"exceeds human performance" .. in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?
It's such a weird phrasing. They make it sound like you can give it nails and a hammer and it can frame a house better than a human.
I mean have you seen inspection videos on YouTube? Homebuilders are doing a half assed job these days.
As if there was ever a golden age of craftsmanship.
Fuck humans they're always dodgy. Bring in robots already
Those are addictive.
Me watching: " oh yeah, that's ridiculous, how'd that pass inspection? "
Why are all the window frame welds breaking?
Maybe eventually
And also since when human performance are all the same level
When I was taking classes on similar things, 'human performance' was generally defined as how well an expert in a given task performed.
in a general sense we are.
Absolutely not. Especially when it comes to speed and endurance.
I mean like we don't pull carriages with even our top athletes but we will with a runt of the litter horse.
No you absolutely do not! You never put more than half the weight of the horse on it's back. I just recently went riding and since I'm not a fucking lardass I got to ride a good horse.
Movies and TV are not real life.
carriages can be of all types of sizes you know but if a humans pulling it we call it a rickshaw and we would never attach a horse to it because it could not handle its power.
It gives the deathgrip a whole new meaning
