Having worked at a movie theater, I can tell you that the answer is "by a human"

If you can make a machine that cleans a popcorn popper well enough to pass a health inspection, you'll be a very rich person. Especially a small vending-machine-sized popper-and-dispenser all-in-one jobby.

I just realized that in something like 200 years, no one is really going to understand the difference between George Bush and George W Bush. Like, they'll know they were two different people, but mis-attributing something that one Bush said to the other Bush will be seen as an easy mistake to make (much like how nowadays, John Adams and John Quincy Adams are seen as two different people but are not really that different in the average person's eyes).

Like, there might be memes of 41 saying "...fool me -can't get fooled again. Heheh" and no one will realize what's wrong with the picture.

When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton around 2003-ish, one of the barracks I was at had a pizza vending machine. It made cheese pizzas (maybe pepperoni too, but I am not sure) that were a little smaller than a frisbee and cost around $5 (at a time when the priciest McDonald's value meal was almost $5). I never had any myself, but it did take a couple minutes to make and (if I remember correctly) the crust was mostly pre-made. Being able to watch the process (a crust drops onto the conveyor, a robot puts the sauce on, another robot puts the cheese on, another robot puts the toppings on (if any), the pizza is conveyored through the oven) would help occupy the customer's time. If the crust is pre-made, you're really just broiling the cheese and toppings to get them melty and hot.

I don't think the pizza was too tasty or popular, but it was a convenient option if you were drunk.

Why did the Trump campaign commit to a debate with Biden despite Biden not being confirmed?

Frying some uncooked rice in oil gives it a nice flavor (you then cook the rice like you normally would, unless you want some flavorful uncooked crunchy rice) - it might be worth testing out this process using pan drippings

So at what point does he lose the right to vote? Is it when he is found guilty of a felony, or does it happen at sentencing?
