Casual table-service restaurants (not fast food) all seem to have switched to smash burgers in the last couple of years.
It’s not a savings on ingredients, since you normally get two 4-oz patties rather than one 8-ounce.
My theory is they cannot recruit/retain kitchen staff competent enough to cook an 8-oz patty without delivering it raw or burned beyond recognition. It basically takes no skill to cook a smash burger… if it looks done, it is done.
@RemyFreshy@DegenCicero69@ChasingSnyder Lol Tua was never close to MVP level.
Sadly, McDaniels took probably 15-20 years off of Tua's life with the number of head injuries.
There is a collective hallucination going on in the tech world maybe just as bad as being forced to wear masks outdoors during covid. And its this idea that AI can solve every problem and lesser so that people actually want to talk your "agents"...
I struggle, wanting to remove myself from tech culture because this hallucination is induced in part because no one in it really seems to understand craft or quality or culture.
Its even more surprising because lots of these people have money and so have eaten really good food, used really good electronics and sat in really good furniture.
It seems like tech people don't actually have taste and can't tell why a $30k table is different than something you spend 10 minutes "designing".
What is the disconnect? Is it for the attention, the TL likes? Do people actually believe this stuff they are peddling?
Because if they do I can't relate. I see a $30k piece of furniture and see painstaking choices that were made for beauty, functionality and craft. I see it in everything from a good croissant, cup of coffee, piece of clothing, perfume, everything. Once you understand craft its hard not to see it everywhere.
But AI has so many tech people believing they can create anything, which is laughable. It's cringe, it's a bubble that doesn't exist in reality.
Can tech just stay in its lane and go back being ok with and embracing the fact that you're just a nerd and thats ok. No onecin the real world wants you spending 10 minutes "designing" things and claiming you can replicate art.
@SpecialSitsNews@TXMCtrades What do you do with the yolks?
I used to tell myself I'd repurpose them but I just ended up hoarding yolks for a week then tossing them.
Elon is correct.
People have no clue about the shortage of dedicated AND competent mfg operators, engineers, and maintenance technicians.
IMO it's a very serious problem and might be the #1 challenge facing mfg not just in the US, but globally.
There are efficiency improvements coming that will allow for a 40kWh Cybercab pack. We will make this in liquid silver, so the colors are not too monotonous.
The biggest thing most people fail to understand is that there are a very limited number of smart, dedicated people! They can only do so many things.
If we have to maintain a complex production line, supply chain and allocate engineering for Cybertruck, we can’t use those people or factory space and machinery for scaling Cybercab, which is the vehicle that will PROFOUNDLY transform the world of terrestrial transport!
@Zigmanfreud The trick was he conveniently left out 2024.
The Massie, MTG, MAHA "coalition" is what got Trump elected in 2024. Maybe not a great move primaryiing encumbants that help you win.

@kevinnbass Why did you leave out 2024? Democrats came out in Presidential year numbers. 20 million Republicans stayed home. And its certainly NOT because Trump wasn't on the ballot. This was a total conservative revolt, especially amongst Republican men under 50.
