A Human-Like Robot

Humans are so worried about being replaced by robots they often overlook the good parts of artificial intelligence, the human-like parts that don't involve stealing jobs or killing all humans.

Because, as this Safely Endangered comic shows, robots who think more like humans end up acting more like humans, and the day they discover they never have to leave their house again is the day they cease to be a threat.

A Prockle wedge, used for calibrating shim-tuckers in the krestining phase of base lifting. I worked
as a trable wacker in the Nova Scotia melding pits one summer and wore out three wedges until I learned how to do it right. Never clack-slat to the left of the shim break!

The brass ones were the best, I had to use the malachite models because I was new and inexperienced.

THe screw part means it's going to stop whatever you're trying to scrape when it butts up against that wood edge when it's screwed in. Odd. It looks like it's just supposed to plane a little off the edge of something, like flooring that's supposed to fit under the edge of a wall.

It looks like some sort of smasher. The metal strip looks as though it gives a spring loaded action downwards. I wonder if the top is parallel to the bottom for a reason. The nut just on top of the metal strip looks as though it was made to turn.

Hmmm, the size of the lag on the end, where it screws into something, suggests it could hold a bit of weight.

Hmmmmm......
