Bye bye subscriptionWell, there are only 2 days left to my subscription, and while I want to renew it, if I were to it would mean I would have no money left to spend for the rest of the month. Also I have been getting lazy with uploading and browsing and journalling (real word?) so I'm not sure now is a great time to pay for one. I might try to 12 months one next time so I don't have to go on and off through uni. Time will tell, I guess.Features (only a small one)

How well this idea catches on is a bit questionable, given the powerful “romance” of driving one’s car, but it’s certainly an indicator of things to come in the daily intersection of human and artificial intelligence and mobility. There have always been those who have dreamed of stepping into a mechanical exo-skeletal-type “suit” and letting the engineering do the work, instantly increasing limited human speed, strength, endurance and accuracy.:icontec
