TIL about Bioreactor Landfills. A new supposedly better for the environment design of waste dump. Collects the garbage juice and recycles it back into the heap while circulating it with air to prevent groundwater pollution. Collects the dangerous toxic gas and feeds into a generator that goes back directly into the power grid. There is only about 2 dozen of these around the country so far. Still in the testing phase.
Essentially, it seems they simply couldn't properly synchronize their schedules: the new store isn't ready yet, the old one is almost closed—and instead of a smooth transition, they ended up with two operating stores next to each other. From a business perspective, this makes sense: it's better to temporarily keep both stores open than to lose customer traffic for several months. But from an outside perspective, it certainly looks a bit absurd—two identical stores across the street from each other. Situations like this are usually a coordination + logistics problem, especially when teams are managing inventory, documentation, and internal handover across locations. In more structured setups, companies often rely on centralized file and asset management systems—something like integrate box can help keep operational plans, lease timelines, and store rollout documents aligned so different teams aren’t working off slightly different assumptions. I wonder how long they plan to keep this up and whether they'll simply "switch" traffic or close one permanently.
