Glad to hear you're back into making podcasts even if you only make episodes infrequently.
I appreciate the shift to something new. Elbows Up was for a specific moment in time.

I can imagine this being useful for "dangerous work" that requires traversing human environments.
Four example, going into a building to disarm an explosive device. If you need to ride an elevator, traverse staircases, open doors, etc. a humanoid robot is probably ideal.

The strait is lovely, dark and deep,
But I have schedules to keep,
And kilometers to go before I sleep.
And kilometers to go before I - BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Would the owner of a black BMW please return to the lower vehicle deck and disable your car alarm.

What can you see
On the horizon
Why do the white gulls call
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to ferry you home!

No human was able to have thoughts until the invention of the written language.
How our ancestors managed to invent writing systems without thinking is one of the great mysteries in field of anthropology.

CBC should do something like this. It's helpful, but as a Vancouver Islander this kinda sucks. We have 6.5 ridings on the island (one includes the mainland) but there are only 4 squares where we are on this map.
The NY Times took our NDP seat and shoved it above Vancouver.

I don't understand how this could happen with a cat either. Between behaviour and subtle unique physical features, there's no way I could mistake another cat for my own.

The source is the graph posted by Hank. Declining nuclear power is the reason it's not a lot bigger now.
Even so, I'd say it's money well-spent.

I think in Canada it's more about the threats to our sovereignty rather than the tariffs. I'm not sure it would have had the same effect up here if the same policies were implemented with less threatening rhetoric.

No one is saying humans don't have a variety of skin tones, hair colours, and facial features, etc. What they're saying is the way we perceive and group those traits into "races" is a construct.
Humans love grouping things in boxes. The things we categorize are real, but the categories are made up.
