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."

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,

Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh ho,

And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't drink it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.

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."

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

see in some comments but in any case the one I received was incredible (for the price) I can only recommend this herb and RB and an excellent seller. the best for you in 2020 guys
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

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

Order not received
Hi Support
Was just looking for general advice. I had an order not delivered. Maintained comms with the seller throughout. Waited the 2 weeks(luckily had other smoke during this time). Was offered credit by the vendor. When it came time to collect the seller stopped answering messages. Is this a hit i just take as part and parcel of being new to LB , leave the appropriate honest feedback and move on? Or should i formalise with support? Thanks

You can still dispute this barbel, the only parcels a noob should expect are of the happy type. Just send a message to escrow Suisse with the order number.
Cheers 24601, will do as advised. Thanks
Make sure you update this thread with the ending.if you are going public with your issues please go all the way
Just to update this thread. This was sorted with professionalism and efficiency with a great replacement product. Thanks to escrow for advice given but was not required. Seller was very busy and sorted once he was aware of the issue. This community is awesome! Peace peeps
As you can see in the post , i did not name any vendor for that reason. Was merely asking advise from the collectively more experienced community.
And it worked bigga :) Thanks for the update :)
Hi guys, ordered from 2 different vendors as usually, always came no later than 3 days in UK. Now first order 11 days ago, dont think will show up and second order week ago. Tried to order another 3 days ago but is not even marked as sent still only paid.
Contact transaxe with order id's, send a separate message for each case. If they haven't marked it sent in 3 days you can cancel the order for a refund.

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!

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

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. 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.
Sounds like a plan, what games do you have on your Xbox one?
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.
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.
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.
hellyeah
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 :)

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!
Gears of war 5 here like urself still on the campaign i do play lots more though
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. ;)

did i do it wrong?
i dosed the full vial expecting some sort of trip but... nothing.
it was only 1 week old - so not stale. however, i did not refrigerate... just wondering if anyone has advice or support to offer. big time disappointed. would want to try again.

That's interesting I've had failed trips on every substance you can eat basically. This might sound weird but I actually think there is some kind of light activation to it, at least in my case a sunset or dark clouds maybe contrast itself is a trigger.
