    Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They’re pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn’t stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.

    The real art lies in designing it in such a way the the destruction it will inevitably bring wrecks the building in such a way that someone entering it will find the sticks in the order that will reveal more and more ominous details.

    It looks like Adam from Evangelion. We need to put a restraining exoskeleton on it right now.

    I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It’d be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.

    man, the audio logs in Watch Dogs were a genius idea; it gives much more insight to the characters you see in the game in a natural way.

    Day 2: It seems to have shifted overnight. We are adding a continuous power source to prevent failure during unsupervised hours.

    Day 11: More items have gone missing from the lab.

    Always but a self destruct on prototypes like this! They’ll never be an iron man rebellion on my watch!

          Yes and no. It means Frosti’s daughter because her father’s name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti’s). All Icelandic “last names” work like that: made from the father’s name and ‘dottir’ or ‘son’. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost.

          It’s a patronymic, so she has it because her father’s name is “Frosti”. But that name presumably comes from “frost”.

    No, robot, the xenomorph is not the “perfect organism.” That’s a bad robot. Now let me inject more milk into your tubes here. I think I’ll call you “Ash”.
