Well then maybe Gen X will get them.

Speak for yourself, marbles.

There is also the faintest possible possibility that some sort of home health care robot will become available in the next 20 years or so, but it'll probably be very expensive.

My job is like 8 miles away from my house, so during the winter, I don't get to have the car cranked long enough for it to fully warm up by the time I have made it to work, so if I forget to use my remote start then I have to drive a cold car to work.

The writers and editors had every opportunity to do journalism but could not stop themselves from grabbing the cheapest turn of phrase available and make it the headline, huh?

I'm not saying that we should start getting pitchforks or anything right now. I'm just saying that like, they need to know that that is an option and that if they keep pushing us, they're gonna start painting targets on their own back.

I mean, that's two billionaires down in a year, and they're still ramping things up. Next year, it'll be four. The year after that, it'll be eight. And in like 15 years, we won't have any billionaires left unless they fucking straighten up an act right.

And look at the money.

The reasoning for this is to eventually lock the internet down completely to put up fences and paywalls everywhere to every single site so that even if you pay for the privilege of using the internet, you will have to pay more money to actually use the internet.

It is all about controlling you and taking every single penny they possibly can out of your pocket.

All of the tracking, all of the identity verification, all of the invasive watching every single thing you do on your computer and your phone, everywhere, all of the time always, is all about milking you for every single penny they can.

Even though they are insanely rich, beyond the imagination of any human being that has ever lived in the hundreds of thousands of years of humanity's existence on this planet they still don't have enough money and they will still never be satisfied with how much money they have.

The fact that there are free websites where people can congregate and communicate and have fun with each other without paying them for the privilege galls them.

It grinds their heart and soul the way watching a dog get shot in the head at the end of old yeller does to a normal person.

These people are evil, and we need to stop them.

When it comes down to it, we may have to rise up and slay them.

The only time the phrase "do it for the kids" is actually valuable is when it's someone asking you to grill hot dogs at a picnic.

If it's a politician saying it, "do it for the kids" is slang for "bend over and take it up the ass because otherwise you're a bad person".

The original is good, but Short Circuit 2 is the far superior sequel.

Even if you are against epic for valid reasons, you have to admit that competition is good and they're not going to be the only challenger.

It is dark magic but from what I understand it's *done by placing a portion of the circuit behind the power supply, so that it's both pushing 12 volts and pulling 12 volts.

I don't think that that is enough of an understanding to replicate the phenomenon, but if you were designing such a circuit with a gun to your head and no know how, it might be enough for you to figure it out and save your own life.
