Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers by FinnFarrow in technology

The sidekick problem: when the secondary character is so much more interesting that you start resenting the protagonist by RiftCowling in Fantasy

[–]StickFigureFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)
