It's sunny and 70 here!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's 50 degrees right now, after a high of 84 just 2 days ago. My sinuses are officially on strike. I have such a damn headache and it will not go away. Not a migraine, but not going anywhere, all the same. (My mom just told me on FB to have more coffee because the caffeine might help, and that if it's too late in the day for me to have caffeine, then I should have wine at bedtime to help me sleep. Ladies and gentleman, my family.)

I'm surprised by these responses! [link]
Huffington Post and YouGov conducted a survey asking 1000 respondents all sorts of robot-related questions. Would you like to have a robot as a servant? Forty-two percent said no. Would you let a robot care for an aging relative or friend? Fifty-eight percent said no. But would they have sex with a robot?
Just 9% said yes while 81% said no and 11% couldn’t decide. Or perhaps that 11% were too busy trying to figure out how it would work.

I mean, isn't a vibrator basically sort of a robot?

I think "robot" implies a certain amount of automation.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
What is wrong with 42% of people? In a lot of those cases, though, details matter.
Ok, people who travel more than I do, I need advice. I'm getting my "going to Europe" clothes together. I'm doing skirts and tights throughout and have a sweater and a jacket. I'm there from mid-June through mid-July and not going farther south than Paris-ish. I am lead to believe that temps will top out at about 70.
Bearing in mind that I have a small amount of packing space, what mix of long sleeves, short sleeves, and tanks would you recommend?

That was my initial thought. Then my second thought was, isn't a Roomba supposed to be a robot?
Shit, I want robots doing everything!

Granted, I do not have the parts, but that doesn't look comfy to me.
I want a robot.

ISTG. I got an email that was timed 3:09, asking if I was available to talk at 3. This was a reply to an email I sent Wednesday giving my availability yesterday and today (in response to the original sender's question). People, man.
