I literally used my sous vide vacuum sealer to pack two raincoats for a trip

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0npj1n6rko The boss of Starbucks is leaving the company after less than two years in charge as the coffee chain looks for a fix for its flagging sales. Chief executive Laxman Narasimhan is stepping down and will be replaced by Brian Niccol, the head of Mexican grill chain Chipotle, the company said. The shake-up comes as Starbucks is grappling with a slump in sales amid a backlash to price increases and boycotts sparked by the Israel-Gaza war. Howard Schultz, a former executive who oversaw the growth of the coffee chain into a global powerhouse, said he believed Mr Niccol was "the leader Starbucks needs at a pivotal moment in its history". One thing I have noticed is that in the US, Starbucks has become more a 'carry out" coffee shop than a "sit and relax" coffee shop. They seemed to have redesigned a lot of them to eliminate seats, etc. They are still considered a "hang out" place in Thailand, and their business seems to be doing good. The pics below are my "go to" Starbucks store in Thailand, in a neighborhood called Lang San. One of only a few Starbucks "community stores" in the world. Supposedly, a significant part of the store profits goes to local growers, etc. [image: LANGSUAN_COMMUNITY_STORE_Bangkok_Thailand-1024x683.jpg] [image: maxresdefault.jpg]

https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/intel-sells-stake-chip-designer-arm-holdings-2024-08-13/ Intel (INTC.O), which is cutting thousands of jobs as it struggles to stay relevant in the chip industry, sold its 1.18 million share stake in British chip firm Arm Holdings in the second quarter, a regulatory filing showed on Tuesday. Intel would have raised about $146.7 million from the sale, based on the average price of Arm's stock between April and June, according to Reuters calculations. and Intel has said it is focused on developing advanced AI chips and building out its for-hire manufacturing capabilities, as it aims to recoup the technological edge lost to Taiwan's TSMC (2330.TW), opens new tab, the world's largest contract chipmaker. The push to energize that contracting foundry business under CEO Pat Gelsinger has increased Intel's costs and pressured profit margins, forcing it to seek cost cuts. Intel and ARM both declined to comment on Tuesday when contacted by Reuters about the share sale. "This looks to be consistent with the restructuring plan and the renewed focus on liquidity and efficiency that Gelsinger laid out from the last conference call," said Benchmark Co analyst Cody Acree.

"Liable." There's a big difference, legally speaking. That's why he's suing - claims that he was never found guilty, and that's what the verdict forms reflect. As to publicity - the faithful will lap it up.

@LuFins-Dad said in Why isn't our children learning?: I noticed you put the “correct” answer under C, which stands for Caucasian, rather than A (African) or B (Black). Why is that? Also, why use English lettering instead of Arabic numerals?

I don't use the iPad for sheet music, but I have looked into doing it. The reason I was looking is that I wanted something that could give me the LARGE PRINT version for old men. Some features you might want to consider Scan in sheet music and be able to interpret it Make the font and notes bigger (for old eyes) Transpose the key Output pdf Print sheet music with the adjusted font Convert sheet music to MIDI and vice versa Zoom in and out the sheet music Just some things to consider.

@George-K Not true at all. I was always hoping they’d replace him.

I'd love to see them do that in Texas. Or here. Be the biggest damn firefight since the Thet Offensive.

I think quite a lot of British people know about the Royal Navy sinking of slave ships they mention. I'd heard about it.

I am guessing they would cut off contact if you offered to meet them in person.

A study by the Atlanta Vampire Alliance in 2015 said 5,000 people in the U.S. identify as real vampires and some drink blood from willing donors, ... Isn't that interesting?

Tyler Cowen makes the point that if you include cyber crime, crime has risen by orders of magnitude. Each of us experience attempted robbery several times a week, though our spam folders usually keep it from view.

Not knowing either person, but from each persons background and what appears to be their moral character, I would be on the side of believing Gen. Kelly in this matter vs. President Trump.
