Roston Bynamics was found to actually be Boston Dynamics with some 100mph tape slapped over the logo.

The ludicrousness is the point. "Capture a creature in a ball"... How close is that to Red Dead's lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I'm certain it was someone's "technique" while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said "I see you're using my method to build a house! Pay up!"

Well, you can't patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says "You're using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!" and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it's a digital arrow?

Plus, he had "concept of a plan" in his front pocket. He had that think ready. If nothing else, his debate prep got that in his head.

From my experiences it goes more like this "In an ideal world, we'd behave this way. We're not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it's the best course." with a knowing wink thrown in.

No, they killed the hostages and left. If they tried to hold up, and maybe go for a prisoner swap, there'd be more people at risk.

Not claiming Hamas is good but if there's no resistance, they don't kill as many people while finding the bodies.

They're not trying to protect the 'innocent', they didn't want the IDF gunning them down. When they saw the news about the IDF laying waste to everyone, they said "Fuck that," killed the hostages and left.

Warfighting 101, that's why you don't go scorched earth for your hostages. If you make it a smart move to just kill them, they'll just get killed...

Granted if you're not looking for the hostages but looking to make your opponent look more inhuman, well, in that case great idea.

Mentally deranged people have been shooting up schools since before Capri Sun was even invented...

How old are you?

Is that what the Israeli forces said to the children they gunned down?

They're not even ex-Republicans.

Military can't really customize their equipment anyway. No bumper stickers on an MRAP.

Relevant Apocalypse Now quote "They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it is obscene."
