That’s a shame, and as much as possible should be done about it, while still pushing as hard or harder for renewables.

Tories are just patronizing bastards, bred in the bone, and they’re so far from understanding the tech in question that they end up being led by their registered members… who are in their 80’s.

Those clips all look credibly fake, especially the terrain and vegetation. How are people falling for this?

“Crackheads say that nothing gives them energy and a buzz quite like a hit of the pipe, cannot see downsides. News at eleven!”

What is this source, “Insider Paper” and is there any other coverage of this story to compare to?

Indeed, the US had a bloody attempted coup ffs.

It’s the Sun, a tabloid, they’re just click farming.

You just described the MENA region.

I think there’s a lot harder work to be had, having worked on a farm and as a line cook. I think if what you just described broke you, life was always going to break you.

The US military budget is about $800bn, and I’m pretty sure that you don’t really believe that much can be done in terms of infrastructure for 1/1000th of that, never mind a single line item.

Wow, you’ve seen all of that? I guess I’m convinced then. /s

I’m not American, but thanks for answering me about the hellscape.

Dude… they’re baristas, not bouncers. What hellscape do you live in?

Maybe the coffee at one place is just better?

We both know that “full automation” doesn’t mean that skilled maintenance and programming jobs are gone, and we know that the people serving coffee and hauling packages aren’t going to be getting them.

Yes I have, and a number of other jobs that were both mentally and physically far more demanding.

Have you?

Because they’re serving coffee and handling packages, and that usually doesn’t break people?

Inexplicably it will still demand to know your name, and then get it hilariously wrong.

You not reading the dozens of articles that come out each week on this topic doesn’t make them cease to exist.

Starbucks, like MCDonalds, seems like the sort of business that will be early to full automation. I think that’s the strategy, the tactic is to delay until that’s feasible on a wide scale, then use that to pressure workers until the transition is made.

> Workers at a combined Starbucks and Amazon store in Times Square filed a petition for union election Friday morning, saying they’re required to do the responsibilities of two jobs for the pay of one.

Was that in their job description when they signed up?

Holy crap, talk about waves of nostalgia, lovely!

This incessant need to remove switches and dials is foolish beyond reason, a car is one of the times I want to recognize controls by FEEL without having to take my eyes off the road.

Let me save you a click, some Android forks in India were badly made and try to download block lists over and over.
