When Will Our Table Be Ready at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar!?

We celebrated my stepson's 15th birthday yesterday by me making him whoopie pies, his father taking him bouldering, and finally a birthday dinner at Kura Sushi.

Virus Super-spreading, Automated

Contrary to all pandemic logic, there was a FIVE HOUR WAIT at Kura yesterday. Via their sub-mediocre app, you can get on a waitlist. Your displayed wait time never decreases, but the number of people ahead of you waiting for a table does go down.

We ain't even trying to hang out in a COVIDful waiting area for 5 hours, so i chucked together a handy graph to predict exactly when our table would be ready!

So we jumped in the car at 6:10!

Now i know what you're thinking: "Kristen, linear regression?! Really? This' clearly a job for logarithmic decay!" Well, calm down. The regressions were basically the same at predicting when our table would be ready, and i threw this together during boring scenes of Squid Game.

Alright, see you in less than 2 years hopefully.

Do you need juice!?

Have you ever said to yourself, "i should eat more fruits and vegetables...but Whataburger sure is great"? Me too! Well, my mom bought my cat and i vitamins for Christmas, which i think is her way of saying i am unhealthy.

One thing i can say though is that plants look awfully healthy. So...i should eat more of them...or any of them! You already know what a passion i have for finding and purchasing the cheapest food . But how do i consume it all before it spoils, when i often am gone at work 14 hours a day!? My recent acquisition of a refurbished juicer helps! And this' where graph

Zombie Cafe Optimization

In this game, one has a stupid zombie staff that one gets to serve disgusting meals to idiotic customers. Naturally, it was my favorite. Once a zombie chef finishes preparing a meal, they place the serving dish on a counter. From there, zombie waiters can obtain one serving of a meal to deliver to a seated customer. Since the amount of time it takes for a single customer to be served has a trickle down effect on the entire restaurant (quickly serving customers yields higher tips, rapid turnover increases profit and prevents customers from leaving angrily due to inadequate seating, extended service times increase the overall number of waiters needed to serve a steady flow of customers, etc.), obviously it is crucial to optimize this factor of game play. One element of the serving process that greatly affects service time is the location of the serving dish, since this modulates the amount of time for a stupid zombie waiter to obtain a disgusting dish, bring it to an idiot cus
