When chipotle first started the lines where long and the food was good. Their process flow was optimized for the constant stream of customers.

They had a large staff of people for the size of the restaurant so people had dedicated jobs with a few who spent all day cleaning.

They were always way under on their holding times for the food. They separated people handling hot and cold ingredients and the till.

From a foodborne pathogen aspect it was a really safe place to eat.

Then they overbuilt, increased their prices and lost quality control. Their customer flow started declining. With the decrease in customers, food was pushing holding times, crews were reduced so more cross-contamination occured, and cleaning fell way behind.

Today Chipotle can be referred to as "shitpotle" as the probability of foodborne disease is pretty much guaranteed.

No the soils in the Midwest are not good.

Erosion and soil profile degradation from poor farming practices are a huge issue.

No it's not what happened to North Korea at all. I have no clue where you got that from.

The collapse of the Soviet Union cutting off food, fuel, fertilizer, and technology support started it.

Then torrential rainfall and flooding destroyed that years crop and food storage in the main production regions. It also destroyed many of their hydroelectric dams and irrigation systems. Without support from the soviets they had no way to repair them.

However the main reason hundreds of thousands of not millions died was because of the governments unwillingness to open their borders for international aide/trade. The government deliberately starved their population.

This sounds like a government program with good intentions but no actual understanding of what needed to be done.

First off both organic and conventional farming methods do acidify the soil. Contrary to what these farmers think organic/traditional farming does it much more rapidly.

Higher rainfall zones also naturally have more acidic soils. Traditionally cultures have temporarily overcome this by burning the vegetation (slash and burn).

If 70% of the soil in the country is acidic the government program should have been to subsidize lime application and soil testing first. Lime is much cheaper than fertilizer anyways and balancing out the pH makes all nutrients more available.

They could have then subsidized the appropriate usage of fertilizer based upon the test results. Blindly applying any type of fertilizer is a recipe for disaster. Fertilizers must be applied in balance for the crop, soil type, pH, and the nutrients.

Those gas stations used to have a map rack. One in my town next to a freeway had a laminated one on the wall behind the maps with a big arrow saying "You are here."

When people asked for directions the clerks just pointed.

For lesser known subjects, a literature review in a dissertation works. It at least gives you a list of papers to review.

Just leaving out mentioning the goldfish... Huh...

Pretty sure there is one Goi in there as well.

My personal theory - used as a quick method for evaluating the value of gold and silver coins.

Holes are for diameter, the bumps are used to estimate thickness.

Many modern vehicles automatically turn off after 30-60 minutes idling "to save fuel". I order to turn it off you have to hit the A button on the dash. it's proven to be deadly.

I really hate the modern trend of having the stupid thing pop out some random name hoping you don't notice that it's a computer.

I personally just start a long monologue of swearing at whatever dumbfuck thought it was a good idea to make an AI answer the phone.

Then I am extremely pleasant to the human when they pick-up.

They generally record and log every call, so I give the human reviewer something to enjoy.

Mint gets quite a few fungal root pathogens. Once those set in it will wipe it out in a few years.

I don't recommend being near the field when they swath it. Clears your sinuses and burns your eyes.

Moved out at 17. Haven't spoken to my parents in over a decade. The only interaction I plan on having with them in the future is pissing on their graves.

Hey me too, birthday buddy.

You never got stuck in formatting hell on word-perfect apparently.

It was pretty easy in creating new original documents.

Editing existing documents was an absolute nightmare. The list was extremely long of random shit that would happen we you deleted some text.

They made it the default option for businesses that routinely buy computers with less local storage than their users need. Pretty much every company I have worked for.

They then pushed it out hard into the consumer market when SSD came out and the average storage space on lower end models dropped by 75%.

I see why they did it, how they did it was in usual Microsoft fashion, idiotic.

It's sort of their pattern.

1. Introduce new changes.
2. Screw it up royalty.
3. Fix the features that are salvageable and revert most of the remaining except: Double down on the shitty ones that they think will make them more money.
4. Rinse and Repeat

The "hard math" can be done easily and quickly with a financial calculator app. The one I have shows the amortization schedule as well.

Forums were awesome until the ads took over. Then apps like Tapatalk made reading them easier. Then Tapatalk went to shit and power users migrated to reddit (mainly for the easy to use wepage and awesome independent apps.).

Then reddit shit the bed so now Lemmy is filling the gaps.

Sort of like hospital bills now. My wife went to the E.R. 2 months ago. They billed the insurance $4K. The insurance said nope and paid $220. We paid $40.

So in terms a biologist can understand: If it's not charge what is the difference between normal and negative matter?
