I build robots. It's fun. Except when it isn't (which is most of the time...)

I would like to thank the crew of @SouthwestAir flt 3459 & 3343 for their deep courtesy in letting me board with the boxed funerary flags and remains of my Army collegue who is on his final flight home, and letting me bring my oversized dress uniform garmet bag aboard.
I ❤️ SWA!

Colonel Derek Mill-Roberts (L) is among the liberators of Bergen-Belsen. Accepting the surrender of German Field Marshal Erhard Milch, he demands an explanation. Milch replies: "These people are not human beings like you or I". Mill-Roberts beats the Nazi officer unconscious.

My good friend and long-time HomeBrew Robotics Club member, Tim Craig, has passed. Tim was also an avid traveler and photographer. His main robot was a beast of a 'bot named Brutus.

DoNotPay is building a chrome extension where you can specify something like “negotiate my Comcast bill down,” and it will use the Comcast online chat to lower your bill with GPT-3.
Over time, Comcast will also use LLMs. So robots will just be negotiating with each other!

So many people are so surprised that a combat vet was at a LGBTQ club. It shows how little people know about vets and about LGBTQ clubs.

Yes, you can wear an N95 and still get COVID, especially with BA.5. But that doesn't mean masks don't work. You can also die in a car crash wearing a seat belt, but that doesn't mean seat belts don't work. Masks reduce the odds of infection. Be probabilistic, not fatalistic.
