Since 1977 the US federal government has had to require many grocery stores to sell produce. The margins are lower, the labor is higher, and they use a lot of grocery floor space. Without that intervention there probably wouldn’t be access to any produce at all for most Americans. Capitalism is very much the center of this story. In Europe the varieties of produce being grown are being mainly dictated by flavor and taste, in the USA resistance to insects, cheaper to harvest, size of product are the main criteria when the varieties of seeds to plant are being selected.

You forgot about big pistachio!

I’m not kidding

Actually there is very much an overrepresentation of queer men in fraternities, and even more in fraternity leadership. During my undergrad I’d say about 20% of fraternity men were queer. From talking to other fraternity men across the country, that number seemed to be pretty universal. If you start looking at Executive board members that number starts to rise to probably 30-40%.

Don’t get me wrong, lots of things about fraternities are disgusting, and I am not sure they deserve to exist TBH. But they are often a refuge for awkward closeted gays.

It’s more expensive up front, but I’m very happy with my Doorbird 🇩🇪

Basically there is a small percentage of Grindr users who are full on addicted to the app. Grindr knows this and the last five years or so the company has been fully focused on squeezing them for every penny, even at the expense of losing millions of free users.

Don’t take my word for it, here is a Wall Street analyst talking about it with receipts.

That’s Orem

My dog is afraid of trains which is occasionally inconvenient for traveling somewhere far as we live car free.

If I had just skipped his vaccines he would have instead been able to identify the year and model of every locamotive 🚂 and seek them out like he does now with french fries. 🍟

That’s wonderful you are a data engineer, but in a normal business setting most people are not. I’m the only one at my company who knows SQL exists. But everyone knows what Excel is, everyone knows at least the basics of using it. Even if I got my coworkers familiar with and writing SQL (which is a laughable thought) there are still clients.

Data is everywhere, and Excel has been the default program for light data analysis for decades. I hate it as much as the next person, but right now it’s inescapable and irreplaceable.

Excel/Access is literally the only reason I ever boot to Windows anymore.
