Imus Quotes

In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni

Ang kamatayan ay hindi isang ritwal kundi isang tulay papunta sa pinili mong buhay (p. 341).

Minsan, hindi tayo makakagawa ng magandang alaala kung walang lungkot, takot, sakit. Kahit nga sa pagsulat ng mga masasayang bagay, nangangailangan din ng karanasan ng lungkot. Pa'no ka magsusulat tungkol sa kaligayahan kung hindi mo alam at naranasan ang lungkot? Pa'no ka makukuwento ng kamatayan kung hindi mo alam ang kahulugan ng buhay? (p. 178)

Pero parang hanggang doon na lang, parang isang madamdaming nobela na nawawala ang esensiya isa o dalawang taon matapos mo itong mabasa. (p. 299)

May magmamahal din sa’yo, huwag mong ipilit. Hindi porke gusto mo, makukuha mo. Hindi porke nakuha mo, gusto ka na.

Ilan sa magagandang bagay dito sa mundo, nalilikha mula sa kalungkutan, takot, at pagdaramdam. (p. 186)

Don't do acid, kids.

Ganun ba ang mga bakla magmahalan. Puro etits ang alam. Kung wala bang yarian, hindi ka na ba mahal. Ganun ba ‘yun?

Hindi ‘yun sa kung bakla ka o kung maton ka ... wala naman sa kilos ang puso, nandito ’yun sa loob.

Lahat ng nauna sa akin, gusto mo iyo. ‘Yung laruan kong transformer, akin ‘yun dapat pero napunta sa’yo. Bakit, hindi daw bagay sa akin kasi malamya ako. Kaya, ang binili sa akin, manika. Nakakatawa hindi ba.

Ang bayag - o cojones - daw hindi masusukat sa dami ng kaibigang handang makipag-basag ulo para sa 'yo kundi sa kakayanan ng isang taong harapin ang isang bagay kahit pa alam niyang walang handang sumalo sa likod niya kung sakaling magkamali o magapi siya. (p. 142)

Motion-based sensor array for measuring human movement.This networked system of wearable, miniature inertial measurement units (IMUs) provides information about human movement in real-time.

I’m amazed at how this has snowballed into such a media event. It began last week when I saw a national news report by Tom Brokaw about this adorable little lady from Georgia, Mrs. Hill, who was trying to save her farm from being foreclosed. Her sixty-seven-year-old husband had committed suicide a few weeks earlier, hoping his life insurance would save the farm, which had been in the family for generations. But the insurance proceeds weren’t nearly enough. It was a very sad situation, and I was moved. Here were people who’d worked very hard and honestly all their lives, only to see it all crumble before them. To me, it just seemed wrong. Through NBC I was put in touch with a wonderful guy from Georgia named Frank Argenbright, who’d become very involved in trying to help Mrs. Hill. Frank directed me to the bank that held Mrs. Hill’s mortgage. The next morning, I called and got some vice president on the line. I explained that I was a businessman from New York, and that I was interested in helping Mrs. Hill. He told me he was sorry, but that it was too late. They were going to auction off the farm, he said, and “nothing or no one is going to stop it.” That really got me going. I said to the guy: “You listen to me. If you do foreclose, I’ll personally bring a lawsuit for murder against you and your bank, on the grounds that you harassed Mrs. Hill’s husband to his death.” All of a sudden the bank officer sounded very nervous and said he’d get right back to me. Sometimes it pays to be a little wild. An hour later I got a call back from the banker, and he said, “Don’t worry, we’re going to work it out, Mr. Tramp.” Mrs. Hill and Frank Argenbright told the media, and the next thing I knew, it was the lead story on the network news. By the end of the week, we’d raised $40,000. Imus alone raised almost $20,000 by appealing to his listeners. As a Christmas present to Mrs. Hill and her family, we’ve scheduled a mortgage-burning ceremony for Christmas Eve in the atrium of Trump Tower. By then, I’m confident, we’ll have raised all the money. I’ve promised Mrs. Hill that if we haven’t, I’ll make up any difference. I tell Imus he’s the greatest, and I invite him to be my guest one day next week at the tennis matches at the U.S. Open. I have a courtside box and I used to go myself almost every day. Now I’m so busy I mostly just send my friends.

Pangarap, ikaw pa rin ang kahulugan ko ng salitang ito.

Nah. Rosa Parks, 1955

In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni.

A man in this society who is not a racist or sexist is rare indeed, being steeped as we are in paternalism and one of the most virulent forms of white supremacy in the history of man’s inhumanity. When Imus protests that there is not a racist bone in his body it is a big mistake. It’s much easier to say I am a racist and a sexist struggling to overcome my afflictions.

Inertial Measurement Units (IMU): Combining accelerometers and gyroscopes, IMUs provide comprehensive motion tracking data,

Lidar: Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses lasers to measure distances. In robotics, Lidar helps in creating high-resolution 3D maps of the environment, making it especially valuable for autonomous vehicles and drones. Sonar and Ultrasonic Sensors: These sensors use sound waves to detect objects and gauge distances. They’re especially useful in conditions where vision might be obscured, like underwater or in heavy smoke. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs): These are electronic devices that measure and report a robot's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces, often using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes. Force and Touch Sensors: In tasks that require delicate handling or interaction with humans, robots utilize these sensors to gauge the amount of pressure being exerted, ensuring safe and precise operations.
