One of the reasons The Bear is such a great show is because it pretty accurately represents a lot of the struggles restaurants, that are trying to be excellent, go through to give their diners a great experience. I won't post spoilers, but there are a few notable examples from this season that I can think of.

It should also be noted that the cast of the show were all trained in culinary arts to some degree for the show, and a few of the cast members are actual professional chefs and/or restaurateurs.

When I read "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Guidara, I could see a lot of the principles and ideas implemented in the show, and at some of the restaurants I have visited, including Eleven Madison Park (both pre and post vegan), which Will was instrumental in turning into a world class restaurant.

And really, that's all these restaurants are doing - trying to elevate the experience they can offer above and beyond the food, because, to be candid, Michelin has given out too many stars in the Bay Area, and there are too many restaurants competing at that level. In my opinion, a city should have no more than one Michelin-starred restaurant per million residents. Last year, Michelin handed out new stars to TEN, count 'em, TEN restaurants in California, and now there are 85 starred restaurants in the state, concentrated in the LA and Bay areas.

Just within the San Francisco city limits, there are 28 Michelin starred restaurants, and 50 in the Bay Area - a total of 5 for every million residents of the SF-SJ-Oakland CSA. It's a little ridiculous.

The whole point of the Michelin Star is that it's supposed to be hard to get, and set you apart from the rest of the crowd. It loses its meaning when they will throw one into your car if you drive around San Fran with your window down for too long.

To say nothing of the the 2000+ cases of people stripping out their large intestines with ivermectin who now have to have colostomy bags.

When CO2 gets above about 500ppm, you'll start to see statistically observable health effects in humans. People who are more susceptible to CO2 toxicity will feel drowsy, run-down, and complain that air quality is noticeably poor. At 1000ppm, about 50% of humans will begin showing these symptoms. At this rate, we'll see 1000ppm in the next century, and maybe faster as America tries so hard to make itself great again.

For items that are "everyday essentials" there is a Walmart near me that gives me delivery within a few hours, and the annual membership is quite a bit less. The pricing is also less than Amazon - mostly because I am not a Prime member so I don't get "Prime" pricing.

Because they're part of the far left woke climate conspiracy. Or something.

This is a case about whether the decedent has a constitutional right to nice weather. It could end up at the supreme court.

Apologies... when they said they planned on the "biggest, baddest CPU," I naturally assumed they were talking about x86 desktop and server processors, not lean, sensible, small-scale processors like ARM, MIPS, and RISC-V.

"Proving a suspected murderer guilty by establishing an ironclad alibi for everyone else on the planet"

I'll see your Sherlock Holmes fallacy and raise you a Reverse Burden of Proof fallacy.

There has always been a better way, but stubborn fascination with x86 has held the chip industry back for decades. It is definitely time to move on and I'm glad someone has taken it up.

There, fixed it for you

If you're proficient using Linux, why bother dual booting Windows in the first place? I don't get why you'd want to run Windows on bare metal next to Linux. But then I haven't used Windows since XP so maybe there's some reason? I just don't understand what it could be.

What Trump has said he wants is for the US to become China in terms of mega factories and factory jobs "for life" for US residents. This is why he's trying to take down the education establishment and steer everyone away from college. He wants a nation of factory workers living in on-site dorms just like China, making good for the broligarchy.

"If illegally fired for DUI you don't have to sue the company. You report the incident to your state labor relations board."

If you report it to the state labor board, the state gets the money. If you sue them, you get the money. Of course, in some states you can do both, but if you're faced with the choice, I'd go for suing them myself every time.

I assume you meant to say that the junk mail was FOR the prior resident and not FROM the prior resident. This little detail makes a big difference in your story.

In any case, when you sign the waivers giving up all your privacy rights to your employer, they are well within their rights to ask the USPS for a list of all the mail you get, which is recorded electronically as mail passes through the sort facilities. The USPS is happy to provide this information for the nominal fee they charge for this service.
