mr r.Olivaw runing away from the Amadiros robots, but with very difficult face in view of 1th law of robotics (at the another side r.Giskard do the same)

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.

Has anyone read Nemesis? How is it?

[petemcvries23]

the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.

DIRECT ACTION

[themyskira]

Cockies are mad destructive buggers! Here’s a quote from Tim Low’s excellent book, Where Song Began: Australia’s Birds and How They Changed the World:

“Often … their damage seems wanton. Holes dug in bowling greens, race tracks, golf courses and tennis courts make sense when you know that cockatoos like to chew grass roots on dry days. But what about snipping off and dropping bunches of grapes, decapitating flowers in flower farms, ringbarking almond trees by the hundred, pulling nails from roofs, breaking lights at ovals, ‘vandalising’ verandahs and picnic tables, blacking out houses by severing cables, and tearing holes in walls? A fire was blamed on a corella chewing a cable, while a winemaker lost 800 of 1400 newly planted vines. … To stop them breaking expensive light bulbs on the spire of the Melbourne Arts Centre, a major city attraction, a trained eagle and falcon were brought in. …

“Cockatoos are probably the only birds in the world that kill trees by direct action. … In southern Queensland, on long stretches of the Condamine River, they attracted blame for eucalypt deaths during drought in the 1990s. On farms, valued paddock trees die when galahs gnawing bark around their nest holes ringbark whole trees. In Victoria blue gum plantations are destroyed when cockatoos tear open saplings for witchetty grubs.”

Just look at this smug bastard’s face!

This tweet read me to filth

I like to think Kid Cosmic and Wander Over Yonder happen in the same universe :)

I watched Wander Over Yonder for the first time recently and it got me good, super fun cartoon that I highly recommend!

Asimov novels could have some of the most beautifully written passages and then have the most unhinged, off guard moments in the same page. There is no in between.
