Robot vacuums are still very much a luxury, but they've come down in price considerably over the past several years to the point where, now, you can get something halfway decent for around $150. What's more interesting to me, however, are the vacuums that are still a bit more expensive but are also much better at the job in question. Roborock has become a big name in that market, and the brand's Google Assistant-connected Roborock S7 might be a perfect robot vacuum and mop. Here's why.

The 4-day work-week.

I've long been an advocate for working 4 10-hour days instead of 5 8-hour days and, if this virus has taught us anything (other than the Government will print all the money you need), it's that work can be much more flexible than it has been.  Going back to the arbitray, rigid Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, spending two hours in rush hour traffic would be like going back to sharecropping at this point.  Having all 3-day weekends ...

Although I’d heard of it uncomprehendingly when I was in seminary, I first joined the Society of Biblical Literature in 1991, while a doctoral student.  I religiously *ahem* attended the annual meetings until I lost my job and my ability to afford it.  When I landed in publishing I started attending again, and over all these years I’ve started to notice a lot of swag creeping in.  Publishers sell bauble headed theologians (aren’t they all?), playful knick-knacks, and even socks bearing the cover design of established commentary series.

One major difference, however, is the Galaxy M52 5G's vertically oriented triple rear camera array. The tip suggests these lenses include 64MP primary, 12MP ultra-wide, and 5MP depth sensors.
