How Are Robots Being Used In War?

 2 months ago - 2 answers

One of the main problems with war is that people die. Even when your team's doing well. Clubs, stones, knives, arrows, tar, guns, dynamite, gas, grenades, missiles, bombs; man has tried everything. And still people keep dying.

But now we are in the future.

And in the future the one thing none of us need, for pretty much anything, is man. We do, unfortunately, still need war.

Which leads us to the quite ridiculous and rather horrifying prospect of a world where computers play each other for us. And you thought robots were cute, didn't you?

Still, thankfully, it seems we are some way away from full-scale robot warfare where man is left standing on the sidelines cheering 'Go Robot... Go Robot Go'. But it is happening. The robots are beginning to take over the asylum. And here's how:

Vending machines are typically known as the best place to get an overpriced bottle of soda, or some chips that never quite replace the 2 meals you’ve missed that day. In our narrow way of thinking, we tend to think of vending machines as small, mechanized snack food dispensaries and nothing more. We in the Western world tend to be a little unimaginative with our vending machines. We think a vending machine with a credit card slot is a massive leap forward when it’s not even close to the astoundingly strange, yet magnificently cool vending machines that are actually out there.

Here are some of them.

A biological washing powder contains enzymes which break down stains and dirt whilst in the wash.  A non-biological washing powder does not contain these enzymes and this is the major difference.

Biology Big Brother
Sometimes the enzymes may be artificially created so that they are more able to remove stains, particularly ones which are very deep and dried on to the fabric.  

Some people with very sensitive skin may find it better to use a non-biological powder, although this may not be as effective at getting rid of stains !  

In terms of the environmental impact, neither system is perfect.  Whilst the enzymes contained in a biological wash powder may take longer to disperse within the environment, the temperatures for washing can be lower than for  read more...

For some people keeping an ordinary pet is unthinkable. They would no more settle for a kitten as a pet than some people would chose to drive a mini-van. It’s all about finding a companion that is as unique as they are, and in this quest many chose exotic critters that are as dangerous as they are rare.

Alligators and CaimansAwww how cute! Sort of.  I suppose.  People like these?

Alligators and Caimans start off life as adorable little guys who look just darling as they hiss try to gnaw on your thumb. They fit in the palm of your hand and are just ugly enough to be cute, thus avoiding the fate of becoming matching luggage or a Hollywood starlet’s new purse.

The trouble is, they don’t stay tiny and darling.  No matter what that seedy pet salesman tells  read more...

What Is A Sea Cucumber?

 3 years ago - 1 answer

Sea cucumbers are part of the Holothuroidea family and can be found on the seabed in oceans/seas throughout the world.  Despite their name suggesting they look like cucumbers, they look more like slugs although they are slightly more sausage shaped and they often have a very warty skin.

Ed Bierman
They are basically scavengers, who live on the sea bed and eat debris which drifts down there, usually plankton. They are an interesting animal because they basically breathe in through drawing water through their anus and then expelling it.

Within the cuisines of the far east, in particular Japan, they are considered a great delicacy.  In Russia they are also 'farmed' to maximize production.

They are also regarded as having great healing properties within Eastern medicine.  Recently  read more...
