- Tech bros who've never been in a manufacturing facility: HUMANOID ROBOTS ARE THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING!!!1 Actual manufacturing people: Can you just make the robot arms, gantry robots, and CNC machines easier to program and more reliable please?
- Santa Monica is on fire and Richmond VA has lost running water due to a snow storm. All of Puerto Rico lost power last week. Maybe we are the shit-hole country.
- I'm begging computer vision professionals to stop creating this kind of Orwellian garbage. I don't care how desperate you are for work, you can't put a price on morality. Your job as an engineer is build things that benefit humanity.Me: Just grabbing a latte NeuroSpot: You sat 18 mins, moved 2.3 meters, glanced at the counter thrice, and drank 1.5 cups. Also me: 👀
- I had to double check this using the Gimp. It is not a fake. Seeing is not believing.

- My partner: Why did you buy that stupid hard hat and high viz vest at the Silicon Valley electronics swap meet? Me: It was $15 and it guarantees me entrance into any facility in the bay area. And you call yourself a hacker. Sheeesh. I need a clipboard and some business cards.
- Let me get this straight, the planet is choking on carbon dioxide, we live in a country that lacks public transit infrastructure, and the median vehicle price is like $45k so we are going to tax cheap Chinese electric cars and solar panel imports at 100%? What the hell?

- The most successful robots ever created are dishwashers and washing machines. They have sensors, actuators, and control and thus are robots. Fight me.
- Apex Electronics of Sun Valley is a hidden gem. If you need a knob, tube, transformer, or 50 year old oscilloscope they got you covered.
