I've typed ,,, instead of proper ellipses before, but I always at least try to correct it before posting/sending! It's an understandable typo, but it looks wrong enough that I can't imagine not catching it.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

(By "hobby" I mean it's intended to be programmed and customized by the owner.)
Oh, and they have competitions where bipedal robots like this play soccer....

Running for office? Better run from Colbert
Lawmakers are wary of his Comedy Central show, which often gives them enough cable to hang themselves.

Man, my renormed verbal would have been an 800. (It was 780.)
