1938 Packard

I'll be living on my pensions long before the tech reaches that level.

Tramadol... I don't even know why that shit is considered an option. One of my co-workers suffers from seizures and severe joint pain. She's stuck in that conundrum of not qualifying for disability, just because she works. They had been giving her percs for the pain over the past ten years. She was functional. They switched her to Tramadol and now, she's absent more than she's working because the pain has worsened tremendously. Either give this lady her percs or put her on disability.

I've got tea light lanterns all around the house that I light at least once a week.

I honestly believe that any robot that can successfully do every part of my job consistently would end up joining a union to demand wages and vacation time.

The one that empties the trash would have to carry a full cubic yard of trash every hour, even when that yard weighs 400 pounds. That would be in places like theme parks, casinos, malls or anyplace where really huge crowds are the norm. Office complexes and other places that have low trash volume might get along with just the robots shown in certain videos that have been recently posted here. The type of trash could make a difference too. When cans only have paper and some occasional fast food containers, it's different from when a much bigger can is full of mixed liquids and broken glass. They each have to be handled differently.

I just did some Googling on the latest robotics tech. When automating my job is the employer's goal, nanotube technology shows a lot of promise for the physical labor involved. AI tech on the other hand still has about sixty more years before it can complete the picture. After that, a decent android would be totally indistinguishable from a live person on looks and performance.

Forty minutes under water hot enough to make my skin red does it for me. Daily... sometimes twice daily.

Nothing new. Just waiting to see how long it will be until Atlantic City police raid the Popeyes on Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Do raisins, prunes and dried apricots count?

White Gildan briefs with black waist band. I saw the strawberry pattern ones in the store and figured I'd look pathetic in them. Some people can really rock them.

When I'm in a position of needing somebody take care of my affairs.

Also, the stove has to be on its lowest setting when you don't want espresso on the ceiling.

I wanna be a fly on the wall

I gotta start watching my own weight. 5/7, 173 pounds. Ten more than last year.

Got it. Give me Texas.

You were expecting, perhaps, a 980 pound cyborg alligator?

Better than San Jose. Wasted way too much time there. My goal is to retire someplace very far from both.

Why would I want to be there then? I'm more likely to be someplace outside of town, attending somebody's retirement banquet. I'll see the start of shoebie season on the Boards later when the ten o'clock news shows the highlights.

I had some for a while after my gallbladder was removed. I can see why so many people like it, but I'd rather not be like Rush Limbaugh and use it all the time. He used so much of it that it caused hearing loss.

Makes the 70 lb loads I often lift seem small. I hope you didn't herniate a disk.

Fox 29 News in Philadelphia made a short report on mecha pets that were given to residents of a senior care home. Are the pets house broken or will they start dropping little batteries on the rugs?

He's along the same lineage as Li'l Slugger and Mysterious Mose.

Oh... you mean one of the convoluted Rube Goldberg contraptions that have so many people paying thirty dollars a pound for coffee. When I make fresh coffee at home, I'm usually fiddling with a French press or something like this: https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/epoca-3-cup-stovetop-espresso-maker/1010665957?skuId=10665957&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_coffeetea_&product_id=10665957&adpos=1o2&creative=43742633389&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CN6A0uynidQCFUqUfgodFlUAkw Instant coffee is on the menu some times, but that's just a convenience thing when I'm away from home and don't have access to a stove.

And, even Ad Block can't stop any of those little cardboard slips that show up in the mail with the electric bill and the imported tea.
