And how many people are you willing to kill to do that?

I played a game where a vampire, a werewolf, and a Promethean worked together to deal with supernatural problems that the powers-that-be couldn't deal with. It was a blast but figuring out how the rules interacted took a lot of improvisation.

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities has an episode with an Eldritch horror theme called Pickman's Model. Crispin Glover does a super heavy Boston accent and it is fantastic.

I always knew I was a villain.

My argument is that humans have built our cities to be navigated best by the human form, so that in that environment it is the best form. In most terrains a quadruped form is better.

Seems like a tripod robot would offer little benefit over a bipedal one while having more parts (costing more).

Navigating human environments. Imagine a team of these robots toting moving boxes down the stairs of a third floor apartment and loading them into a truck.

One of my favorite examples of the difficulty in idiot-proofing things comes from a national park ranger talking about the difficulty of designing a bear-proof garbage can. He said "There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans."

Cut the both-sides shit. Trump is a convicted sex criminal and fraud who wants to end democracy. There is objectively a better choice between the two.

Even if you don't think it was murder, it's repulsive that he is trying to make a career out of killing two people.

If Trump loses the 2024 election because Texas temporarily secedes, taking its 38 Republican electoral votes with it, I might die from the schadenfreude.

Let's just build a big congressional dorm with furnished studio apartments and make them all live there when Congress is in session. It would save the government a fortune in cost of living reimbursements and security costs.
