Same could be said for using a saw, or electricity.

If its designed correctly, conforms to safety requirements, there is no real risk to human health.

Of course a not can always crash, but that should be accounted for and tested against much like go carts on a track

    I work for warehouse automation too. It absolutely works. Its just very carefully, meticulously planned. Every tiny edge case is accounted for. Hell. We measure the floor for difference in height to the mm where 3 is a big issue.

    There's lot of types of warehouse automation outside of a robot skating on the ground picking up pallets or cases or anything. As in, there are certainly automation systems that work alongside people or other different bots that absolutely thrash the throughput of a typical warehouse operation

    Walmart merely made a number of very stupid decisions when entering the automation game, but to them its drops in a bucket. They'll just move on to the next one

    As someone living in the epicenter with a 4 month old, its important to remember babies couldn't be vaccinated against measles til 1 year, and it was moved to a small dose at 6 months then another at 1 year because of this.

    The spread was caused by the selfish parents of unvaccinated kids. But let's feel some sympathy for the kids who had no choice in the matter and for the babies not old enough to receive it. The latter would be included in that percentage number.

    And also let's feel anger at the fucking idiots in charge leading this stupid anti science movement and the morons without enough brain cells to see that its a grift and put their kids at risk

    As someone who has worked with bees, not common. Most beekeepers should be keeping the queen there by maintaining the correct amount of honey store for hive size. There are queen excluder boxes you can use to protect/encourage new queens to storm, etc etc etc

    I'd never heard of wing clipping. That would be terrible. I'm frankly against using smoke with bees and have worked with a few people who also feel the same way. Buy local
