Sunday: I am really not looking forward to tomorrow

Waking up early, giving a presentation for two hours, sitting in uncomfortable chairs all day.  At least I think my talk is done.  It's not perfect, as I couldn't get one result to work nicely, so I'm going to have to claim, "crap, this crap is crappy, and doesn't work right."  Not what I was hoping for.

Today was burrito day.  It turns out that the place that was once BC Burrito (as seen here, and here, and complained about here) is now Verde Kaimuki.  They still have dumb hours (who closes at 3?), but they're not closed any more, so that's good.
 They still have chips and queso.
 They still have a too-big-to-eat burrito.  This one wasn't bad, but the pico de gallo made half the burrito cold.  The rest was nicely mixed, but that cold side was a mistake.

My understanding is that they closed, the manager bought out the location from the owner, and now it's the same restaurant, but with a new owner, and therefore a new name?  At least it's still there, so I can get burritos (even if they aren't the best ever).


  • This is not going to end well.  Taking a cut from shareholders is generally accepted as fine, as they invested their money and understood the risk.  Taking a cut from depositors is going to end in riots.  Especially when you're taking money from people who believed that those deposits were insured by the (EU version of the) FDIC.  I know it's basically a scam to take money from the Russians, but if you're going to run a scam, why not just do so?  Confiscate all foreign investments, know you're not going to be a financial powerhouse in the future, and use that money to fix things.
