Weaponized Black Assault Dog of War.

At the end of the day going forward, I allege that I think I might
want one - if it can be easily modified to efficaciously handle the
full auto recoil and literally do its own large magazine swaps.

Ban them now! Somebody should do something before there are literally
dozens of them running around patrolling ferry lines, and also
spraying perfectly healthy people parking in Walmart handicapped
spaces. They also might be used in campgrounds to neutralize people
whose campfires are exceeding established smoke metrics outside the
borders of their assigned campsite - close that loophole right at the beginning.

Back in the 80s, a company invented a remote controlled robot prison guard they wanted to sell to the CA Dept of Corrections... It looked sort of like R2D2, only with rubber tracks on the bottom, enabling it to climb stairs... It had cameras,
speakers, was festooned with barrels, using several charges of double aught buckshot, and an extending arm with pinchers, to grab someone out of a cell, or crowd, various squirters for CS gas, and could be totally electrified, like a rolling taser.
.. It weighted 1600 lbs.... Unfortunately, all any of us ever saw were pix of it, but all the hacks thought it would make a great partner that wouldn't bum smokes, or complain of personal problems during the shift.....

As soon as it realized you didn't want it in the break room with you,
and discovered that it had no sensors with which to enjoy doughnuts,
it would have turned on you.

2. Don't piss off a robot.

I expect that the orange idiot will continue giving to the
Democrats for many years to come. That quote is a classic that fits many occasions--past, present, and future.

I've stopped referring to "retrumplicans" like that is a separate
wing of the Republican party. This latest round of denial has convinced
me that that is the Republican party. It has been completely absorbed,
at the same time the idiot is losing his grip. Some folks are starting
to say that the idiot isn't MAGA enough. A lot of Republicans are
looking for a newer and shinier version, which might not be either of
Florida's favorite fascists. What the Republicans need is someone who
can put a friendlier face on fascism. The faces may be changing, but the
base remains the same.

A couple of months ago, I signed up for DISH tv. I've paid the 2 bills
they sent me since then for the amounts they said I owed. A few days
ago, I got another snailmail bill for.......wait for
it..............$0.02. Literally 2 cents. Literally. I don't know how
much it cost them to generate, print, and mail that letter, but I'll
bet it was more than 2 cents. OTOH, as I reorient and reevaluate my
calculus and context at the end of the day going forward, there's
probably no price too high to pay to show me who's the boss.

According to Snopes:
----------------------------------------------------
"Here's my two cents" in the sense of airing an unsolicited opinion
dates only to the mid-1920s, and likely began in the U.S. It appears
to be an extension of the usage noted above, in that the "two cents"
is employed as a way of saying "Here's my little bit of nothing." ----------------------------------------------------

Based on that context and inflation during the passage of time, at the
end of the day going forward, I'll have to give them my 33 cents worth
if I want to be efficacious. However comma the metrics of the calculus
of my own annoyance/benefit ratio say just pay them 2 cents in today's
pennies - and then hope I don't find myself on a slippery slope.
