Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Panasonic's dishwashing robot makes cooking bearable
Nobody likes doing the dishes. Everybody knows that. Which is why I love the fact that Panasonic is putting money and time into developing a robot that does them for us.
Sure, this first prototype isn't the most impressive thing I've ever seen. It's basically an arm and a hand that's sensitive enough to not break glass, mounted on a rail for moving back and forth over a counter. It's all controlled by a camera, and it looks primitive at best. But hey, maybe in a few years we'll be able to sit back at the end of a meal and allow a robot to do all the chores. Just like in the Jetsons! We can only hope.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
That was a good one. I ripped a guy in high school for saying something like that once. Just tore into him with seventeen years of misplaced aggravation(Philip Roth still claims this ought to be Yiddish, btw) Of course all I got for it is "Damn! You're not even Jewish, are you?" It was still worth it.

I'd be concerned about the dishwashing robot and the Roomba teaming up against the household humans.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm picturing The Daily Show clip in my head right this minute.

Drunkest Guy Ever, Silent Film Version (VIDEO)
On its own, this priceless minimart security footage of a clearly inebriated man trying to buy more beer (POSTED BELOW) is pretty hilarious. Whoever added the old-timey music and silent film captions just put the icing on the cake. Whether you love old Chaplin films or just enjoy observing the belligerently wasted, this video will make anyone laugh.

Our Buffista teachers may find this study interesting:
I'm not sure who could have thought that "errorless learning" would work as a teaching method, but the UCLA study reminds me of the time that my Dad put an unsolvable geometry problem on our final exam just "to see how we would approach it".
I guess they are right about remembering things better and longer because I still remember how pissed I was that I wasted 30 minutes on that problem.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

If Spike takes over this show too as a result, I am going ballistic.
