There’s at least one YouTube channel that has a chair mounted to an industrial robot arm… so that would be a Mecha-Monopus…

Such a compelling mixture of style I love and… trunks? That grill is fantastic, but the rest of the car appears to be made from more recycled rumps than a cheep hotdog. And yet somehow I still love it.

Good luck, hopefully he responds well to the shots. I’m glad you noticed something was wrong early.

Feels like they waited just long enough for the initial controversy to die down. It’s so pathetic to see HP reduced to the tech equivalent of a pay-day-loan business.

Saving them up for the soon to be announced super-platinum streaming tier?

The return of the Disney vault awaits even more insidious DRM… which reminds me, there is some kind of secure streaming platform for the ultra wealthy, I can’t remember the name but as long as we’re manufacturing outrage here, I’m curious if any of these film were offered there at 4K?

I probably can’t find an actual answer… but I’m going to see if I can find an article on RichFlix™ so I don’t sound like an angry crank myself ;-)

Edit:

It’s called PRIMA Cinema

Pffffff how much does a bananna cost anyway, $20? It’s chump change, a set of matching luggage for the Bentley costs half that.

But yeah, I think the thumb print scanner was a bit much ;-)

You don’t seem to be looking for the answer coldbrew, but it’s coldbrew.

Every time I hear “the FBI weapons lab in Quantico, Virginia” I think of that episode of The Simpsons, where Bart picks out the crossbow from the school’s secret the room of confiscated items :-)

What one item would you fine folks pick if given the chance?

I was thinking something like Jack Ruby’s pistol… something that changed history.

I think the mistake was mine in calling out that specific crime lab… you’re probably right, the only guarantee is that all the guns there have a bit of blood on them —both metaphorically and literally.

I was definitely thinking more old or weird more than murder-weapon. I half remember an old palm pistol nicknamed the lemon squeezer from a childhood book, looked a bit like the reel that’s attached to a plumb bob and chalk-line with a stubby little barrel intended to stick out between the fingers.

The other artifact that comes to mind was some kind of weird revolver like shotgun from a tour of some FBI building in Boston, MA. We never got close, they just sort of walked you past a big cage full of guns without fielding any questions.
