Not even a printer, just a screen. Didn't I see a headline the other day that said robots could now make hamburgers?

Morons. They'll all be jobless within 4 years.

In related news, you know those guys/gals who start on the street and spin signs for businesses? I saw a robot version on the way to work yesterday.

You mean a sign attached to a windmill wheel?

In theory, yes.

This thing had a wide base, and possibly tank treads. From the base an arm stuck up with the sign attached that would wave the sign around and randomly twirl it.

I think if Johnny Five fucked a broom stick, it'd be a close match.

I thought the idea behind the guy spinning the sign was that you could not install permanent signage, so a homeless/whatever guy holding a sign for 8 hours gets around that. A robot still gets around that loophole?

Why not? I wasn't very big at all. Even if it wasn't on wheels 1-2 guys could move it easily.

Went to Krystals for lunch. "That'll be $9.76"

"Okay." Hands a $10. "Oh, let me give you a penny."

Get's handed 23 cents in change. Not worth hurting someone's feelings over (and I'm pretty sure I would have if I'd said anything), but there's a reason you aren't getting paid any more than you are sweetie.

On the one hand, she knew she needed to do something with that penny.

On the other hand, I envision her telling her family tonight
"So some guy came in, and gave me an extra penny when he paid, just so I'd have to give it right back in his change. What a moron. I can't believe I don't get paid more."
