The World Now Is Ready for This Pizza-Making Robot Made in Seattle
king5 TV | 1-15-21 | Chris Cashman

Just as the restaurant industry is shifting, Seattle company Picnic believes the world might now be ready for its pizza-making robot.

The Picnic Pizza System stole the show at last year’s CES technology convention in Las Vegas.

The robot wowed convention-goers by quickly rolling out hundreds of customized pizzas, each with different toppings, sizes and even making half-and-half pizzas — all with precision and little food waste.

Picnic was named “Best of CES” by several reviewers — and it wasn’t even an official vendor.

In the past year, Picnic received a substantial investment, allowing the company to ramp up production of its commercial model, which was shipped to its first customer this week.

Tucker Carlson Shows That On Biden’s First Day, CNN Finally Took the COVID Death Ticker Off the Screen
MenRec | 01/22/21

CARLSON:
“Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight. It’s Joe Biden’s first day in office and you know what that means. CNN can finally take that COVID death ticker off the screen. There’s no reason for it now.”

“It’s not like you can blame Joe Biden for some Chinese virus that escaped from a lab in Wuhan. That wouldn’t be fair. Come on, now. CNN dutifully removed it this morning. Covid deaths? Settle down, America. It’s just a bad flu season.”

“Joe Biden apparently agrees. He and his family were photographed in Washington last night, without masks. But not a big deal, explained his flak today. ‘He was celebrating a historic day in our country. We have bigger things to worry about.’ Okay, makes sense.”

Foreigners Forced To Do 50 Push-Ups For Not Wearing Masks In This City
NDTV | 20 Jan 2021

Foreigners caught not wearing face masks on the Indonesian resort island of Bali are being subject to an unusual punishment: push-ups.

Video footage circulating on social media this week shows tourists in T-shirts and shorts being made to do the exercise in sweltering tropical heat as masked security officials stood over them.

More than 70 people paid a fine of 100,000 rupiah ($7), but about 30 others said they did not have the cash.

Instead, they were ordered to do push-ups.

Those not carrying a mask had to do up to 50, while those who were wearing one improperly were punished with 15.
