    I bet they already have done. If they can they probably will. Gradually at first but likely it is already becoming more common and is well on its way to progressing into becoming a standard battlefield procedure. That's just my suspicion with no evidence to back it up though. The Rubicon which...

    No Mow May

    Other than trimming back the hedges and removing poisonous plants such as ragwort we leave our meadows to nature all year round. The horses and rabbits seem to instinctively know how to manage the grass themselves better than I do and judging by how our fields look compared to other peoples this...

    I, Robot , I Soldier.

    It's an interesting theory which I first read about in the excellent science fiction book Glory Lane by Alan Dean Foster back in the 1980's. Will computers ever be powerful enough to 'play out' every possible permutation of every scenario possible? Maybe but I doubt it. Wouldn't that require...

    Certainly the the robotics and AI technology has been capable of automation for some time (just look at self-driving Tesla cars a an example). All that is required to make the existing hardware fully operational is a software or command update. As for a new arms race, I think that has already...

    Last night Neil McCoy-Ward released a video discussing our governments recent green-lighting of using AI controlled killer robots which can operate without human oversight. https://rumble.com/v7anwe8--danger-just-approved-ai-controlled-lethal-weapons...-no-human-oversight-.html

    What did you buy today?

    Having a bit of a shuffle round at the moment selling old watches which don't get worn and buying new watches to replace them. I've just ordered this.

    Coping with the heat.

    The Tilley T3 Wanderer (the boonie style hat) is available from several of shops here in the UK. The Sunday Afternoons Adventure hat (the one shown in the picture I shared) only seems to be available to buy over the internet. There are a couple of UK distributors who sell them as well as the...

    Coping with the heat.

    My most commonly worn sun hats are a Tilley T3 Wanderer (boonie style) and a Dorfman Pacific Outback hat. Both are great hats which work well and look cool but when it comes to pure outright functionality a Sunday Afternoons Adventure hat beats them both by a country mile. Whenever I intend to...

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    I use sewing machine oil on my Victorinox multi-tool.

    Alone (UK) TV series. What ten items would you choose?

    :oops:!!! Judging from how most people look their bodies must be full of cholesterol and toxins. Maybe an organic human raised on a good quality healthy diet might taste nice but I wouldn't fancy eating your average Western European person for 'obvious reasons'.

    What are you listening to?

    I have never watched/listened to classical music being played live. Far too 'common' for that during my younger years. I would love to go to one though... Maybe I can find a nice outdoor venue some time this summer.

    I like G-Shock squares. So I've bought a nice bright one for summer.

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    I have never felt the need to. My oldest SAK is 15 years old, well used and is quite grubby inside now. But that hasn't affected the performance or smoothness of movement in any way.

    Why a Swiss Army Knife.

    I have a SAK sat on my desk at work and no one gives it a second thought. It would probably raise a few eyebrows if there were any other kind of sharp knife sitting in it's place though.
