This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

Unfortunately the system has laid the framework for it to destroy itself when automation becomes ubiquitous. Imagine if y2k was inevitable but the engineers who's jobs it was to fix it hands were tied by the software company's forcing them to install more and more bugged software.

I wish you were wrong, but unfortunately I think I agree with you.
