That’s called “extent of conditon”

my counterpoint is that the union leaders can then look at the company like this:

The perks are nice!

I just had this one in your honor, Crow.

fixed it

but, specifically:

•18.0-18.2 grams of coffee •machine set to 9 bar and about 202°F •distrubuter and very light tamp (modern machines like this one tend to pull better with a five pound tamp rather than 30 or 50 pounds) •no WDT or spray because my grinder is good •2-3 second preinfusion •19-23 second brew time (shorter when the beans are only a few days off roast, longer on days 5-7 or when it’s raining or very humid) •immediately pour into another (preheated) cup to mix the shot •drink it before it has a chance to cool

Well I’ve got good news for you, I only charge $5 and you get two shots :)

I do some stuff and push a button

Brilliant to have a strike with a set duration so that A) management knows your serious B) management can accurately determibe the potential cost of the strike C) if the strike does occur, you’ll have higher participation rates and D) if the strike does occur, it won’t drain the union’s coffers as it has in the past with the American UAW.

Absolutely brilliant planning. IBEW ought to be taking notes!

Another example is that we’ve recently discovered the significance of trees (or shady structures, like awnings or solar panels) in or around fields. Turns out most crops don’t actually prefer 16 hours of direct sunlight! And some partial shade reduces the need for irrigation, to boot.

Go figure!

Farming transfers nutrients from the earth to food. That’s just the way plants are ¯_(ツ)_/¯

On our non-irrigated farmland we leave fields fallow every other year to regain nutrients.

Cool!

It always blows me away that here in the 21st century we’re just starting to figure out how to farm properly. I know the changes will be slow (my family’s farm hasn’t meaningfully changed operations since the '80s) but I’m excited to see what a typical modern (ie: rich person’s) farm looks like in the year 2050.

no, read the article: they went a smidge solarpunk, are mostly petrolpunk, and often there-is-no-electricity-todaypunk

Man they can explain HOW it works but not WHY it works that way, contrary to the old understanding.

Did you sleep through all your English classes?

just slapping the link down for others who want it :)

Makes me think of the Russian “brinksmanship” negotion tactic. I feel like it usually doesn’t work.
