I'm entirely with you on that. I go to great pains to keep the true depths of weird nonsense rattling around in my head under careful lock and key, and having anyone able to read my thoughts would be horrifying.
Tried a new restaurant for dinner last night. Food was decent (not remarkable, but we were starving). We won't ever go back, though, because despite promises of food being safe for those with gluten allergies, I was up most of the night dealing with ouch! ouch! ouch! pain of a gluten reaction.
Unlike my shellfish allergy which means hospital or epi-pen, the gluten reaction is like getting hit with the flu x15. Just all-over mega body aches. The kind where you can't get comfortable.
This has made me grumpy this morning, though I'm feeling much better physically.
To cheer myself up, I'm going to jam away on my WIP until it's done. Maybe one more chapter.
This is not okay!
s to everyone who's feeling crappy. s to anyone else who wants one too because OH MY FRIG the whole not being allowed to hug people who would certainly appreciate it during therapy causes me to like build up some kind of stockpile of affection that is mostly being dispensed on plush animals atm. Kevin Warwick from Reading University. I saw him speak last July - scary and fascinating and seriously scary. Really awesome applications for people with motor-neurone diseases, though, as the tech advances. We saw videos of his more recent projects - robots controlled with lab-grown brain cells and they're learning. He doesn't have implants any more, though.
I hope you complained
That is awesome, but so damn lame at the same time. That's like naming a British superhero "Union Jack" or something, you'd just never... oh god damn it comics industry!
I don't follow comics, only comic book film or TV adaptations, and even then it's pretty loose. Before the films started coming out I probably couldn't have even told you who was in the Avengers.
The only one of those names I recognise is Alan Moore. And even then, that is only because of Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Mostly V for Vendetta.
I can tell you is in the Avengers in the Marvel movie-verse. In the comics? Not a hope in Hell. Because yeah, comic book teams tend to change line-ups ridiculously quickly. I swear at least half of the Marvel universe's superheroes have been in some variation of the Avengers at some point by now.
's bionics, "Having artificial body parts, esp. electromechanical ones." Robotics is the technology used and cybernetics (or, biomechatronics, but they seem to be related, if not the same field) is the study of the human/bionic hybrid. A human with electro-mechanical parts is a cyborg in scientific terms. Cyberware refers to the parts themselves (devolved into headware and bodyware).
Any use?
Now, he did say they're controlled by something like a cluster of 35000 cells (and rats have slightly under 2000x more than that, if wikipedia is right and I've done the math OK), so it's a bit like running Pong next to a PC from 10 years ago, but it still bothers me, because there's no knowing how self-aware it is or will become.
It learns not to run into the walls of its run...
Things that make me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, now my book just became really interesting. Thank you I will check this guy out, I'm pretty sure they are doing similar reasearch at the university here in town, I know they are working with some cyborg type stuff, how far they've gotten I'll have to check up on that.

Eh, comics in general just aren't really something I'm massively interested in. The closest I've come is loving V for Vendetta, and quite liking Hellboy. I tried to get into more proper superhero comics twice (once because I thought watching a lot of AT4W meant I must like them in some way) and one because of the DC reboot but I quickly found out I don't watch AT4W because I like or care about comics, I just like hearing funny people be snarky about things.
