That's an idea, except the laundry will be hot, too, right out of the dryer. That's what attracts the cats.
If it didn't need to put the clothes away the 'bot could just hang from the ceiling over the washer/dryer.
I assume you mean to be humorous, but if not, I'm worried about an 'in-home' laundry 'bot squishing my pets, not an industrial 'bot.
... it never calls in sick, it never asks for a raise, and it doesn't complain about working conditions.
Yeah, but it'll run over my cat.
Only when I observe the magnetic pattern of the sea floor, and realize we're more than 500,000 years overdue for a magnetic pole flip
The underlying process seems to be random, so we're not necessarily 500,000 years 'overdue'.
The recent weakening is 'within spec'. If it does flip, it could do so rather quickly.
There's antimatter in your body right now! Your body contains about 175g of Potassium, some of which is the radioactive isotope K-40 which sometimes decays via the release of a positron and a neutrino - positrons are antimatter!
I have a 'scope, and I have lots of practical experience with 120/240 US power systems. I challenge you to explain how you get a 120 degree phase difference on the secondary of a transformer that has a single primary winding and a center-tapped 120/240V secondary.
Look up the Celilo Converter Station and the Pacific DC Intertie for examples of HVDC in the US. I like how they used +-500kV to ground so that the insulators to the grounded tower could be smaller than if they'd used +1MV to ground.
Are you sure? Do you have a PDF-417 barcode on the back?

That app and website already exists. I don't remember what the app is right now (it's on the Android Store), but there's an app there that receives and uploads all MACs seen + GPS info + some BLE service info.
Since it's perfectly radial away form the sun, I'm gonna call it a very complex lens flare. Most lens flares I see are that odd green color, too.
They say they can predict earthquakes between 20 days and 30 days before they occur.
Two possible scenarios I can think of:
1) They issued the warning after analyzing the data from within the time window.
2) The statement "between 20 days and 30 days before they occur" may really mean "as far out as 20 to 30 days before they occur."
My rule of thumb is to NEVER go to the ER if the condition is not life-threatening. I can handle a doc-in-the-box removing a moth, and will pay a TON less.
Actually the studios axed DiVX. The agreements were for so many movies per year, and as the studios didn't want to hurt DVD sales or their own (nonexistent) streaming services, they began to provide movies like "I'm Gonna Git You Sucker", I kid you not. The DiVX platform was way ahead of its time - it was a tiny embedded JVM on its own processor that had a standard interface for the DVD player system to interact with. The same hardware ran on every single DiVX player - write (and build) once, run anywhere.
Supposedly the concept of the 'jar' file was a direct result of DiVX research.
It was a really cool idea - I could buy a disk from 7-11, toss it on the shelf, and watch it when I wanted to - no timeout on the first viewing. You could watch it as many times as you wanted to within 48 hours of the initial viewing, and be charged a buck or two thereafter (including on someone else's device). Each disk was individually serialized, so the backend always knew which disk had already been played.
