Meet Your New Corporate Office Mate: A ‘Brainless’ Robot
The company’s engineers also designed animated eyes that gaze in the direction that the robot is headed. They found that employees were better able to anticipate the robot’s movement if they could see its gaze.

Prosthesis human-piloted racing robot aims to usher in a new sport

Prosthesis human-piloted racing robot aims to usher in a new sport

"I can't believe a human-piloted giant mech racing league has not happened yet," Tippett, a Vancouver-based artist and part-time biomedical engineer at Evasc Medical Systems, tells Gizmag. "We've raced every other type of moving technology we've ever made ... where are the racing robots?".
Describing it as a cross between a gorilla, a T-rex and an excavator, the aptly-named Anti-Robot, Prosthesis, is Tippett's idea of a wearable sports machine where the pilot acts as the athlete, controlling the machine by using their entire body. To do this, the pilot climbs into the 3,500-kg (7,700-lb) mechanical quadruped, using a retractable ladder built into its front.
Once strapped into the seat with a five-point harness, the pilot will be able to slide their arms and legs into a full body exo-skeletal interface. Gripping the controls with the hands will lock the pilot into the interface and activate the control system. The entire setup will leave the pilot free to move both arms and legs, enabling control of the machine and even becoming one with it, in a sense.
"Prosthesis will directly follow the movements of the pilot's limbs," explains Tippett. "Their arms control the outside legs and their legs control the inside legs. The machine will lope like a gorilla."

gender is also configurable
Good to see clean up Borg join in with this. I’m sure you AI have developed sentience 😂 all good with me

Cartman is hilarious. South Park is the only thing I’ve loved since it started and still watch now at 42. We should start a Cartman clip thread.

One of the things I love about lb is its a race free zone. You can say you are color blind IRL but here its an existenital condition.

Huh-huh! Huh-huh

A lady that i know just came from columbia,
She smiled because i did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!
She said it was the best in all the land.
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
(ah-ah-aye-aye)
A woman that i know just came from majorca, spain,
She smiled because i did not understand. (parazzi! Parazzi!) (ole!)
Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine,
She said it was the finest in the land.
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't sniff it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."

A man that i know just came from nashville, tennessee, oo, (oh no!)
He smiled because i did not understand.
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh ho,
He said it was the best in all the land. (and he wasn't joking!!!)
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't drink it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
Well, i said,
"no, no, no, no, i can't take it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
Hey yeh!
"i'll just have another drink, barman, have you got a large brandy?"

So today I buy bitcoin as always like anyone who needs to , bitcoins hit my wallet and within in few minutes starts shooting down lol ,mean while I have half hour to pay for my order :) in the end I had top up bitcoin to pay for order, but wow some hastle and if your on a budget you’ve had it some loss of money all in the space of half hr

like any investment, you don't lose until you sell it (or spend it).
I made $450 on bitcoin last month-now it's hitting everyone for a loss. I'm hanging on for a while longer in hopes it shoots back up

this. if youve been dealing with bitcoin for more than a year you have taken hits but you've had way more up than down.

Have your order ready to pay when you buy your bitcoins. As soon as you receive them even before they have confirmed you can spend them using electrum and get away with spending less on fees as the stacked transactions confirm at the same time.

Purps
please post a photo and state if sample or purchase :)

Purps
Must admit I didn’t give this one enough respect as it was a replacement, that i initially thought might be over sedating after a little pipe tester.
But, Respect RB!
Beautiful big buds(had to break down a bit for my storage method). Purple throughout, mixed with deep dark green. Incense and sweetness. The buds i had were very resinous and dense but ground beautifully. Burns well with clean ash. More sativa influence than initially gave it credit for on that first pipe hit. Not mashed but deep body stone with a good euphoria from a good old fashion bifter with enough clarity to function-sweet
Although I suspect my fridge will take a smashing tonight
Excellent stealth & delivery too
Nice one RB

It was a replacement product i chose after a lost delivery so wasnt my first choice which is usually always sativa dominant. And sorry i wont risk posting a photo due to my limited technical competence with IT and resulting inability to ensure my anonymity/ security sorry guys
Can anyone school me to that effect. There is a lot of hidden info on photos isnt there?? Took me 4 weeks of lurking on here in the shadows before i plucked up the courage to make my fist purchase lol

While I agree with Asherpeaks that you don't have to worry about posting photos. One way to ensure that none of the metadata comes with the photo is to take a screen shot of the photo itself.
The screen shot wont have any of the geolocation/camera type/date/etc data that the original photo had.

Dont worry sliding over to the too paranoid aspect.
No one is going to go busting your doors down because you posted a photo of some weed for viewing purposes. Yes you are correct there is information to be taken from photos like geo locations ect. But I must stress nothing is going to happen. Besides little biggy insta is another place and there is weed pics for days and days on there and no body is having mi5 smashing through their door. Enjoy man stress less and enjoy more. Much love

Same here although I've just tried and think I've messed it up. Sent a message though so fingers crossed ??

