They should all be 165° for food safety’s sake when it comes to ground beef. You can play around with a steak’s temperature becuause any bacteria are on the surface and not ground into the meat, though that’s becoming less true with tenderizers being used on steaks.
YMMV, of course.

Trying to get rid of them and increase turnover by making the job uncomfortable? Drive older ones off the payroll to cut costs?
I’m sure making people uncomfortable will do wonders for their ability to pay attention to their job.

^ Beans FTW.
Dress it up with hot sauce if you can find it.
Getting slightly off the path of “cheap”…
If you have a grocery nearby that sells cheap goods from south of the border, grab some plantains. Wait until they’re good and dark, peel, cut them in half lengthwise and then in abbut 2” pieces and fry them. Making me hungry just thinking about it. Sofrito for the rice.
One of my favorite cheap meals.
(USD) Sofrito jar 2.99 25 lb bag of rice 13.50 (~55 cups of rice, 25¢ a cup) 1 lb beans, pinto 1.19, black 1.59 (2 cups/bag, 60¢ cup) Hot sauce 1.19 Plantains 65¢ each.
Rice and beans, decent serving, 1 cup cooked each makes a good amount, 85¢. Assuming some salt is already available to cook the rice with.
So adding a cup of sofrito, a dash of hot sauce, and cooking up a plantain will add a little over $2 to the total, make it $3 for the whole meal.

When would you like to see your primary care doctor? We have an appointment slot in 6 months you have no idea if you can get the day off for, but you can waitlist for an earlier appointment cancellation that you probably won’t be available for either…

This would have ended a lot of cartoon series a lot quicker. The hero has the villain on the ropes and “but I would be just as bad as you if I killed you” and lets the villain go so the villan can do more villain shit, repeat.

While you’re right, that’s splitting hairs when compared to the wild differences betwen ‘55 and ‘85 - which is NO PCs, NO cellphones, NO internet, etc. and the point of the comparison was the differences between going back to ‘95 or ‘55 from the specified decades. NOT focusing on a single aspect of today vs ‘95 which, by comparison, is minor despite some 17 year olds having mental breakdowns over the loss of a cellphone addiction.
- Comment on Y'all might not be ready for this 2 weeks ago:
Yes. But we did have computers, basic social media, cell phones, and yes, we did have what constituted fast internet wirh DSL or T1 lines. No, it wasn’t “broadband” by today’s standards, but it was fast enough. Cable internet came out for consumers in ‘96.
Point being anyone going back to ‘95 would have little trouble understanding the world, and vice-versa. The big difference would be carrying the internet, CD collection, and movies in your pocket on a phone. I daresay there would be no small number of people who would prefer the ’90s to all the bullshit happening over the last coupled decades.
Going from home PCs, early gaming consoles, cable TV, laser-discs, and a whole other shitload of changes technologically and societally between 1985 and 1955 IMO have a lot more stark differences.

Funny the massive cultural change between the 1950s and the 1980s whereas it really feels like far, far less has changed between the 1990s and today.

- Comment on Anon's class fails expectations 2 weeks ago:
But such a system needs it obvious that the percentage has it good at the expense of the rest, and that and the rest don‘t have the power to change it. There are a lot of possible arrangements…everyone does good because the few get sacrificed (a strange sacrificial dystopia), the few get sacrificed for no gain and evryone keeps their head down because they‘re worked to death and it doesn‘t affect them directly (US now), or the sacrifices are deliberate and chosen to keep the population at large in fear and controlled (places like Nazi Germany or possibly Russia).
There aren‘t too many realistic situations I can think of where a system would be widely popular while the masses are deliberarely and knowingly killing people to propel it - and I don‘t mean to compare that to something like health caee industry ROI to investors by denying claims.

Didn‘t really complete the experiment. None of the horrors of auch a system. Wait until one of them didn‘t want the job and wanted to do something else. Straight to a work camp. Or executed. Women forced to stay at home an bang out kids. Etc.

It was unfortunate watching our forum die. It was a pretty busy space, lots of gaming info, participation and all that. The main damage was caused by our preferred game series studio killing private servers and mods with the next version of the game in favor of dev company paid servers with limitied and company approved mods. Pretty soon the seconday games we played followed suit. That caused a lot of the group to look for other games to play, modding was what we were all about. The forums were a lot of fun. A lot of people learning how to use the graphical tools for games and personlize their forum presence. I just looked at the wayback machine and it was a real blast from the past seeing all the names, all the servers, the activity…it was a good 5-8 years of my life.

A catastrophic one would result in probably 80% of the population dying in a year. Starvation, exposure, lack of medicines, etc.
