Damned straight!

I love my little car.

I'd love it more if it were autonomous, but hey, I'm sure "we beat all US universities in humanoid walking" Honda is already working on it. Likely they'll come out with it as a marketable product after 10 years of attending conferences, diligently reading CMU papers, and never publishing a thing.

And honestly, what value does humanoid walking have? Sure, it's a great academic exercise, requiring significant innovation, but honestly, humanoid walking is terribly inefficient and ineffective for most environments.

Sure

All you have to do is jettison the land west of the San Andreas fault, and you'll destroy an entire landing force.

Eh, maybe so. Had a hard time getting up the time and motivation to create that all-imporant first cover letter, though.
