I’m assuming they have a long waiting list of tenants who are willing to pay higher rent.

The robots amazon uses are just those things that sit on the floor and move the bins from one station to another. I believe for picking, they do not have confidence in the technology to the point that they can have a robot reach into a dark bin and pick out some small piece of jewelry or watch band with dozens of…

Yes, the robots save on labor. But they also make the jobs easier and processes faster. I work at an Amazon AR facility putting stuff in the bins that sit on top the KIVA robots. I get paid the same or more than those who work in non-robot facilities but my job is much easier (I take a lot of steps and movements but I…

I agree with UBI and think it’s something all major ideologies could support, but I know how politics works so they won’t. 

Sometimes when I am at work at Amazon they have more employees on staff for fixing the robots than anything else. The Kiva robots and Kiva field crash constantly and a small piece of paper or dust can cause havoc.

Yeah, I’m just going to switch back to AIM.

I like it when they don’t burn it and/or or serve it old and dried out, which seems more often in the past few years.

All I know about this chick is American Idol and 2 songs - 1 advocating violence against men and their property and another about abdicating personal responsibility and leaving everything up to the fictional son of an invisible man. Oh yeah, something about a sketchy facial injury too.

If he can waste that much money on 3rd tier Italian socccer surely he can afford a nicer and lower maintenance beard.

This is just the sort of stuff Chad gets away with.

I wish I read this before I wasted my night on a Double Arbynator.

The only decent thing about this movie was Nighy and his storyline. Everything else was terrible and remains terrible.

It should apply to police, but in the opposite direction.

Picnic table in the trunk of the CR-V.

Or those big garish hats or scarves or outlandish jewelry or whatever would draw attention to a regular guy looking ridiculous.
