Nice to hear, someone has invented a garbage can which takes itself out to curb when it's full.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

does it bring itself back when emptied?
of course with these new solar powered rfid chips, the can and its lid can be geo-located within a two inch tolerance which is sufficient for robotic retrieval but will most likely be used for fine impositions.

Hopefully you can teach it to open the backyard gate to go out without letting the dogs out of the yard.

You couldn’t convince a lot of home owners to leave leaves in their yard.

It is suggested that you run something over them to chop them up once a week but leave them in place.

Haven't raked leaves in 40 years.
Every spring they have magically
disappeared.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Holy shoots, the olds around here loose their collective s#$% about leaves. Like, genuine conniption. I don't get it. Like EB said, them s#$%s go away. Freaking relax!

But you can't "just leave em". They'll pack up and kill everything under them if allowed to pile into soaking mats. Run em with the mower to chip and spread em, THEN leave em.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Interesting to see trade unions promoting the common worker in such a far away and hostile venue. http://www.wftucentral.org/stop-erdogan/

"The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) condemns the military invasion of Turkey in Syria."

"On the behalf of the world working class, we reject the imperialist mechanisms that have practically given the green light tolerating Turkish aggression."
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW

With the large amount of storage space on new computers, I forget things like deleting the browser cache once in awhile. Things can get wonky sometimes when it’s running filled up.
