You could tell it was built from Lada parts the moment it tried to stand upright. Even gravity looked offended.

Highly impressive. Rapid progress is being made re robotic(humanoid) locomotion. https://x.com/BenjaminDEKR/status/1996435568004370809?s=20

Way (way, way) back in the mists of time, my PhD was in the field of seeing how to get paraplegic folk “walking” using exoskeleton braces and wearing all
sorts of computers and power packs. They looked more like Neil Armstrong on the moon. Things seem to have come on a bit. -
way, way, way...…when the world was young, and the internet still smelled like dial-up toner, a small band of misfits gathered around a flickering CRT monitor............

I think back then the internet was, like teleporters, still a Star Trek thing and you bought Encyclopedias in bookshops. Nostalgia eh, it ain’t what it used to be.

I do remember my Dad was the first person in the universe to get a VHS video player. Late 70s I recall. He still mentions how his pair of kippers cost 12p

Way, way, way back, when dinosaurs still used Psion Organisers, someone on here posted a similar video and it turned out to be AI-generated!
(Does the Ban Hammer ever get loaned by the PH mods to the IM mods? Or am I just destined for the naughty step?

Ive checked-at first look I thought it was definitely AI fakery, but no it is not. It's official, genuine footage.

Absolutely true, but everyone is here because they want to see their investments grow, and it's always nice to see that happen, even if they aren't planning in changing what they are invested in.

That's all it is, sell the news(excellent news) due to a very rapid appreciation over the past YTD. I couldn't be happier with the specific company performance. Patience is all that is needed. Lifestyle is as far as I can tell the Nr 1 best performing target dated product and Tech is Nr 1

All I see is giga names continuing to grow their earnings in the double digits, which would typically drive stock prices higher. We might see Nvidia report 100B revenue in 1 quarter and if it doesn't will be close. China will very soon start buying chips again. I see technology continuing to dominate. And on that there will be some new additions coming in the NY as having spent the last 6 months looking very closely at a couple of businesses and discussing same with my colleagues at length I think we are suitably comfortable about their prospects and compliment to our other holdings.
