Also: Boston Dyamics’ robot Atlas learned new tricks…
+1 for camera job tracking them robots.
Also: the way the Atlas jumps the pole sideways resting on its arm for balance it’s uncanny as hell.

Thats a new move I think, not seen untill now. It doesnt incorporate such mechanical movements as the rest, so can be seen as very close to human. But the looks are still a robot.
More they publish these videos, more they look like something is being breaking into the normalcy with those robots.

I wonder what kind of feelings could these minibrains also develop. Or if there was mini consciousness in them. 
Its too close to what frankenstein story is about I think.
Human brain farms anyone? They could put them to some use.
And then they will ask questions: Why are we here, what can we do?

Time to go to sleep… today my father had surgery to remove a small skin cancer from the nose (it started as a kind of wound that would never heal completely, which he blamed to diabetes until his doctor sent him to a dermatologist). The procedure has gone well so far but the way to rebuild the skin removed is awkward and “socially difficult”, guess it will take a while to get accustomed to how my dad’s nose and face will look for a few weeks until everything heals back. Anyway, if fate calls our nubmer to have a cancer, a skin cancer on the nose is of the tamest, lest dangerous kinds of cancer… so we’ve been lucky that it’s been something that can just be removed and then make a procedure to heal the wound with skin from the forehead. Nighties lovelies!
Also: how to parkour Atlas robots
They’re powered by electricity and move with hydraulic systems… this explains to me why they have such mix of power and control, although breakdowns might end in oily messes with hdyraulic fluid splashing all over the place.

Thank you! They changed his bandages today at the hospital and tomorrow will change them again with hope that they last over the weekend. There is still some bleeding from blood trapped in swollen areas but that should be gone by tomorrow. Surgery of the face is always a mess…
And now I’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!
Also: the story of a little known technological win from WW2…
Using the kind of electronics they had back then, putting a electronic fuse in an artillery shell was a massive feat and neither Japanese nor German military figured during the war that Allied military had succeeded to add proximity fuses to their shells.

Re: skin cancer.
My father also had about a quarter of his nose and an upper eyelid removed due to cancers.
All went well, but we were worried more about how my granddaughter would react at 1yr of age. Fortunately, the big hole where his nose was and his eye sewn shut only had a momentary effect. She then bounced all over him once she realized it wouldn’t hurt him.
A few months later and almost unnoticeable.
Glad your dad is OK.

Glad to hear your father recovered fully. The surgery on my father has been small, the surgeon said the tumor was about 5 mm2 and they expected to remove 7 mm2 of skin. The wounds are doing well, but his forehead hurts and he feels a little dizzy sometimes. And can’t wear glasses, which is annoying for his hobbies…
And now I’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!
Also: type the alphabet…
Guess I can improve this time once I start using muscle memory…

The 7 is quite disappointing. It just looks like a recipe for Cyberpunk 2077 again. I have completely played thru it, with every quest completed. There is like 0.0001% replay value tho. I was just loading the save from before the end mission to play some more and look at buildings, drive around, listen to radio, and ocasionally eliminate some gonks from the streets.

I just learned how to play Sudoku. I won’t end up throwing away half of the puzzle page from the daily newspaper unsolved anymore.
But that’s the mechanics of manifesting things. Not just the vague “think good thoughts and you’ll have it all” stuff. 
EDIT:
Good night, lovelies.

That’s what I thought as the hype train hyped, specially after seeing the trailer and how the car was railed to destination during the mission. Even if Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t a mess, it still would be a one ride game.
And now I’m off to sleep. Nighties lovelies!

Maybe with time, who knows…
The game isnt bad. It suffered from very bad launch but is a lot less buggy now. I want to do more there, some more shooting and exploring, but the missions all ended. 
The graphics are the best tho.

Also: rise the sea levels… or lower them!
It’s not really a flood prediction tool, but gives a rough estimate based on altitude of places. According to it, my place in Barcelona would be safe until roughly 18 meters of rise, and it would take over 50 meters to flood more than half the city.
