@DrRonaldHoffman I don't make or drink smoothies
Any suggestions for powder?
I always bought the wafers but those have been out of forever
Try the other wafers but don't like them and having to modify my D3.

Everyone should be able to obtain the goods and services to enjoy, be productive, etc.
The number of dollars is irrelevant
Seemed like a dealership to me
Same as every other new car I have ever bought
I walked into the place
Did a test drive
Told the sales guy i wanted to buy
He typed on a computer for awhile
I gave my credit card for the deposit
Left, went home and waited until the car showed up
Went back
Looked the car over,
Wrote out my check
Drove home
Exactly like I've done for decades
LG says its CLOiD home robot will be folding laundry and making breakfast at CES | Terrence O'Brien, The Verge
The LG CLOiD home robot can fold laundry and make breakfast in your conveniently dystopian “zero labor home.”
LG teased that it would be showing off a new robot for a “zero labor home” at CES. We now have a bit more detail on what to expect.
The company says that its CLOiD home robot can fetch milk from the fridge, put a croissant in the oven, and even do some laundry, including folding and stacking clothes.

CLOiD isn’t the first laundry-folding robot we’ve seen, it’s not even the only one at CES this year — SwitchBot’s Onero H1 will also be able to tackle your hamper.
LG’s does seem particularly impressive, at least on paper. While the Onero looks like someone stuck some arms on Stop & Shop’s Marty, CLOiD has two fully articulated arms with seven degrees of motion mounted on a torso that can tilt and bend.
Its head looks quite a lot like its Q9 robot, minus the handle, and will be able to communicate through spoken language and facial expressions. (Getting side eye from an annoyed robot is truly the future.)
But another big selling point will be CLOiD’s ability to integrate with your smart home appliances. It’s basically a smart home hub with hands, but its support for ThinQ and ThinQ ON allows it to work particularly seamlessly with LG products. (No surprise there.)
Now whether or not anyone actually wants to have a robot wandering their home that they can boss around, or if they’ll even be able to afford such a thing, remains to be seen. But LG is clearly hoping that we’re all yearning for a mechanical butler / maid / chef / personal trainer.

@SharylAttkisson Tips - only part true. Has to be in a defined job and voluntary. For example an 18% put on the bill because it's a party of 6+ won't count
Same with social security tax. Half true. There are caveats
When I worked at McD in the 60s, we washed, peeled, cut the potatoes and soaked the uncooked proto-fries (supposedly to get starch out). They were then cooked about 1/2 way. During the day, the final frying to crisp and brown them was done. Wouldn't that make it resistant starch? I think it was actually lard that was used. Of course, it's much different nowadays.
