Really appreciate you delivering the quality content, man! 👍🏻🙂
Good lineup as always, Infidel! That group projects one is entirely accurate.
A robot dog joining the police? Brings to mind the Mechanical Hound from Bradbury's classic FAHRENHEIT 451. And a submarine on Titan is an amazing idea--just remember that Titan's "seas" are made of liquid methane. But it might be easier to do that than to send a sub to explore the water under the ice of Europa.
We'll see how things go--but I wouldn't put it past the scientists and engineers to come up with something amazing.
Bolsonaro is evil. Really.
I did not know that about German witches!!!
And the story about the guy on the phone going to get the vaccine? It happens all the time.
XOXO
Hot: I aim to please.....
Debra: That's my feeling about group projects as well.
Marc: A robot sub would be achievable, I'm sure. It's the same principle as the Mars rovers, just adapted to a different medium (as the Mars helicopter is). It would be the next big step forward in space exploration.
Sixpence: Bolsonaro is Brazil's Trump, and has done similar damage to his country. I don't know what it is about smartphones that seems to bring out the asshole in people.
