Thanks Switzerland. Soon your home robot will be able to strangle you and your wife while you sleep even when it’s chained up downstairs.

Researchers from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have developed an articulated hand that can extend the reach of a robotic arm by detaching and crawling away on its own to grab things.

Wouldn’t that suck if the robots ball joints itched and it had to wait for the hand to return so it could scratch them.

Big tech companies are so weird with their under-cooked and abandoned services. Be glad you didn’t by this TV series from Microsoft in 2017 when Windows Phone was still hot (???) because you can’t watch it on any other phone. (I almost bought it just now but thankfully checked the system requirements first).

Go Batman The Animated Series. Absolutely superior in every aspect.

Appropriate for 7 year olds? Some of that Batman stuff is pretty dark and it’s hard to tell by the ratings. Except maybe the R rated series I saw - I’m sure that’s out.

Make sure to bring him up with the classic cartoons, when the heroines had huge tits. He will thank you someday.

Hmmm, some of it is dark, kind of built into it. I would think Bruce losing his parents and then Robin hunting down his parents killers would possibly affect him. But this was broadcast on Saturday morning then weekdays on American TV, so major brakes on anything too dark or violent. Definitely PG.

Batman: The Animated Series - Wikipedia

Mark Hamill’s Joker, Harley Quinn introduced and so good she made it back into the comics as an official character and they are still making movies with her, fantastic episodes like my fave, a bunch of the bad guys playing poker while recounting the closest they got to offing the bat, second fave the Batman on trial for being responsible for making them freak criminals, etc. Can’t miss just for yourself.

I’ve got an old VHS copy of Batman Bangs Catwoman around somewhere. Want me to send it over?

Just finished the first episode of season 1 with my boy and it was fine. I’ll watch an episode daily with him and monitor it.

Google has released a new feature which will allow people to search the internet by taking a video.

Seems like an awkward way to search for porn but ok.

Didn’t society already reject this shit several years ago? I seem to remember they coined the term “Glasshole” for people wearing those things. I think they would be useful though.

“OK Google…are her tits fake?”
