  • Somebody gained a job programming and servicing that mow-bot; maybe even a whole team. Maybe the original driver wrote the path and manages it now.

    I get the sentiment, and agree that there’s value in keeping labor jobs reserved for people who need them, but using automation isn’t inherently evil.

    When my company moved our production operations to automatic lines and robots, they promoted everyone to machine operators, taught new skills, and paid out more. It may not be the way every company handles the change, but it can be done, and it’s a better path forward than forcing people to accept a life of hard labor.





  • both spellings are acceptable. the definition of “curb” as a verb is also consistent with its function as a noun. the difference is cultural, since “kerb” is only the preferred spelling in some places outside of english-speaking areas of North America.

    “the city installed a kerb on the roadway to curb dangerous incidents of motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic”

    “spelt” follows the same geographical distinction, as “spelled” is the preferred spelling for American english.

    still, “kerby” is clearly the better pun, so thank you for that.




  • I just played through the Prime-hack version on PC, and the mouse + keyboard combo is much more natural for me to enjoy it. Morph ball mode is still a bit difficult to control, but it didn’t bother me so much that I couldn’t still finish the game at 100%

    Updated textures and HUD and widescreen with a custom field of view were also big improvement
