Alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die can't have helped back in the day, either. He has been a techie his whole life, so he can't have missed USENET.

Think they can bypass this by using concentrated juices as sweeteners?

What's the logic behind not taxing 100% juice? It has just as much sugar as a Coke; the fact the sugar comes from a grape/apple/guava etc changes one thing - it's now "naturally" sweetened sugar water.

I owned two QSR franchises (Domino's pizza) for many years and our food cost hovered around 33%. Labor cost was about 22% leaving 45% for fixed cost. Once we got the business going (tripled sales after I took over), our profit was 10%

I don't think the risks aee two large it's that the people putting the money aren't properly informed/educated. If you want to lend to people who have a 50% default rate, feel free! Just make sure there is an actuary who

If we quickly get these articles off the front page, we don't have to think about it anymore. Then we can go back to living in the perfect world where sexism is invented by the left to bring down people in the poor, innocent bro cultur

Is it possible/financially doable to make charging mostly a thing of the past with a standard replaceable battery pack? Tesla 3 gets 9, Prius uses 5 etc. You got to a charging station and they swap your batteries out for fully-charged

Sadly, with what we know of ISPs and tech companies running fiber straight to Fort Meade, even giving them a room in the data center [1], I don't see this as surprising. Google might have been thinking of this when they altered their m
