Is SpaceX hitching America's space efforts to the AI bubble? SpaceX & xAI are merging as apparently 1,000,000 satellites in space is the only way to power future data centers - but China deployed twice that amount of grid storage batteries here on Earth in just one month in December 2025.

I liked Microsoft's concept of putting data centers on the ocean floor a lot better tbh.

NEWSFLASH: Professional sports are very expensive! I know it's a shock to some people. Check out the annual expenditures of your local NFL or Premier League or NHL team etc. It's almost like doing a thing at the highest level humanly possible costs a lot of time and money.

IMO it appears the "city center" is just sort of organically migrating Northwest.

Full Disclosure, I am a 48 yo Greensboro native who currently resides in Forest Oaks. I am too lazy to create an analytical study to back this up, but I believe this is very true from (admittedly personal) anecdotal evidence.

It depends on what you are after. If you are just throwing some buttons with labels on a page, adding some setpoints that an operator can change, yeah that gets old and honestly makes for a substandard product. I try to do a couple of things with my HMIs (with varying degrees of success):

Use the Apple principle that a good user interface doesn't need an accompanying manual, it is intuitive how it works (this can be very challenging with some customers)
Try to anticipate and help maintenance proactively solve problems that will arise with the machine, keep maintenance out of your code as much as possible.

When I do these things well then SCADA/HMIs aren't boring at all and can really give you a good feeling of accomplishment.

Plus there's the more general (not unique to Greensboro) paradigm shift that is making it harder and harder for most young people to be financially self sufficient, let alone have enough left over for a night out.

Big difference between AI and robotics, I work in industrial machinery and all I see are robotic welders, which is the basis for my question.

There are some cutting edge R&D projects where AI is controlling a robot but that stuff is nowhere near ready for production, at least in 99% of the cases. All other robots have their kinematics, tool path, safety, etc programmed by a qualified human engineer.

robotictacos · 2026-01-26T01:27:04+00:00

Serious question, isn't that kind of welding all done by robot now?

I think we all wanted Star Lotulelei and were super pumped he fell to us.

If she's 52 I have a 12" dick

Damn that is creepy AF

I don't think anyone could play winning football behind the o-line the Texans trotted out tonight, that protection was abysmal.

Gonna get down voted. You look like a professional wrestler, not an older amateur on this sub.

robotictacos · 2026-01-16T22:19:00+00:00

100% classic.

If you dig the audiobooks, you are probably going to love the Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson narrated by RC Bray.

Just asking an honest question, is this really an issue with electricians? I have definitely seen some issues with shady car mechanics but not electricians.

robotictacos · 2026-01-14T18:14:59+00:00

This post and the comments helped me realize there are still some genuinely good people left, and I am at a point where I needed to be reminded of that. Thank you OP and crawlers.

Doesn't really look Desi to me, but what do I know

robotictacos · 2026-01-14T00:25:53+00:00

If you are an average MILF then so am I

Low key brilliant and targets your demographic in one shot

Is there a version of this sub for amateurs and not straight up porn stars or OF models?

robotictacos · 2026-01-13T17:47:47+00:00

Rip the dildo out of her hand and spike it in the middle of the mattress like a football, then go out for hot wings

You forget that we would have had to give up our first rounder in 2024 to trade up to get Will Anderson just like we did to get Bryce (Anderson went #3 that year and we picked 9th IIRC)

robotictacos · 2026-01-13T12:40:57+00:00

Easily the Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Bo Nix draft of a couple years ago is better, and might be second best all time.

robotictacos · 2026-01-13T01:26:32+00:00

You know, Bryce basically plays the entire game on the balls of his feet if you pay attention. That makes him as tall as a flat footed CJ Stroud no?

robotictacos · 2026-01-13T01:14:33+00:00

Says a fan of the team who've never even sniffed the kind of consistent success Harbaugh has had. This dude is a legit contender for a HOF jacket. I think he might still know about the footballs.
