Yeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought "I'm dumb, gotta take these gloves off first." That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion...

Boston dynamics is trying to focus on research until they create a product they think has value, rather than release what they have now. AI is mostly running on hype, it's severely underdeveloped for what the media is saying it's capable of. Atlas isn't ready to be alone in an airport loading baggage. Spot, on the other hand, is ready for survey operations in hazardous areas, and has been released now that it's a viable product.

"Church's role in harming kids..."

That's a funny way to spell "church officials raping kids..."

Editorial watering down like this is disgusting. Even if it wasn't intentional, if you as the reporter aren't comfortable calling sexual abuse rape in a headline and have to water it down to "harm," that's another reason to keep it full-strength. If it makes people mad, good. The truth should make people mad in cases like this.

Technology? Who uses technology in the military?

Archaic, painstaking methods of uniform maintainence build discipline. Why would this change even in a thousand years?

This has got to be such a pain to sew when you rank up...

I'll die trying to pet something I shouldn't, and at least get to cuddle with a lion cub before mommy lion rips my throat out.

This is what too much English grammar does to one... I hardly understand myself. But nah lol that's not how I always talk, I was just trying to use perfect grammar since the whole point was to defend an unusual grammatical construct.

"Below" is used as a stranded preposition in your case (the more generally accepted usage), whereas the original post uses it at an adjective. While usage of "below" as an adjective is not universal, it is still accepted by some dictionaries. I could only find the Webster English Dictionary as an example, so I suppose it's mostly exclusive to American English. So yes, your example is the more universal mode (as well as my personal preference), but American English generally accepts the above usage as proper grammar. (The sentence above, as well as this one, demonstrate the usage of "above," a relative locus, as both an adjective and a preposition in modern English).

~~Did you by chance take this in Kentucky? I think I've been here, if not a house of the same design.~~
