I had a co worker who was in the Navy for 4 years, I asked him what he did in the Navy, he said, “I scraped paint?.

I looked at gauges. A slight step up.

All evolution eventually leads to a venomous winged ant e.g. the yellowjacket.

Not new. Popular Mechanics showed this back in the 1960s, and the movie THE AMBUSHERS with Dean Martin also showed it in the brewery fight.

As a current active duty sailor, these are pretty cool, but let’s be honest, it’ll be a hundred years before these roll out to the fleet. We just got rid of Windows XP fer crying’ out loud.

Reduce muscle fatigue by 300%? If I reduced it by 100% I wouldn't get tired at all, so at 300% I guess 4 hours of hard work would give me the muscle recovery of a full 8 hours of sleep.

If that productivity gain is true, all government “workers” all should get 3 or 4 of them.

“Skilled workers can maybe do that for three to four minutes then they need to put the tool down and they need to rest.”

Been there done that.

Oh yes, they rest for maybe ten seconds then it’s back
to the grind for two hours if your lucky, eight hours
or more in a day.

Lord, where do they get these people, the WORK of a
WW II. ship yard would kill most of them.

Theoretical ideas in magazines and movies are quite different than a working model in the real world though.
