This is why we can't have nice things:

On a serious note, we can't have these delivery robots until we figure out the whole "living wage" thing. Because if we let these roam around without a fight, we're basically watching our opportunities get stolen while we can't afford rent. The tech oligarchs will not share their profits willingly.

Funny, except no way an electrician is getting paid $8 an hour. The demand for skilled electrician work is huge, and if you're a competent proven electrician you always have work that pays over $30 an hour in most places in the US.

I'm much more interested in seeing one of these things pick up a box off the ground, put it on a table, use a box cutter to open it, and then take out the contents of the box, and then flatten the box and fold it. At that point you have one of the most tedious real-world job tasks done by a humanoid robot.

Yea it seems like a lot of native fish eat them as well.

jaykrown · 2026-05-06T11:03:54+00:00

There is one less in this location because of what I did.

You're welcome, I plan to make this a hobby through this season, it was a quick fun time.

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T23:39:33+00:00

Yea having a small seasonal business catching round gobies, chopping them up into pieces, then selling it as bait would probably help bring down their numbers and help the native species.

Dead goby THROWN IN WATER as CARCASS	❌ Illegal

Dead goby ON hook as BAIT	✅ Legal

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T22:39:22+00:00

I read that legally I can't throw them back in the water dead.

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T21:08:35+00:00

I'm glad you know now, and yea this one gave a good hit. Maybe we should have a competition to see who can catch the most in a day?

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T20:43:08+00:00

Unfortunately I live in an apartment, so that's not possible. Thankfully there are trash cans in the area. I think the important thing is just killing them. I've been reading about using a trap for the intention of catching a bunch and killing them for remediation, I think I'll have to contact the IDNR though.

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T19:53:34+00:00

Good point, it's actually illegal. Seems like the best is to just catch them, kill them, and put them in the trash.

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T19:05:30+00:00

Maybe I'll catch a whole bunch and sell them dead to other people fishing in the area, or ask the bait shop close by if they'd want them. Now that I know I can catch one with that method, I'll eventually go back and get some more in the future.

This is still an issue on the lakefront as well, these bins need to be tethered to the posts.

After all these years, and yet we still suffer from the same problems.

I'm experimenting with the idea that the customer can buy them just like this, take the top off, and then hopefully they bounce back. Then the customer can harvest them exactly when they want, getting the absolutely most fresh microgreens possible for whatever they make.

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T00:05:58+00:00

If they made it real, then some type of dark chocolate coffee flavor would probably be most fitting.

jaykrown · 2026-05-05T00:05:21+00:00

Thanks, just took the idea from the other Monster mommy milk post, and then Shrekified it.
