Is the cashier going to disappear by 2020?

Thursday, May 23rd, 2013
Robots will replace workers by 2020

Robots will replace workers by 2020

It has sparked my interest , in recent days I have visited the local grocery “super-stores” and have found an increasing number of “scan it yourself” registers. These are all automated , fully functional and semi-intelligent cashiers.

It made me wonder : “if we went from signing paper to touch pin-pads, what’s next?” Rather obviously I can’t be positive that the pin-pads and smart-card readers will be ancient history compared to this new-aged concept of fully mechanized cashiers. In fact, a “Trader Joe’s” somewhere in New England (I forgot the exact location, sorry) actually has a “scan it yourself” line where all the products are scanned, put on a conveyor, then they are bagged by a machine that separates them by weight, class (eggs for example would be in the “fragile” class) and content , then are bagged accordingly.

All you really do is put all your items on the conveyor , wait a few seconds, pay, and lastly, take your bags and leave. The concept is amazingly simple, effective , and certainly will change the future of the “typical cashier”. Continue Reading…

Man benches 772 pounds -do you even lift bro?-

Here is something for the records. Eric Spoto makes you look like an absolute wimp. To you, lifting 200 pounds is an achievement. Spoto can lift 772 pounds, that’s almost half a ton!

This makes us all think of “lifting” in a whole new way. This guy could literally lift about three guys his size without breaking a sweat. And you know what? This is a world record!

This guy is truly a hero in his own unique way, but hell, one day I will beat his record :P

Filthy terrorist chops apart British soldier in broad daylight

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

Early today two Islamic radical militants, residing in the U.K. , attacked and killed a British soldier with a meat cleaver. While screaming filthy blasphemy in their native tongues, they “chopped the man like a butcher does a piece of meat”. The head was rumored to be removed as were a majority of all limbs.

The men were confronted by armed enforcement, but they precoded to chop like the mad dogs they were, so like mad dogs, they were shot but not reported to be killed. This was an “ideology led craze” say British authorities , prompted by Islamic extremism, just like the Boston Bombers.

The voracity of the attack and the extent of obvious hatred awakens us all to a grim reality : this “religion of peace” appears to be the root cause of recent attacks. Even with people that preached violence being killed  (bin laden and al zwahiri) , random radicals persist in committing acts of terror through virtue of only their religion.

This is truly unfortunate fact is that these people are terribly mistaken in their creed, they see all westerners as imperialists going about destroying their homelands. This , as Gandhi and his holiness the Dalai Lama showed us , does not justify the use of violence.

The use of a meat cleaver can only go to show that this was done with emotion. We must now ask what the compatibility of this mistaken creed is with the modern world, and if we should live every day in fear, or begin changing these people to be more compatible with our societies(education), maybe even just mass-deporting them away to their homelands if they resist.

Oklahoma tornado causes severe damage

Monday, May 20th, 2013

A sever Tornado reported in Oklahoma has caused severe structural damage, destroying multiple school and shopping centers. The damage up to this point most certainly is not well documented.

Some claim that “numerous casualties have been sustained”. Although possible, these sources are heavily unreliable.

Just a few miles away from Oklahoma City, images might speak better than words. Clearly the fact that the damage is being addressed hours after the storm has passed is not a good thing.

Female vigilante chases down kidnapper

Friday, May 17th, 2013

A mother was out for a stroll at a local park in Albuquerque, NM early today. Unfortunately, she took her eyes off her child for less than one single minute, and her child was kidnapped.

As oppose to what the average person would do, this clearly dedicated mother took things into her own hands. Thats right! She sped right after the alleged kidnapper!

The chase ended when the mother allegedly crashed her car into the kidnapper’s car. The kidnapper then took off on foot, official word does not disclose the condition of the child, or if the child was even located in the car. Perhaps the kidnapper took her with him?

Anyways, the kidnapper ran as fast as he could into the surrounding woods. Police have set up a five hundred yard perimeter, and are using every man they can spare, and many dogs as well.

The kidnapper is alleged to have conducted an earlier kidnapping of another child. Again , the condition of this child is also unknown. But yeah, vigilante almost stops kidnapper makes for great headlines! Too bad we don’t have all the information yet :/

Oldest living animal discovered

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

When you think of old age, 70 sounds about the right time to die, right? Well not for the Galapagos giant tortoise! The average lifespan of a Galapagos Giant Tortoise is almost 180 years!

Then it comes as no surprise that these animals could possibly have this longevity due to the fact that they are so freaking slow. The average weight of these reptiles is just barely below half a ton!

They tend to eat their weight in shrubbery , being dedicated vegetarians, on a daily basis. Not only that, but the shell is literally such hardened calcium , which grows thicker each year, that even modern rifle rounds might have difficulty penetrating it!

We lied, sort of, this animal was not discovered. Rather, back in the day, Charles Darwin himself found them. Quoting them as being rather “amusing” in his work “on the origin of species”.

If you ever see one, gtfo out of it’s way! This thing could bulldoze you at the speed of well… a tortoise.

And you know what? At age 180 , they are still going strong! No ED , nothing!
