Hypothesis: Training data included over-corrective folks ("Punctuation Police" we'll call them for now) online and had concluded that this type of response was somehow relevant to the summary.

"It's all the artist's fault for making me feel entitled to their style for free!" is a hell of a take.

Maybe let’s get the word out on this again, for no reason in particular.

Reminds me of Dead Island when a friend and I were driving to that guy's garage and we thought "Just ram the zombies at the door!"
Zombies got shoved *THROUGH* the door into the building. We had to kill them all to get into the building, but couldn't, because it wouldn't open 'til they were dead. :V

Funny how up until now, the only response has been from some slop-slinger saying "not interested" as if this post were intended for them to enjoy. :V

I only even used hay bales as an example in the first place because it's an incredibly difficult material/object to handle. It's heavy, awkward, and packed full of incredibly stiff, abrasive material, so I figured it was a good enough question to ask in terms of gripper durability.

*I point this out because so far, much of the demos I've seen for humanoids in factories/warehouses has them shuffling or stomping around just to pick up and move things around, which is cool, sure, but... Useful? Efficient?

tfw it's been acknowledge for years that industrial work for humanoid robots is redundant* because industrial robots are often highly optimized and factories built to accomodate them, but you suggest a humanoid carrying hay bales and suddenly it's "tHeRe ArE aLrEaDy MaChInEs FoR tHaT".

I was surprised when I bought a replacement battery from some eBay shop, and it also had the tools and glue patches in it. I don't remember anything in the description saying it had any of those. :V

Sad that Bill "billionaires should be put down like rabid dogs" Burr has voluntarily become the "circus" part of the "bread and circuses" equation.
"Hey, all these other billion-dollar companies sold out to the Saudis for blood money, so why shouldn't I?" JFC, Bill.

I'm fully aware of that, it's just this card wasn't exactly used all that much to begin with, and the timing among everything else just felt like some kind of "Rube Goldberg Device of Fate" that made the entire thing WAY more frustrating than it needed to be. :V

And it's more than just gaming. As trash as Autodesk is, I still use Fusion360 for what limited things it allows me to do with the "I'm too broke to even be a student"-tier of "free" they offer, and whether or not that would work is also a concern because I've tried FreeCAD, and... Yeah...

God, and then there's the whole "Which distro?" argument which, every time I see it, only serves to remind me why Linux hasn't really taken off more.
"Have you tried Gentoo?" "You should use Arch!" "No, Debian!" "Just use Mint!" "No, Cinnamon!" "If you're gaming you should use X!" "No, Y!"

Basically, what should have taken me over-all 20-30 minutes from download to etching to configuration, ended up taking me *OVER TWO DAYS* of constant hair-pulling frustration with all the errors and problems I was having, and google being, naturally, minimal help.
