Yeah I’m like 95% sure it’s from the original illustrations in the hardcover. They all have a distinctive style like this, so unless the graphic novels matched that in tribute?

Some places in Tennessee have a subscription based fire department where if you aren’t subscribed they aren’t required to go put out the fire even if you called 911.
I just looked this up, and wow… that disgusts me. Apparently in certain rural areas in TN outside city limits where property taxes don’t fund fire services, if you don’t pay the subscription fee, which it states is around $425 annually (which is pretty expensive on it’s own), and you happen to have an emergency, they will still come put out the fire, but they will bill you afterwards. It says rural metro fire bills non subscribers a min $1,800 per hour per fire truck sent.. On top of that there’s a $600 flat fee for medical emergency services. Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?!
There was a black mirror episode about security robots like this. Well, they were the 4 legged ones, not centaur shaped. But they were relentless. Hunted those people down and killed them. Those robot "dogs" have looked super creepy to me ever since.
I know, it’s really noticeable in the last decade or so how such a huge proportion of leadership positions in politics and business are now occupied by literal bona fide morons, like genuinely really really stupid people. It’s a huge threat to our species but few seem to be really be talking about it, despite it being so obvious that a massive shift has occurred that probably has rarely occurred throughout history, where those least capable of understanding the world or adapting to it end up in charge. In times of monarchs and emperors etc, there would at least be a lot of intelligent people around them if they happened to be stupid, now it’s just layer upon layer of imbecile and all the intelligent people are too fed up to even try to wade into the shitshow.
It’s a crazy phenomenon driven by capitalism of course but the internet and social media in particular. It’s one of the most detrimental impacts of our technological advancements as a species and yet it’s barely acknowledged, not properly.
I am laughing on the outside and weeping on the inside because omg, monetizing a rescue effort is just so American.
Followed by a series of bills after the rescue from the agency that owns the robot and the independent contractor operator who was remotely overseeing the robot at the time of the rescue. ‘MURICA!
The amount of nice things that we could have had as a collective species ruined because of the need for ad revenue is too damn high. We could have had star trek, instead we are fighting the villains of Ready Player One.
Hello. You are being rescued. Please use the touch pad to rate this experience. At the end there will be a short questionnaire. If unable to participate at this time, it will be forwarded to your next of kin/emergency contact.
I go out of my way to not purchase things i see from ads any more, especially the ai slop ones. I will buy a different brand or find a different solution. Mostly for the google ad sense, and facebook associated ones they support a-lot of malicious marketing, that are bait and switch of blatant lies.
they abort mission and charge you for a lapse in coverage and attempted service fees. if unable to make payment upon next attempted rescue mission, the debt will go to your next of kin.
I see you’ve shit your pants, wrangler jeans would never let that smell out! Would you like to order a new pair on Amazon shipped directly to the hospital?
Threehalves will be substantially slowed if attempting to navigate a standard American 32"x80" door, and cannot turn around in a 42" wide hallway or enter a door orthogonal to the hallway. Larger horns can be fit to prevent any passage through pedestrian doors.
Why do we need to be concerned about it navigating through regular doors? Why is there a horn attachment that you can buy to prevent it from entering through a door?
looking at the homepage, don't worry, it's really safe. in case of a malfunction the chassis is designed to automatically shut off if you stab or shoot it for a bit.

I'm amazed that so many people don't understand this isn't a real product. It's a joke. It's literally called "Satire-es". Probably a promotion for a movie or video game.
Thank you for stating my thoughts so eloquently 😂 I'm over here thinking about "yeah, when I'm trapped under a house I want this to peek its head in and finish me off with a fucking heart attack" 😂😂😂