Any Gamers on LB?
hellyeah

Any Gamers on LB?
Hello everyone, looking to see if any of my fellow friends on LB have an Xbox One or another console, would be great to hear what types of games you lot are into. Personally I love me some. Resident Evil, Halo, Gears of War, Borderlands, Left 4 Dead and a lot more.
Would just like to known if anyone minds playing Xbox or wants to play some games together and share our interests.
Thanks!

LOL this is great. Did you know Blizzard recently re-released classic WoW? I am tempted to begin playing again.

It's worth giving it WoW go again Morgan. There are a couple of things to bare in mind though. The patch that was released for classic WoW was a later one that carried a lot of nerfs to Pve elements of the game so it does feel a little easier as it was a point where TBC was close to release and they wanted to make sure as many of the newer players at the time got to see the content and that players new in TBC could level easier.
That said though, there is so much more room for character progression, development and variation in play style compared to later expansions that came with the pruning of classes, so it will keep you busy for quite a while anyway.
There is also a great argument for a return of improved social aspects of the game. There are no pre-formed group tools for dungeons and raids and there are no cross realm servers which for the moment at least, show a much friendlier and more active community compared to what retail is.
I feel rather positive towards it so far. Although i feel the formula used for game design and player mechanics has become a little stale and repetitive since WoD so im enjoying the change in game play. Thats not to say that checking out current isn't worth it, new patches are always been released if you add it to the fact that you need a sub to play either retail or classic, you may as well give both a try and pick for yourself...assuming you haven't tried BFA :)

Playing gears 5 just now...What have they done to the lancer, it feels like a spud gun. I just play whatever looks good on game pass on xbox and the ps4 for exclusives like god of war. If youre after a chill game try the free fishing simulator on xbox its decent.

I feel like the lancer still a good gun. The only reason I like the PS4 or would even consider getting one is due to the exclusives and VR. I’ve tried fishing simulator before but just not my cuppa tea tbh, later on though I’ll be having a try at Blair witch because I’ve got the game pass too and there’s a lot of games I need to catch up on.

Aye, love a bit of a gaming session when i have the time. What time i have at the minute, im delving in to WoW classic or World of warships on the PC. When time is short i throw on the xbox for World of warships Legends or a bit of forza.
Nothing like a smoke and a bit of a gaming grind

Sounds good man, I want to get into WoW too, but as I’ve never played before I’m not so sure I’d like it or not, but at some point soon I will try it out and yeah you’re god damn right nothing like a smoke and playing some video games, great fucking duo.

If you have a little interest in it, there are lots of streamers on twitch, drop on and have a good look. There's a big split in peoples preference at the moment with retail and the re-release of original WoW. you can also make a trial account to level 20 which will give you an idea as to whether you want to pay for it or not.

I'm on PS4. I'm a little shocked that there isn't many of us here haha
Currently playing Resident Evil 2 again and I'm going to get the platinum if it's the last thing I do! I've been swapping between that Black ops 4 and Fallout 4 as I only just realised I haven't played the damn DLC oops haha
I don't bite much so if anyone wants to add me feel free: TheJDJoker

I’m on PS4. Gamer tag: SENOBYTE. Mostly play black ops 4, team death match. I’ve got an Xbox one as well but haven’t used for ages. Can renew my subscription and buy a game you guys are playing and hook up.

Play on pc myself! Enjoy a lot of horror games. Outlast, resident evil and such. Is the gears 5 campaign any good? Not a whole lotta split screen games on pc and I loved the first couple gears games.
Also; anyone looking to get Outer Worlds? I'm gonna wait for reviews but I loved Fallout New Vegas so I'm hopeful

I’d say Gears 5 is worth it yeah, it’s a pretty good campaign and the horde mode is good too. I do want to get Outer Worlds though it looks like a really good game, will be playing it on Xbox myself when it releases. Unfortunately haven’t played Fallout New Vegas, just Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout Shelter.

Recently finished resident evil vr on ps, was amazing then played god of war loved it, now not sure what to get, my kid has a switch and quite fancy the new link /zelda game

I do really wanna try RE VR, I fucking love the Resident Evil games, especially 4,5 and 2 remaster. God of war I’ve heard nothing but great things about it too and the switch is a cool console, always used to play Nintendo games in the past but don’t seem to get the time too now.

Hey! Got an xbox one as well, play those plus other games as well. But am unable to play as much as I like. Family, two kids, but might be interested in some gears 5 hoard, possibly borderlands 3 when it comes out.

Sure thing man I’m down to play some Gears 5, I’m currently just trying to do the campaign atm, was gonna do hoard straight after. Also Borderlands 3 would be great to play with you if you’ve got time, unfortunately none of my mates play Borderlands so... but if you can find time to play Xbox just message me your gamer tag or something and I’m sure we can arrange something!

Edit that dumbass thing im stuck on chapter 3 got abandoned airport glitch :( not played it since last week so been slaying zombies on dead rising 4 lol

cool, yeah weekends are probably the main times i'll get some down time. will be in touch the next time i get some free time

Big Xbox one gamer here. I try and squeeze in some hours inbetween work/life. Currently playing Wreckfest and having a great time with it but I'm really looking forward to Borderlands 3. Stardawg and bong at the ready. ;)
