exactly!! JIT is not resilient at all. Processes need to be looked at to take into account the cost of being unresilient.

It may work logically but there could be electrical differences that have to be tested out and validated. The space shuttle went through this - it used 8086 processors in critical areas. Once those were no longer manufactured, nasa scavenged them on ebay and other places. The cost of redesigning and revalidating new…

This is where JIT (just in time) manufacturing practice falls apart. It’s efficient until something systemic breaks and then all hell breaks loose. Especially when you don’t own the means of production of the part in question and the entity that does either locks up the production line with other orders or retires it…

But only 38k for the past 10 years. From the “Financials” page: The song has earned $11,746.52 from performances in the last 12 months. It has earned a total of $38,164.19 since 2011, with more than half ($20,665.94) coming in the last two years.

I had a 98 sunfire and the cupholders were atrocious. Same deal - shallow and weirdly sized. I had plenty of water bottles fly out of them in a turn and learned to keep one hand on the drink if I had been through a drive-thru. It’s funny, I’ve kind of maintained that habit ever since.

Sir this is an internet. Today’s peanut gallery for malcontents.

At least it is interesting. As someone in the arts and design industry, I admire people who make interesting things, even if they don’t quite work as beauty queens.

Yeah, and that stuff is very standardized with a lot of accessories available, and the airflow keeps mold and bugs at bay (which is why restaurants use it)

They could be written out... Lucky died of another unfortunately timed pee-pee slip and fall prompting Luanne to take her Manger Babies to the place of American dreams: Los Angeles

Wire shelving from a restaurant supply. Comparable in price and much better built

I picked up some wire metro-style shelving at a restaurant supply store. Much more sturdy than fiberboard and only about $20 more.

I ignore both 1-star and 5-star reviews entirely. Almost all of them are written by people with cognitive problems or are fake. Restaurant reviews are sus in general - too many subjective variables.

The breakfast burrito is one of their better items

Historically red symbolizes power through war (color of blood) or revolution. It certainly has its place and in many uses, nobody would think too much about it (nobody thinks a mail carrier is a vehicle of war). But as the symbol of visiting top emissaries of the nation the choice of seafoam is intentionally the polar…

The current scheme is symbolic and the product of thoughtful consideration and design. https://www.cnn.com/style/article/air-force-one-trump-design-history/index.html

Mine does not. It does, however, have a chicken nuggets button.

... or people who are disabled

A lot of countries have auto taxes that vary on size, engine displacement and age of vehicle. In these places a cheap, small, new vehicle is often less to own than a larger used vehicle.

Something I recently learned... the ISS cupola took *23 years* to make it to space. It was designed in 1987 with the windows fabricated shortly after. It finally launched in 2010.

Similar effect for why some people will trust what 2nd Uncle Bob’s co-worker says on Facebook about vaccines giving you the hoodoo rather than some science-talking poindexter from the gubmint. Some kind of leftover tribal mental wiring that implicitly trusts “us” and is deeply suspicious of “them”
