Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.

In this case, none of that applies. I do industrial programming. 99% of the ethernet networks I have to connect to don’t have a router, and nothing is running DHCP. They locked out my ability to manually change my IP address.

I encountered “lawful evil” once. My answer of “I know what the problem is. I know how to fix it. But because you have no clue about what this company actually does to make money, you took away my ability to do it. So now I’m here, wasting both our time” didn’t seem to go over very well.

You still believe this genocide in Gaza has anything to do with hostages?

I never even implied that I believe that. In fact, I’ve said nothing about my feelings on the overall conflict.

All I’ve said is that I don’t see why Hamas doesn’t return them (independent of whatever the Israeli government is doing) and take the easy PR win. The hostages are one of the main things that tempering international and internal pressure on the Israeli government.

Except it’s accomplished none of that. If anything, keeping the hostages reduces any anti-Netanyahu sentiment, as some people will view it as continued justification for the current war.

I don’t understand why Hamas doesn’t just let them go. Israel has already shown that there’s nothing to be gained from keeping the hostages. The international PR win alone would be worth releasing them at this point.

It’s probably got a lot to do with the market being relatively new. I imagine things will settle down in the coming years as producers gain real data to base demand estimates off of.

Also, I think initially some people were conflating support for legalization with actual demand. There are many people that support legalization who don’t actually use the product.

Probably just a good old fashioned presence sensor. If the sensor is triggered, there’s a “box” there, and the robot does a pre-programmed set of actions. The robot would place the box on the conveyor nicely, but if the man’s head and chest stuck out differently than the box does, robot doesn’t care. It goes to the programmed position regardless. By the time it encounters enough resistance to trigger the collision detection, the damage has already been done.
