Right, but stick with me here... what if they could make MORE money? All they need to do is stop requiring them to clean out the lead in the toxic waste that they dump on their worker's towns and the owners can put that money into another vacation house.

Or corporations who want to have a say. BP Oil will happily drop off a shipping container of cash at a "volunteer's" house if it means that they eliminate inspections of oil platforms in the gulf.

Corporations will be stumbling over themselves to insert HIGHLY paid people into these positions.

These are the people that invented automation. Why do a job when you can have a machine do it for you?

Or, as another commenter pointed out, because their corporate bosses are paying gobs of money to them to 'volunteer' for these positions.

I hadn't thought of that, but this is 100% exactly what will happen. BP oil will surely pay someone VERY handsomely to 'volunteer' 80 hours a week toward eliminating all oversight of drilling rigs in the gulf.

This happens once in a while with my washer as well. My determination is that it starts to spin and is so far out of balance that it has to refill and swirl the clothes around a bit, then drain it to hopefully get a more even balance of mass so that it can properly spin. It's much worse when there are large items, like a blanket that tend to lump on one side.

This makes me sad. I installed a loud as fuck exhaust on my car, but it broke sound limits at the track so I had to get a quieter setup. Mostly I’m sad because of my tiny penis tho.

I took my kids out, one is almost 3 and the other is just over a year. So few houses in our neighborhood had ANY appearance of anyone home, let alone participating that it took nearly two hours to get about 15 houses. In a pretty standard suburb. At least two houses that were heavily decorated had nobody home and no bowl out. Two also had colorful lights but when we knocks on the door they looked confused when there were two toddlers yelling at them. One just shut the door in our face and the other sort of stood there for a minute with his mouth agape and finally said “I don’t have anything”. I mentioned to that guy that he MIGHT want to turn his lights off or there would be kids all night, but walking past at the end of our evening, all his lights were on still.

I left a bowl on my porch and had two small groups of respectful kids each take a couple pieces each (video doorbells have changed the game a little).

A robot? SOMEONE has to fill the robots with “meat” “cheese” and “bread” so one more thing to dispense ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper would be easy enough.
