Once again pirates get the best service.

Happens a lot more when the search engine prioritizes SEO farms and random sponsored shit.
Hah, no, definitely not a 24/7 thing. More that it can be a useful exercise.
Mostly it’s about best practices I think, and getting a feel for them. Try starting with something simple, like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Describe how it’s done, each step. Think about where it’s efficient, where there’s extra wasted action, or time. By the time you’re done you’ll be considering if your butter knives are stored in the best spot, if you should get everything out at once, or one at a time. Do you have enough inventory? Is having extra inventory a waste? Is it worth washing knives afterwards or get extra so you can wash a batch at a time instead?
Then, go back through from the perspective of a child that has never seen your kitchen. Do the steps still make sense? How can you make it more simple, less effort? Finally, when I mentioned hand off… How do you ensure that your child laborer is going to deliver a pb&j of sufficient quality? Who determines quality? Production time?
Once you start thinking that way, everything is a process that could be considered, with inputs and outputs, quality control issues, potential waste, efficiency improvements, etc. It applies to data just as much as a sandwich for example, and office jobs are all about taking information, changing it a little and sending it on. Each step should transform in some way (capturing who does what, to what, at each step can help). Understanding the complexity instead of assuming simplicity so you can analyze it, but then distill it back down to something that is actually simple and understandable.
Anyway, hopefully that helps some in thinking about it a little differently.
For googling key words: quality management, process mapping, process analysis, lean, ?
Unfortunately there’s a lot of corporate shit, buzzwords, and SEO that have accumulated so it can by hard to find good info (like everything else now?)
Processes
Super generic, most people interact with them in some form all the time both at work and personal without a second thought. Very few understand what makes a good process, especially when there is a handoff involved.
Oh also communication. Everyone does it so a lot of people must be really good at it right? Yeah…
I missed it was kg instead of lbs, definitely agree with you in that case.
Yes… You likely had fairly flat and atrophied feet. I’m guessing they were pretty long and narrow, with your big toe extending much further than your little toe. With a more developed arch, foot muscles in general, and not being bound, your foot is probably quite a bit wider with a more square toe box. That square toe box results from your big toe being pulled in.
Also, if you had an issue with water retention before, your feet may just be less swollen now.
Others have mentioned losing fat… Definitely possible but I don’t think you’d see a shoe size drop from that (since it’s more volume loss than length) and I don’t think 40 lbs would have included that much on your feet anyway 🤷♂️
They’re pretty similar; kefir, buttermilk, and yogurt are all kinda the same thing. In the US what you get at the grocery store is probably going to be standardized around different textures and flavors though. And in the case of yogurt, 50 percent sugar and added random flavors.
Best recipe I’ve found for pancakes (I use kefir instead of buttermilk), better than any mix I’ve bought, and great tips for perfecting for pancakes:

Otherwise pancakes are often kinda meh, and I apparently don’t like maple syrup enough for it to redeem all pancakes.
French toast is tasty but I haven’t perfected or found a great recipe. Waffles requires yet another kitchen appliance which just isn’t happening right now. Which means it all depends on the restaurant.
I think most people use sleep instead of shut off because they don’t want to lose everything they have open, not just to save a few seconds.
Not sure this should be world news…
Huh
Hexbear is an 8/10 on this scale
