Also the idea that humans and bipedal robots somehow share a half marathon record is exceedingly stupid

This is huge as well

Doesn’t feel fear, doubt, pain, elation, who cares

Ship Collisions Prompt Navy Research into Sleep Deprivation While two destroyer collisions last year were determined to be the result of human error, sleep deprivation was cited.

Years ago there was a great feature I'll never be able to find again about how basically no one in the U.S. Navy ever gets anything close to proper sleep, which was blamed for a couple deadly collisions with other ships. Here' the TLDR: www.military.com/dodbuzz/2018...

Breaking!!

The court issued an interim stay already on the separatist case heard this week! 👏

This the day after the NDP hitched its brand to the "stay" campaign in the separatist referendum.

Leger has the Alberta NDP 17 points behind the UCP.

As an aside, this is the first time I've heard a lawyer suggest a judge (Feasby) ruled the way he did because he was tired and mad
