In studies, weight loss was assessed over a 68-week period.

Patients taking Wegovy lost an average of 35 lbs (15.9 kg), or about 15% of their body weight compared to 6 lbs (2.7 kg), or roughly 2.5% body weight in the placebo group.

Overall, after 68 weeks, 83% of people taking Wegovy lost 5% or more of their weight compared to 31% of people taking a placebo.
I don't qualify based on below but I can see an over-the-counter pill one of these days.

Quote:

Wegovy is used in addition to diet and exercise for long-term weight management in adults who are either obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Ksyrup 12-30-2022 08:42 PM

I think the point is, compared to basically the same amount of time doing "vigorous physical activity," which walking like Teabag is not.

I was innocently scrolling through Tik Tok this morning, when I saw a video with a lady trout-fishing saying she was unaware of that "other" trout video. That made me curious to what she was talking about. I wish I hadn't.

Wished you'd chosen the "trout" option?
