Lucky its not super cold right now. LOTS of big aftershocks. West coast got lucky this time around with the tsunami.

EXCLUSIVE: Walmart is testing a robot fry cook named 'Flippy' at its delis

APB , your job is in jeopardy!

Flippy is the world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant powered by artificial intelligence from Miso Robotics, a two-year-old startup. The robot made headlines a year ago debuting as the burger-flipping robot at a CaliBurger franchise in Pasadena.

More recently, Flippy got a gig at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles with vending food service company Levy Restaurants, part of Compass Group, to fry up chicken tenders and tater tots. Through the World Series, Flippy churned out 17,000 pounds worth of the fried foods. It’s able to fry up to eight baskets of food simultaneously.

“Walmart saw what we were doing and said, ‘Could you bring Flippy from Dodgers Stadium to our Culinary Institute?'” Miso Robotics CEO David Zito told Yahoo Finance.

Yahoo Finance visited Flippy to see it in action at Walmart’s Culinary Institute and Innovation Center.

The way it works is Flippy automates the frying process for many of the items served in the deli, including chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and potato wedges.

Stupid capitalists think they’re so smart when they replace humans with machines. They’re too stupid to realize that the abominable capitalist economy is interfucked.

Replace a million downtrodden burger flippers with machines, and the workers stop shopping at Walmart. Walmart starts laying off employees, and stops buying manufactured goods. The manufacturing sector in turn lays off it’s workers. People stop buying cars and houses and shits. One by one, each sector of the abominable capitalist economy crumbles like fucking dominoes. Without governmental bailouts, the capitalist economy is destined for annihilation.

Well, let it die. From the wreckage of the abominable capitalist economy, the true, just Marxists economy arises.

Riiiight....I'm supposed to believe these spikes were part of a 'porcelain' plant. They are developing and testing kliller robots over there...

What happened to Zool?

He stopped posting right about the time there was controversy over the racial status of Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. If that's what was the final straw, all I can say is that I should have checked out too. Hope he's well.

If there is one absolutely must have item for surviving a tornado, the apocalypse, or camping at Yosemite, its this completely necessary invention.
