NASA's Humanoid robot.
"Robonaut2 – or R2 for short – is the next generation dexterous robot, developed through a Space Act Agreement by NASA and General Motors."
It's a pretty cool top half of the robot. They need to talk with Sony about the bottom half.
"Engineers and scientists from NASA and GM worked together through a Space Act Agreement at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston to build a new humanoid robot capable of working side by side with people. Using leading edge control, sensor and vision technologies, future robots could assist astronauts during hazardous space missions and help GM build safer cars and plants."
I suspect if all the people of the world could work together, in one common language, we could build anything.
Here is Sony's robot from a couple years ago.

Wanted to wish my daughter a happy birthday. I know your not supposed to talk about a woman's age but Kate is now 1 year old (old = out of the womb).

I have played a few games of paintball (1,000s really) and if there was one thing I wish everyone who played knew it would be the basic soldiers skill set. Things like proper use of camo, hand signals, movement techniques, etc.
I found a light infantry tactics book. Good read. The first couple of chapters at least. Not sure section II matters for most people. If you are not familiar with basic soldier tactics it's a good overview.
I also found a fun read How to start and train a Militia Unit. I have always thought a non-white-supremacist militia group would be fun. Shooting things, learning tactics, etc.
