At Quince, San Francisco's highly regarded and Michelin triple-starred restaurant, $220 buys you a stunning fixed-price supper including caviar, cold-water lobster, venison and "A Dog in Search of Gold."
The latter dish, crispy white truffle croquettes, is served atop an iPad. The screen runs video of a dog hunting for truffles in a forest.
"Living in San Francisco for over 20 years, I have witnessed the tech boom and I wanted to combine a little bit of gastronomy with technology and a little bit of education," said Quince chef Michael Tusk. "The idea was simply about taking the guest on a voyage to being out truffle hunting and then having a moment when the truffle is dug from the ground."
[...] The food sits on a screen atop the iPad, and the screen is sterilized after every use, he said. "The food does not directly sit on top of the iPad," he said.
The protective screen allows them to hand out silverware instead of plastic forks.

The stupidest things of 2017 will come from idiot-in-chief Trump's mouth. The smartest thing will be his impeachment.

Ok, this isn't as dumb as iPad plates, but it is weapon's grade. Fun enough to break my usual rule of ignoring stupidity from ACs and have some fun with it. Impeach? Same rule as Obama had, there are at least thirty-four Republicans who realize it would be suicide so that is simply off the table. And like Obama it really won't matter what happens, those votes simply won't be there so there will not be any serious debate of the topic. This all started with Bill Clinton's impeachment when the Democrats made it clear no crime up to and including human sacrifice would be sufficient to induce more than a handful of D Senators to vote Aye. Again, you guys made the rule, now we will gleefully apply it right back at ya. Speaking of, aren't you just loving Harry Reid and Obama's no filibuster for Presidential appointments rule about now? Rex Tillerson, "Mad Dog" Mattis and a hundred Federal Judges, all filibuster proof. SUCK IT BITCHES!
You guys still can't get over it though, first you were telling yourself a recount would make everything all right again, then the pathetic games with the electoral college. Shocked there hasn't been some proposed Hail Mary move where Congress could still, at the last minute invalidate some electoral votes or something and still avoid the ass whooping you guys got. Once impeachment is also shown to be entirely off the table perhaps you folks can get beyond denial and 'yall can start the anger phase. I'm waiting for the lulz that is going to bring, you idiots being utter incompetents at absolutely everything. Your tears of impotent rage will be delicious.

Did someone mention politics, or are you responding to the voices in your head?

Maybe if the media told more lies and called him racist more he can get there?
