Canceling on Jan 28th. They've been doing well without the extra money. Fuck them. I still got other ways of watching movies and TV.

My Wife's Father. I don't care for him even if he has changed following a letter she wrote to him saying she'd be out of his life if he didn't. In the past he beat her Mom and put my Wife through constant guilt trips. He honestly has changed a lot since the letter and he does very well with his grand daughter, but I just wanted to be home with my wife and daughter after working 70 hours out of state on a retrofit job. My Wife's mother and step father will be visiting new years weekend. I just want it to be my family, but my Wife needs the help watching our daughter while I'm gone for work, so I just put up with it like any decent human would.

Valve has sold multiple millions of steam decks. Fortnite is a popular game. What better way to grow a platform than to develop a popular game for it? Am I not wrong in thinking you'd increase profits having invested in another area? Especially if it would only take "a few more programmers"? I know Tim Sweeney doesn't want to provide profit to Valve and I know he's also a fucking idiot, but more money is more money...

When I shop on Amazon and see the obvious China companies that sell the same product but have the strangest names. Definitely avoid those products. If I see a.company only ships via fedex, I avoid doing business with that company. Dang, I know I have more just can't think of them right now with morning brain.

Edit: I avoid many major brands too. I belive them to be selling because of the name alone rather than having a quality product anymore. Dr Scholls is one of those,

Robotics technician with 7 years under his belt here: these things only happen due to human error. Either at the integrators level (not the proper risk assessment made or poor programming/design) or by the worker (bypassing safety devices to get the job done). Now since this is South Korea, I don't think they'd be bad off on providing safe machines in the first place. Since the robot unexpectedly moved, I'd have to guess the fence circuit of the robotic cell was jumped out in some way. Either by a hardwire jumper or taking the safety key off the door and jamming it in the receiving locking module. Normally when a safety circuit is broken (Emergency Stop, Fence/Gate/Light Curtain or Non-Teaching Enable Device) the robot has power to its servo motors disconnected physically.

On the integrators side,.perhaps they didn't interface a safety gate in with the robot, perhaps they didn't use dual chain safety (24v line and a 0v line that flip at the same time and if they don't flip within a certain time of another, safety trips due to the time discrepancy). Doesn't say what brand of robot was being used, but the 4 types of robots I've used (fanuc, abb, motoman and kuka) have had force sensitive feedback to stop the robot in the event of a collision. But that's a collision, so even a robot at 100% collision detection is going to do some damage before it stops, possibly could kill too if programmed poorly.

There is a lot that can go wrong via human negligence of automated equipment. Having integrators and customers that understand the risks and practice good safety is vital to preventing workplace injuries on automated equipment! I'm proud to say the leading industry turnkey integrator I work for always has safety number one with our machines. Normally I would call BS if someone stated that, but we have almost endless checklists and design reviews geared towards safety. That's what makes a great integrator standout from the mom and pop shops!

Happy to have voted to legalize Marijuana for all those future unborn senior citizens!

Got one even better: Kingdom Come: Deliverance vs Starfield

While working at a machine shop we had a lady who came to work just like every other day. Didn't put her hair up just like every other day. Worked on a usual customer's job at the drill press just like any other day. But that one time is all it took for her to be literally scalped when her hair was caught on the drill press. The employer had new safety requirements for those with long hair after that day. Tie your hair up people, all it takes is that one time to happen...

Many Ohioans are dumb. Evidence? They are putting signs on their yard to vote Yes on Issue 1 to peotect...THE 2ND AMMENDMENT...These Republican idiots will vote for anything if you put "Protect Life" or "Protect the 2nd ammendment" on it...ugh...I hate how red this state is, but it has great places to vacation and spend time at...I expect this issue will pass. Republican voters don't see that they're taking away the power of the people by voting yes...

Currently re-watching The Orville for the 100 somethingth time! Love the show so much!

🙋 (idk of emojis work here, but I posted the android dude woth his hand up).

This is relevant to Issue 1 being voted on in Ohio. The issue will change voting on ammendments to go from a simple majority to 60% along with other stuff that's bad.

People have signs in their yard that say "Vote Yes...Protect the 2nd Ammendment". This state vote issue has nothing to do with the 2nd Ammendment and its the weirdest take to me right now.
