How does that make you feel?

Let me tell you how it makes me feel.

A friend of mine lives a few cities from a Festo factory.

She didn't know what they build, but she always said the name Festo sounds like being an evil corp in a scifi story.

She was a bit shook, when I told her about the robots, haha

My friend, the late Michael Polatnick, coined a word to describe your friend. “Stupido.”

Festo got big making pneumatic devices and grippers, parts that are used in almost every automated factory. And almost every mechanical engineer involved with mechanisms knows of Festo.

Hate to break it to you but "stupido" is conventional Italian for stupid/idiot.
