I assumed that wasn't a real show, just fake promos designed to make me giggle during Forged in Fire commercial breaks.

I don't think it would be easy to make a spoof of the show that's as hilarious as the show itself.

I might need to have a look then.
Thanks!

Watch the whole thing from the first episode of the first series, though.
I mean, what makes you so special that you should suffer less than the rest of us?

When I was a kid the evil monkeys in "Oz" gave me the willies for months, but this thing ...Quote: Raibert describes Handle as an “experiment in combining wheels with legs, with a very dynamic system that is balancing itself all the time and has a lot of knowledge of how to throw its weight around.” He adds that using wheels is more efficient than legs, although there’s obviously a trade-off in terms of maneuvering over uneven ground. “This is the debut presentation of what I think will be a nightmare-inducing robot,” says Raibert:
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

last time the world went to war, the Germans and Japanese lost (and a few allies were smacked down too).
Next time the world goes to war, the world will loose.
(Is that a draw then?)

I've always said that we (Catalans/Spaniards) are far from any interesting place so we are relatively safe...
Nowadays we are not safe anywhere...
Last week I read something like "this is the worst moment in humankind history as we have the power to destroy the world but not the capability to leave it".
No idea who said that, but seems from Hawkins (or from Sheldon) but it looks mostly right...
But let's be optimistic and hope war will not happen at least the next 200 years... I think this will be OK for most of the guys/girls here no way we will live that long drinking coffee and programming...

Marvel at the APOD's posted by R. Giskard Reventlov, and realize how insignificant our existence really is.
Dammit, now I don't feel like getting up tomorrow, what difference would it make?

Well, what would be left could only loosely be called "world", so I guess loose works too in this case!

While I do agree Einstein isn't correct in some areas, the more you come to understand him, the more you come to understand just how far ahead of his time he was. It's always easy looking back after humanity advanced somewhat to pick out things he's incorrect about... in a few hundred years we may be saying the same thing about Hawking or anyone else for that matter. However, the man was truly gifted intellectually and the world is a better place for his existence.
Anyway, what you speak of is the reasons most wars are started, that and religion. But his quote refers to weapons. So it doesn't quite invalidate the quote, which is about him not fully aware of the weaponry that'll be used.
Edit... and I say this as a person who does not agree with some of his ideologies surrounding war or relationships.

This is not some quaint little Chinese Curse.
Think about who controls this now and dig into your thesaurus.
How about: terrifying, horrifying, terror-inducing...

Have any of you seen that original Star Trek that visited a planet where all wars were done by simulation.
The simulation decided who got killed in the war.
The unlucky ones were march off to killing chambers.
Leaves the planet intact, reduces the population of both sides, etc.
