IMO, the obvious choice is to tax the hell out of robotics. They could be a really steep tax to buy them and then some sort of usage tax, a levy on any product made by robots. That money will then be used to finance social programs and activities for the idled people. Just think of millions and millions of unemployed people and all that spare time to get into mischief. |

Only problem is, social programs and activities for the idle people don't really work well for most people, from what I have seen. They are structured in a very narrow way that doesn't suit everyone. Great idea in principle though. |

They may have physical or mental disabilities. As a society we have an obligation to care for them. Sometimes things happen, businesses shut down and there is no work. The people left behind may need some help to get retrained and/or relocated. Then we have the lazy bastards who won't work and expect someone else to pay their way. They may get a low end job with hard work and low pay and, being lazy bastards they don't work out. There is a lot of effort into training them, but in a lot of cases that is a waste of time. They are basically unemployable. Think of them as the people who sit around waiting for a phone call and then when they head out to their first day of work their battery is dead or a tire is flat. |

That would just reduce the number of people who won't be able to afford their products. It won't provide more consumers for them |

I like the 30s stuff more. Not just Sinatra but lots of obscure stuff from that time. I like Al Bowlly too. I go to youtube and let it run while posting. They have some interesting complications. Some are shoddy, others are put together with passion and knowledge. I will post you one of my favorite Sinatra tunes when he was with Dorsey in his early 20s. He had a vulnerable sound then. Sort of like a really good quarterback before he becomes too famous and starts doing things his own way, like a movie star who directs and writes his own films which are usually garbage. I am enclosing a link. I have others I like even more, but this is a good example. I especially like when Sinatra comes back in after the musical interlude or whatever and closes out with the same lyrics again, only this time delivered just a bit differently. Subtle, nuanced, not a bunch of over the top bullshit. But if someone doesn't care for it I'm not going to go nuts or argue over it. It's a matter of taste. I like all kinds of music but have a narrow niche I typically turn to. My father was a professional singer. Burlesque. Back in the late 40s, early 50s. None of that stuff was forced on me. In fact I rarely saw my father. But I heard him sing often around the house and had a few old records of his, cheap ones made of cardboard in the old recording booths. So I grew up listening to rock and roll and other popular shit but was also open to the older stuff. This means I am more open and honest and therefore probably have better taste than the average asshole. Just kidding (sort of). https://youtu.be/JOh1AXpW4ks |

That means it can only use up to 4GB of RAM, so no point in installing more. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it, I should have gone 64 bit. It still works OK as is, for my light usage, so I haven't done anything about it. |

How can that be faster to locate the right tab with that many open? I have 2 instances of Firefox running with 29 tabs open (although 6 were just for youtube downloads, closed now). One tab open in Brave 10 in Opera... And that's it. |

The style that I am talking about dispense batter from a machine, and you make them fresh yourself (not a buffet pre-made waffle).

It's quite an exciting concept - make your own waffles! The resulting product was not good - heavy with a weird, granular, mouth feel. I'll never eat a waffle in a motel lobby breakfast nook again. |

I located a copy cat recipe for them. For a batch of waffles they use 2 cups flour and 1/3 cup of sugar.... 5/3 Tbsp. Compare that to a regular waffle recipe that uses only two Tbsp sugar. That is getting close to three times as much sugar, so that explains how it crosses the line to too damned sweet for me. |

I imagine that they use the sugar to get the crispy texture. When I make waffles I get that by folding in egg whites. You get an crispy texture but lighter feel. Of course, you can do that at a serve yourself. |

I do sometimes, depending on my mood. Tastes good to me, but eat it up before the crust gets really soggy, because then it's like mushy saltines in soup. |
