Two food posts in a row from me isn't the norm but I thought I'd share this one, particularly since as someone who lives in the middle of hickville nowhere, this was my first and last attempt at Korean food. Not because I have anything against Korean food but because I'm not driving for two hours to reach it.

I was visiting a friend's workplace a couple of towns over and went to an authentic Korean restaurant. And I'm not talking one where they serve fries because that's what Americans want but one where pretty much nothing is in English and everything comes with kimchi.

This is my plate of spicy rice cake and side dishes. I'm committing it to the Steem blockchain for all posterity.

As I found out, the actual rice cake is the round log portion.

Potatoes, kimchi, and bean sprouts are served on the side.

I encourage everyone to go out once in a while and try something they haven't tried before.

I'm not a huge fan of eating out as I prefer to BBQ my own meat. If I can get my lazy ass out there and try something new, you can too.

The Rice Cake aka "Dukbokki"

Further on Microlearning:

The good thing about Microlearning, good for companies that is, is that it's cheap. You don't need to give employees time away from work to take a long course that they won't pay attention in. You just use their already free time -- time they'll otherwise spend browsing Facebook or buying shoes online.

Additionally, companies recognise that they're not hiring top talent but the cheapest talent. If Jenny, who has a MBA from Yale and 5 years of relevant experience, wants $70k a year salary and Dave, who went to Phoenix University Online and worked as dog groomer, wants $30k, there's a good chance he'll get the job providing him being incompetent won't fuck up the company's key projects too much. Dave will need some training.

Let's say Dave was hired as a Project Coordinator and has no idea what a Decision Tree is.

The company can create a nifty little application, perhaps resembling the animation below from SlideShop, to correct Dave's ignorance regarding a vital piece of knowledge.

Dave is still a moron and will likely mess up whatever project is assigned to him, but at least he learned something without costing the company anything excessive.
