the problem with piling potatoes that high is you're going to end up with even more potatoes as those ones start growing on the previous potato compost below and above

The demand for potatoes really seems to rely on mass access to deep fryers. Easily 90% of my potato intake last year in restaurants.

it is a symbiotic relationship...the potato relies on the deep fryer to propagate the next generation

Moving that amount of food costs a lot of money that's the reason why so many grocery stores won't move all of their expired food to food banks because it cost too much money that they have to pay for

Guy I know works for a liquor distributor. They poured out $750,000 worth of beer last week because it expired. Nobody's drinking out of kegs. All the bars are closed.

Best beans for chili are red kidney, pinto, and red chori/adzuki.

Best beans for farting are black beans, red kidney, and those Goya brand grey speckled ones I can only find in Carnicerias.

I put espresso in my chili with red kidney beans and red chori beans, and my colon has never been cleaner. It was like pressure washing my digestive system. I was making GBS threads pure fiber via a 60 psi air cannon. I lost like 5 pounds.

This has been bean chat.

this would put the CFR at ~0.5%, which isn't out of range of the estimates accounting for possible missed cases.
