Because labor isn’t the main cost of fast food as far as I’m aware. Doubling the wage of laborers saw only modest price changes in places that hiked minimum wage… Despite franchise owners being able to set their own prices.
McDonald’s near me in NYC is more expensive than Alabama, sure - but it’s not double the price. ~$20 for 2 people to have 2 large meals with drinks is eminently reasonable.
I’m looking for door & window contact sensors and motion sensors to replace an old Simon 3 ADT security system. I’ve read a lot of posts and such and I’m still having a hard time picking out sensors that will work with an existing Smarthings v2 Hub (currently used for lights) and eventually Home Assistant once life calms...
I’ve got aqara open/close sensors that I use on 3 windows and 2 doors. I like them. I’ve had them a couple years without needing to replace the batteries but I have some spare coin cells on hand for when I do.

In un sondaggio abc/ipsos di inizio maggio il il 16 per cento dei sostenitori di Trump ha dichiarato di essere pronto a riconsiderare la propria scelta di voto in caso di condanna e il 4 per cento ha detto che in quel caso il candidato repubblicano perderebbe certamente il suo voto. Percentuali
Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...
I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.
Government biometric requirements really aren’t a joke. They perform pretty regular audits and the liability of not deleting ID could be company ending.
They might not delete your biometrics, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t. It’s far more likely that they not only delete it but have an audit trail proving deletion.
It’s not extracted as-is from yams. Yams have diosgenin - which needs to be extracted, cleaned and then put through a few chemical processes to be useful.
Plants are viable sources of precursors not of the end result, and many of these precursors aren’t useful in biological processes.
Scientific studies have not shown Men to have substantial estrogen level changes from drinking soy.
The only advantage we have is that we have an increasing number of bike lanes parallel to major thoroughfares. While there’s the prevalent issue of trucks parking in the lanes they are, for the most part, clear and in reasonable condition.
Until Destiny 2 gets Linux support I’ll unfortunately always be bound to windows. At least as a dual boot.
But if I’m forced to use windows anyways I feel like I’ll never make the jump to Linux. I’ve got a Linux laptop for the other use cases but gaming remains Windows only for me until the game I play with all my friends is cross platform.
This is half a decade old news, but I only found this out myself after it accidentally came up in conversation at the DMV. The worker would not have informed me if it hadn’t come into conversation. Every DMV photo in the United States is being used for AI facial recognition, and nobody has talked about it for years. This is...
Not just Europe either. 172 countries use NFC passports, all of which have your full biometric info (including a high res headshot) encoded onto the chip.
If you’ve ever had a passport your face is known to the government of your country and searchable in a database.
D2 Is where they took the general fragments of lore and organized them into a plot arc - story elements from the first game (Xivu for example) are all culminating in a final showdown that releases June 4 with the last raid June 7

Fast food should be expensive.
I get that until recently it was considered normal and relatively cheap, but you are literally paying someone else to make food for you....

The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
