A video on social media shows the dancing robot knocking over tableware, smashing plates, and sending chopsticks flying. An orange apron the robot is wearing reads "I'm good" in big letters across the front, perfectly adding to the chaotic scene. Staffers at the restaurant were forced to intervene. One employee can be seen holding the robot by the scruff of its neck while navigating her phone, presumably searching the bot's app for controls. In the end, it took three workers to restrain the robot, who were all forced to duck periodically to avoid being smacked by its waving and sauce-covered hands. read more

And yet:
The loss of the AWACS is "a serious blow to (US) surveillance capabilities," said CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton, a former US Air Force colonel who has flown on the aircraft.
"It can potentially impact (US) ability to control combat aircraft and vector them to their targets or protect them from engagements of hostile aircraft and missile systems," he said.
A report this month from the Center for a New American Security calls the AWACS the "quarterback" of the battlefield, "nimbly providing critical situational awareness and real-time coordination that turns individual sorties into a dominant force."
The report calls AWACS "an indispensable asset for US military operations today and for the foreseeable future."
In the current conflict, an E-3 might see an incoming Iranian Shahed drone launched 200 miles away about 85 minutes sooner than ground-based radar, Layton said.
Because they are mobile, the AWACS can move quickly to new crisis areas and present are a harder target for adversaries than fixed ground-based radars.

"Transphobic bigotry." Acknowledging that sexual dimorphism exists.
If you are talking about those beauty pageants, I agree with you.

Yes, that.
Although, Epstein's BFF Trump telling a roomful of naked underage girls "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before" (link) was probably one of the more truthful statements the pedo-in=-chief has ever uttered.

You think that science is on the side that biological males are the same as biological females? And that matters such as bone density, arm length, hip width, height, etc differences are non-existent? Sex differences in human physiology: Skeleton and Muscular System
OK. Denial ain't just a river in Kansas.
You're an idiot if you think money equates to smarts.
Does money=smart? No. He's no genius, but he's far from an imbecile. He's a con artist. Guy should be a used car salesman in any just universe. The fact that people take him for being an idiot is just part of his con-schtick.
But, like the Israel simp you are, you of course want to place blame on every other supporting actor than the main who pushed Trump into joining this war. That fact is documented.

Israel is doing what's in their best interest. Do I blame them for wanting the removal of the Iranians who begin and end every meal with "death to the Jews" and orchestrated the October 7th atrocities and been funding terrorist attacks against them for the last 40-50 years? Not really.
It was up to American voters to do what was in our best interests a little over a year ago. And we failed miserably at that. Because trans, DEI, black lady ... just like in 2016.
Trump did what Trump was always going to do. It was clear as day to anyone who was paying attention. I'm just having a good time with it.
Funny stuff!
