couldn't pick one quote from this page about the world's first bipedal robot, which was built in 2006 and doesn't actually walk

ed: this one's probably the best

The Sakakibara Kikai Company researchers in Japan built the Land Walker to initially be used in exhibits and demonstrations, as it is not yet the perfect robot. For now it shoots soft rubber balls from its two cannons, but someday it could shoot out more severe weapons, like bullets and bombs.

quote:

Also, the technology and use of these mecha indicate their feasibility for military use.... The robots can be made to climb over terrain and obstacles that military tanks cannot cope with. Moreover, these giant robots have heights greater than humans and can see over humans and look down upon opponents, further aiding the military.

i like this page just in general. it's about a huge aircraft cannon the soviets built that is comparable to the GAU-8 on the A-10 warthog

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryazev-Shipunov_GSh-6-30

broke: designing a whole new airplane around your enormous cannon, offsetting the gun and landing gear so that the recoil forces are always in line with the plane's thrust axis, mounting it on hydraulic shock absorbers that allow it to hit within a 20-foot circle at 4,000 feet when fired from a moving airplane

woke: building the same gun but just bolting it on whatever plane you have available, resulting in offset firing loads and recoil forces so high that the plane's control surfaces jam, the reflector sight shatters, the instrument panel detaches from the cockpit and the explosive canopy jettison mechanism goes off

In the end, it's the Swedish bank that holds Nobel's inheritance and performs the steps in his will - which is handing out the prizes. Sadly, being a bank, they're in a prime position to hand out a prize of their own at the same time.

Nobel, feeling regret for the people who had died due to his invention of dynamite, came up with the idea of the prizes in order to try and convince people to make the world better for everyone. He specifically chose categories that he thought would have a direct net positive effect on society as a whole.

The categories he chose are certainly debatable, yes. But economy absolutely does not belong with them, goes directly against his will, and Nobel probably turns in his grave every time someone calls it the 'economy Nobel prize'.

Another fun fact is that while most Nobel prize winners are chosen by Swedish committees of experts, the bank managed to outsource the handling of the Peace Prize to a Norwegian committee. I believe that's the smartest move they've ever done. The peace Prize is often the most controversial, and if the 'wrong' person ever gets one, their enemies will likely bomb Oslo instead of Stockholm.

Test audience reactions led to several minor changes before the film was released. Originally, it was clear that Carmen was torn between Rico and Zander. Test audiences, regardless of gender, strongly felt that a woman could not love two men at once, so scenes which portrayed this were cut. These audiences also felt it was immoral for Carmen to choose a career ahead of being loyal to Rico, to the extent that many commented that, in so doing, Carmen should have been the one to die instead of Dizzy. While admitting it may have been a bad commercial decision not to change the film to accommodate this, the directors did cut a scene from after Zander's death where Carmen and Rico kiss, which the audience believed made the previous betrayal even more immoral.

The guy who responded to the airline springing extra baggage fees on him by shooting out the airplane's tires is a goddamn hero

quote:

The announcement trailer was met with a backlash from some fans of the series who criticized the game for a lack of historical accuracy and authenticity. Complaints were given to the use of certain weapons, prosthetics, and body art as being very uncommon in that time period.[10] Others responding to critiques of the historicity of women on the front line have pointed out female soldiers did participate in World War II, highlighting real-life examples, and that previous games in the Battlefield series are not seen as a completely realistic portrayal of war. Critiques then responded that they were angry due to the unrealistic portrayal of women in the game, as the overwhelming majority of soldiers in WW2 were male.
