About JetAlone
Jet Alone (ジェット・アローン) is a bipedal robot developed by Japan Heavy Chemical Industries, designed to replace the Evangelions. Unlike the Evangelions, which have a limited internal power supply and must rely on external power cables for extended operation, Jet Alone has an internal nuclear reactor (likely a pressurized water reactor) and can function for at least 150 consecutive days. Jet Alone requires no pilot, and is controlled by an onboard computer. Radio commands can be issued from a ground station. Being a robot and not a living being, Jet Alone cannot generate an A.T. Field. Shiro Tokita pushes aside the issue, describing the creation of an (artificial) A.T. Field as "only a matter of time."

He did say he was a liberal. I don't think it's possible to be a left wing westerner without embracing the prevailing cultural attitude of activist pettiness, at least a little bit…

Right, so now that this thing has been proved we're moving on to the "They did and it's a good thing" phase.

I almost misread that as "Trudeau says Canadians should be allowed to protest in Chinatown".

Interesting, there was a volcanic eruption emergency in Hawaii 3 days ago. Maybe this won't be all the tectonic activity we see in the pacific...
