MIT’s Cheetah robot runs faster & more efficiently

Robotic Greyhound Races are closer than you think. From Engadget:

At the recent International Conference on Robotics and Automation, the Institute of Technology showed of its newest version, which reached a top speed of 13.7 mph. To accomplish this, the runner still needs parallel support bars to constrain movement in one dimension, reducing any roll, yaw — and the chances of a pretty expensive fall. The team says the new version’s cost of transport (COT is power consumption divided by weight, times velocity) is around 0.52. In comparison, Honda’s Asimo has a hefty COT of 2.

I realized how Dr. Horrible kinda paralleled Eridan/Sollux/Feferi (from Er’s pov at least) and actually contemplated a slideshow song video but nah.
Here’s this.

Sometimes I just wonder about this kid. What creates a person who will accept all your hate with a smile

Being abandoned by what was meant to be his caretaker and companion. That sort of thing very often creates a complex. Because they want so desperately not to be alone, they’ll put up with and/or excuse being mistreated and abused.

please don’t make me cry over gamzee pLEASE

for the pesterlogs he’s high off his ass

dealing with caliborn he’s designed a cult mentality for himself

why are you all obsessed with giving him a background he doesn’t have

Made a thing for a thread and ended up really liking it so here.
My phone’s lockscreen, homescreen, and search to show off the keyboard.
This was fun, I’d do it for other people, I’m gonna go bother Blakey about things like this

My favorite thing to do

cryaotic:

Going to a restaurant, having a good waiter/waitress, and tipping them 100+.

I made her cry.

And my sister got a free cheesecake out of it.

What a good night.

it’s more fun when it’s all in dimes

when I use anti-perspirant my body collects all the held-in sweat from that area and moves it and excretes it right outside of the area where I applied anti-perspirant

I

I don’t know anything anymore

this inevitably leads to my covering my entire body in anti-perspirant and then swelling to inevitable explosion

she looks exactly like her dad!

Im not crying its my allergies. Im allergic to childhood pains

I’M ACTUALLY CRYING

I hope she ends up with a show someday at least as successful as her father’s.

Some people hated him for some silly reason or another I don’t remember, but he raised so much awareness of wildlife and conservation and left such a void in our popular culture…what the hell do we have now? Hillbilly huntin’ n’ killin’ hour on Animal Planet?

Whoa I’m getting choked up I need to reblog this fast so I’ll stop looking at it

Jeeeeeeesus. I know. I get choked up every time I see a picture of him so you can imagine what a mess I was seeing this. This really shows how long it’s been too. I can’t believe how old she is. ;. ;

This guy was like my hero when i was younger, i love him. 

His daughter looks just like him! She’s so pretty, and i hope she does a show just like her dads. I miss good shows like her dad’s it actually taught us something.

THIS GUY WAS MY FUCKING HERO

IT’S TOO LATE NOW YOU GOT ME STARTED

EVERY DAY I’D COME HOME FROM SCHOOL AND RUSH TO WATCH HIM

HE SHOWED ME HOW ANIMALS WERE FUCKING AMAZING AND THE WORLD WAS FILLED WITH AWESOMENESS THAT YOU COULDN’T HELP BUT DETOUR AND EXPLORE

AND CREATURES ARE VALUABLE AND INCREDIBLE, AND NOT “EVEN” BUT ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONES, THEY AREN’T FOR SQUISHING YOU PROTECT THEM WHICH MADE A LOT OF SCENES AT THE PLAYGROUND BUT IT WAS WORTH IT

ON SAINT PATRICK’S DAYS MY CARDS HAD THE STORY OF SAINT PATRICK’S DAY DRAWN ON THEM BUT WHO DO YOU THINK WAS DRIVING THE SNAKES OUT HUH? OBVIOUSLY STEVE IRWIN WAS THE BEST AT THAT WITH HIS BACKPACK AND GLASSES AND SNAKE STICK

and he cared about all the animals and we went all over the world together after school and the world is a beautiful amazing place and I want to see every single inch of it and say hi to everything even if it wants to kill me because it can’t help it and that’s beautiful too.

fuckin’ Steve Irwin, man

the principal at my school made an announcement yesterday that the girls need to start covering up and then i found this in the hallway

I agree that this is pretty stupid
no one was publicly shamed, get over yourself
if guys wore ridiculously short shorts they’d be told to cover up too, every school I’ve ever heard of has had a dress code including no ridiculously short shorts
