I worked at the lab. “Modernist” was chosen from what I remember because he didn’t like “molecular gastronomy”, which is what everyone was calling texture manipulations and laboratory techniques applied to food at the time, and to differentiate it from “classical” cooking - the Escoffier through Marco Pierre White era basically.

We cooked a lot of dishes from the book for special events, but it was often the same lot of dishes over and over. Writing the recipes was an absolute pain in the ass (I was a cook, I was not used to documenting things in a lab manual), and I absolutely believe lots of hidden variables got lost - again, while there were lab-trained chefs there - Chris I believe had a background in biology or something - us grunts were line cooks beforehand.

How is this proof of anything except using guano as a fertilizer is maybe not a good idea? The “cannabis” portion is completely irrelevant and is there for clicks.

Also unreadable on Firefox on iOS.

Ah yes, I assumed “general”

If you factor in something that doesn’t exist and still may not?

My digestive tract disagrees with you.

A lot of people actually can’t digest it. Lactose intolerance.

Ok but why?

You mean solely for the deplatformed, and not necessarily free speech for anyone else?

Edit: I was banned for saying Ashley Babbit was committing a crime and that we should not have double standards where she is a martyr but George Floyd can’t be.

Really? I thought it was Terry Roosevelt. Do you have a source?

Also how do they taste? My recollection of Dutch tomatoes is they they are not very good. Bland, watery.

Which type of white? Do Irish count now? Or do you mean only Anglos and those of German descent? What about Slavic people? Are they white now or still hated by you types? I can never keep track.

In a just society we would have laws that prevent this sort of thing, instead of lobbying by these corporations to prevent the passing of them in the first place, so people like you can go “well it’s not illegal therefore it’s ok”

That having enough money lets you get away with things?

French drains!

Yeah firing someone who was on the engineering side is not a good look when the problems are on the MBA side.

Really? I haven’t had cable since before DVRs were a thing, I didn’t realize you got one with your cable subscription now.

People who pay for cable TV.

Yeah this is more in line with my experience too.

Fancy sand!

They have an incentive to optimize long term cost? I’m sorry but what version of idealized capitalism do you live in because it’s not this one.

None of them are posting links to right wing influencers pushing a ridiculous agenda.

Yes I have. He is clearly against DEI and his entire post was about how DEI is bad and why things are bad. He is ignoring any of the other myriad things that could also be the causes of why Boeing sucks, even though he must be aware of them.

Ok but also, who cares? It is almost assuredly not the reason they are having these issues. I don’t know why you have this crusade against DEI stuff. I also think it’s lame, but the problems with Boeing are more likely that they are run by people who feel the need to make every single dollar they can and will cut costs wherever they need to do that. DEI is a screen they can hide behind.

I think it’s relevant, and you are basically saying you don’t like my argument therefore it’s wrong too.

You’re forgetting the third option: HR invents some new bullshit to justify their jobs.

You’re assuming I agree that all ad hominem arguments are bad. You cannot separate a person, where their beliefs have no sway over their arguments and they are perfectly logical. That’s like physics 101, imagine a perfect sphere kind of thing. I cannot take an argument in good faith when the person is presenting it in bad faith - even if I agree with it (which I sort of do, I think DEI stuff is mostly worthless, I just don’t think it’s why Boeing sucks).

It does matter who it comes from because what someone doesn’t say is as useful as what they do say. If his critique of Boeing was more than just “DEI bad” I would be more inclined to take him seriously, but the dude clearly has an agenda and those with agendas tend to omit more information than they communicate

I did, and the writer has a clear and obvious bias against DEI. I personally am not in favor of much DEI stuff too, but I have worked at enough large bureaucracy type businesses that are all about it and it is 90% meaningless HR busy work. I don’t think they are “optimizing” for DEI, they are optimizing for maximum profits and that is the problem. DEI is something they are saying they are doing to appease cultural trends. They are clearly not optimizing for merit, even from before all this DEI stuff started. They are optimizing for extracting as much money as they can and that means cutting costs wherever they think will yield a higher profit margin. DEI shit is just a distraction, to appease those on the cultural lip-service left, and to inflame those on the right.

That’s not evidence, that’s someone who thinks everything is a leftist boogeyman and who needs to spend less time on the internet.
