@benroyce that was just a reconnaissance. Next time they will come with more, survivable robots, that derail the train, blow it up, and murder everyone inside.

10 years ago i would laugh

now i hear your words in grim foreboding

@tkissing Did you read the story? The train deaths could have been prevented by upgrading the crossings.

[tkissing@mastodon.social]

@brianvastag And car deaths are not?

@benroyce I love the guy’s laughter towards the end!

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@crispius @benroyce A proposal to just load up food delivery robots with bread rolls, send it through cities and passerbys can just grab one.

[chrisp@cyberplace.social]

@crispius @benroyce The front fell off

@chrisp
In the future we will hunt these things like our ancestors did gazelles on the savannah.

[gabemoralesvr@mastodon.social]

@chrisp @crispius @benroyce I've seen placed in Colorado which have these fridges popped up where people can put in food and others can freely take it.

[bruce@darkmoon.social]

@benroyce

I'm sorry. Was that not a reasonable place to park?
