  1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67354709?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark Man crushed to death by robot in South Korea A man has been crushed to death by a robot in South Korea after it failed to differentiate him from the boxes of food it was handling, reports say. The incident occurred when the man, a robotics company employee in his 40s, was inspecting the robot. The robotic arm, confusing the man for a box of vegetables, grabbed him and pushed his body against the conveyer belt, crushing his face and chest, South Korean news agency Yonhap said. He was sent to hospital but later died. According to Yonhap, the robot was responsible for lifting boxes of peppers and transferring them onto pallets. The man had been checking the robot's sensor operations ahead of its test run at the pepper sorting plant in South Gyeongsang province, scheduled for 8 November, the agency adds, quoting police. The test had been originally been planned for 6 November, but was pushed back by two days due to problems with the robot's sensor. The man, a worker from the company that manufactured the robotic arm, was running checks on the machine late into the night on Wednesday when it malfunctioned.
  2. Since I took up golf during Covid, I have only fished once on the coast. It was 42 degrees, 25 north winds, and not surprisingly, I got skunked. So I have absolutely no intelligence on what the reds and trout are doing. I don't even know if my usual POC/Seadrift spots are still producing. I'm looking for some intelligence on POC/Seadrift areas: Shoalwater, The Lagoon, Barroom. Not looking for specific spots although I wouldn't ignore them if you shared , but any advice on how and where to pattern them would be GREATLY appreciated. If you don't want to post it publicly and want to message me, that's great too. Thanks in advance.
  3. why does that look like it was filmed through a potato?
  4. If Ohio St wants him, I'm not questioning the offer or the take, hopefully.

  9. I missed my air bus, Imma walk out on the tarmac and make them let me on.
  10. Can a person not believe in him and still be allowed in the bitching afterlife techno club?
  11. I mostly only visit places which have readily available parking. If I have to pay for parking, then the place better have some compelling reason for me to have to pay for parking. If it has no easy parking, I'm prob not spending money there. Good for them if they can survive without having parking lots.
  12. I want to find and shoot the asshole who programmed almost all detectors to only ever lose battery and chirp at 2AM on a weekday.
  13. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/11/02/austin-minimum-parking-requirements-housing-shortage/ Austin on Thursday became the largest city in the country to stop requiring new developments to have a set amount of parking — a move aimed at both fighting climate change and spurring more housing construction amid the city’s affordability crisis. The Austin City Council voted 8-2 Thursday to wipe out minimum parking requirements for virtually every kind of property citywide. That includes single-family homes, apartment buildings, offices and shopping malls. Housing advocates, developers and climate activists across the country have increasingly targeted such rules. They say parking requirements — often referred to as “parking minimums” — drive up housing costs while enabling dependency on cars, a major source of carbon emissions. “I think that it's hard for reasonable people to really defend those mandates anymore,” said Tony Jordan, co-founder of Parking Reform Network. Getting rid of the requirements has its detractors. Neighborhood groups opposed to such reforms tend to worry that parking will spill over onto neighboring streets and clog traffic. “Although I think that our existing parking requirements do need reform and there are many scenarios where I would relax or eliminate parking requirements, this universal elimination of requirements is a step beyond what I consider to be prudent,” said City Council Member Alison Alter, who voted against the measure. “I'm concerned that there will be unintended consequences in scenarios that create real problems for navigating areas where residential uses abut commercial uses, particularly in areas that have older, narrow streets.” Getting rid of the requirements doesn’t mean the city is abolishing parking altogether, Qadri said. Developers still can decide how much parking they need, he said. And the city will still require properties to comply with federal law and build accessible parking spaces for people living with disabilities. “If we truly want to achieve our progressive goals of making Austin a less car-dependent city, we cannot be forcing developers to provide car storage in every single new project that goes up in our city limits,” Qadri said. Nixing parking minimums is one component of a multi-pronged effort to relax rules that many say get in the way of adding housing in a city where home prices and rents remain stubbornly high. Austin officials are also weighing proposals to allow up to three housing units in most places where single-family homes are allowed and reducing the required amount of land those homes have to sit upon.
  14. It was God's will to test your faith in him, or someshit.
  15. Uvalde school shooting? If so, what did "God" have to do with that?
  16. Praying to "God" and rubbing a rabbit's foot for luck are the same thing. The only difference is that the first is practiced by book clubs.
  17. Everyone asks and assigns "some thing" to events beyond their control. Whether it be luck, your version of god, ancestors, dead cat, good luck charm, whatever, people have and always will be looking for something mystical and magical to assist in some way. It helps people cope and deal with the bullshit that life throws at them.
  18. Doesn't get more Christian than hiding your money and where it's coming from! Fucking bullshit "christians" ruining this country. Fuck them.
