Default John Deere unveils robotic lawn mower

I found this interesting

I will never let a robot mow my lawn, but I found it interesting none the less.

This isn't new. Husqvarna has had robotic mowers for years. I'm not sure I'd trust one if I had kids or pets but it's pretty cool.

I do it all day, every day, for work, for a billion dollar company, and even then I don't consider it "labour"

Pretty much, but I don't sell propane or propane accessories. Charcoal all the way.
