An evening pause: This is a set of two commercials. I have no idea what the product is that they are selling, nor do I care. They are hilarious, and speak well to the modern childish obsession of adopting hi-tech where no hi-tech is really needed.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Robert Pratt: I must say that while the commercials are funny, they are terrible advertisements for this supermarket. Terrible. One should at least get some idea about the product from the ad. Not here.
The concept of the stores is that simplicity is best, I get it and what the ads were trying to do, simply hilarious.
What about the door ?
I get the fire thing.
The door is what we need to understand.
Love it.

It’s like classic era Heinlein co-wrote with Mel Brooks.
Mmmmmm, more like a demonstration of how Asimov’s Laws of Robotics always ultimately fail
Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, as they are called, have survived to the present:
1.Robots must never harm human beings or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2.Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1.
3.Robots must protect themselves without violating the other rules.
