Glue holds us all together right

I don't trust electronics too much because my atomic clock still hasn't leaped forward.

 

[psalms 91]

I dont rust electronics either

Not as stupid as the people who drive off piers because their GPS didn't explicitly tell them to wait for the boat, or the people who walk off cliff edges because they were following the GPS that said the edge wasn't for another 50 feet.

Are those cases real? They sound way too much like "urban legends".

If such examples are real then the persons involved appear to have even less intelligence than the devices that led them to the dire straits described in your post.

Cant believe anyone would do that

It does seem unlikely but people can be remarkably silly sometimes.

I read them in the news over the years, can't say I bothered to verify because I wasn't sufficiently bothered either way.

A recurring problem in some UK villages is when honking great trucks get stuck in narrow lanes because the driver followed the sat-nav that didn't realise his truck wouldn't fit through the lanes. A few places took to installing signs to tell truckers not to follow sat-nav systems down the lanes, but of course a large part of the problem was with foreign drivers who didn't know what the new sign meant.

As the saying goes, when someone makes a foolproof system someone else goes and makes a better quality fool.

So true

I think I would like a robot helper in the house. Somebody (something?) to do what I cannot and what I prefer not to do ... mind you, if a robot were like a person then I would not ask it to do what I prefer not to do.

I wanted a robot vacuum cleaner since I have rabbits, but they're little vaccum cleaners themselves. My goodness, if I don't watch out they eat absolutely everything. My son had dropped his salami on the floor and one was eating salami, had to get it out of his mouth quick.

Try keeping a cat. Not only do they attack just about anything that falls on the floor but they are quick too.

My bunny may not be that fast, but he's eating the cracker now that one of my neat and tidy sons threw under the couch.

My cat pounces on just about anything we drop in the kitchen. Which gets tedious, if we drop a small piece of onion or garlic or something that's being cut up. If the cat pounces often it's before we even realise we dropped something, so we have to grab him and make sure he hasn't got anything he shouldn't have. And then having handled the cat we have to wash our hands (again) before we continue handling the food.

hahahahahahaha really? My I had a spoiled cat then. He only wanted meat and whipped cream.

Our cat thinks just about anything that swings, hangs or dangles is a mouse. Zip tags, shoelaces, hoodie tags, straps on backpacks, you name it, he thinks it's a mouse and attacks it. If something falls on the floor, it warrants investigation as a possible mouse. He won't necessarily eat it, but you never know. One day I caught him biting at something and ended up grabbing him and forcing his mouth open. It turned out he had one of my wife's earrings. I have no idea how he got hold of it but somehow he did.
