Nepotism engine shifts some wealthy dudes around.

Rhaedas , in Starbucks’ CEO is out. Chipotle’s Brian Niccol is taking over

Was the revenue growth because of his guidance, or despite it? The boom of pickup and delivery in the past few years for places like Chipotle couldn't have hurt. I haven't been in one of their places recently without wondering how they're staying in business, or why people keep coming back. That's true of a lot of fast food places though...Carlin was right, we love to eat. Anything.

As usual the US is doing everything it can do destroy Venezuela smh

AmidFuror ,

Getting Maduro out would help Venezuela a lot. Sending Trump, not so much.

some_guy , in Former Kansas police chief formally charged over Marion newspaper raid

Eric Meyer had said that computers, his cellphone, and the home’s internet router were taken during the raid. Herbel said her computer and phone were taken.

The router is the key to the case. That’s where you find the real crime. Idiots.

While they are idiots, this was about cruelty. They knew what they were doing.

We’re talking about cops. They had no idea what that thing was when they unplugged it and threw it on the pile in their MRAP.

some_guy ,

Well put.

TheWorldRolledMe ,

The router may have log files pertinent to the investigation. It may be basic information unless it was setup otherwise but it’s more information that can help lead to a conviction (hah) and possibly a slap on the wrists followed by a stern finger wagging.

Pretty sure the router doesn’t have persistent memory, so unplugging it wipes anything useful.

Or for that matter, enough on board storage to store more than a few hours of logs at best. Logs generate obscene amounts of text per second.

SirSamuel ,

I can put over 100 HD movies on a drive smaller than my thumbnail, but i get what you’re saying.

I don’t really have a point, I’m just amazed that storage has advanced this far in my lifetime (80’s/90’s kid)

@Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Manufacturers for most devices are going cheap out on everything they can, see: cell phone industry and 3.5mm jacks, microSD card slots, etc. More storage ups the cost by quite a bit more than the storage itself actually costs for a new phone (but don’t worry, the phone manufacturer offers cloud storage (as a paid service)!

Storage has improved amazingly over a short period of time, there’s individual drives with more than 20 terabytes these days

SirSamuel ,
  1. I totally agree with you
  2. Dude! I bought 16TB HDDs for my NAS for less than $300 each. What the hell!? I was paying just over $16 per terabyte!

I’m an old fart from the 1.44MB disc days. I thought burning DVDs was cool. This is just…

I have hundreds of movies and shows. I could watch 8hrs a day for a year and not rewatch anything in my collection. It’s amazing. Rejoice in it

The MicroSD card thing really chaps my ass… You’re already committing to a sim card slot, it’s no effort at all to allow for a dual slot that also accepts a MicroSD card.

God I wish LG stayed in the phone market, fuckin loved my V50; 3.5mm with a nice DAC built in, microSD, fingerprint reader on the back.

I still have it, but there’s no updates for it; I’ve thought about looking into something comparable to grapheneOS but didn’t find anything for LG phones newer than the v40

Private companies shouldn’t be running detention centres.

People should stop investing in private prisons too. Most people are through the bank they use or the contents of the funds their 401k chooses for them.

CaptDust , in Starbucks’ CEO is out. Chipotle’s Brian Niccol is taking over

This dude ruined chipotle in so many ways. Cutting serving sizes, using lower quality ingredients, reducing employee count and training quality, just letting everything slip. He took that chain from one of the most reliable to somewhere I refuse to set foot in.

But line went up, clearly he’s a genius, fail into the next role!

count_dongulus ,

I agree with all those points except the serving size one. I remember reading recently that the CEO was upset about some locations skimping after people complained and sent corpos out to retrain them.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

According to their PR statement.

GBU_28 ,

None of it matters if they don’t train them to wrap the burritos well

CaptDust ,

Doesn’t seem like that training stuck, at least as of June it’s still wildly inconsistent.

I don’t have empirical data, but I do know in 2016/17 at the height of my chipotle addiction I could get a bowl for lunch, be filled, and have enough left over for a late night snack. Last time I was there it was all “are you asking for double protein? that’ll be extra”

It would be nice to know what brand it is. 🙄

Firefox’s reader mode can usually grab the article before the paywall loads if you change it to reader mode and then hit refresh.

I would post the full text but it’s unfortunately against Rule 10.

It’s not available in reader mode. I’ve tried lol

the bot link has cvs, walmart, Walgreens in the url… that’s my guess, still not clicking it

Generic ones sold as store brands by CVS, Walmart, Target and Walgreens

Generic Mucinex

Including Walgreens’ version of Anbesol, an oral pain reliever; Walmart’s Equate brand face moisturizer with sunscreen; and Rite Aid’s version of Bengay muscle rub.

Those were the mentioned ones

silence7 OP ,

I used a gift link so that people don’t hit the paywall

Mouselemming ,

Also and perhaps more important, the benzene is used to make it slow-release. So I think if you just keep a bottle of guaifenesin around and have another dose every 4 hours you should be better off. But I’m not a pharmacist so ask yours first.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Perrier got a huge amount of negative press when it was discovered that benzene was found in their bottles and did a massive recall back in 1990.

That was when the news actually reported on important things in a big way.

This will mostly get ignored.

MagicShel ,

The loss of journalistic integrity is the most damaging result of the enshittification of the internet. I’ve thought for years about how to fix this, but I can’t think of any way. Information is a commodity with no intrinsic value. So “news” whores itself out to donors with an agenda or advertisers.

This was supposed to be better than the gatekeeping of the 70’s and 80’s where you had a few major papers and 3 TV stations, and they could bury stories that went against their self-interest or agenda. But somehow we’ve made it worse.

Two things I would never go to school for these days: teaching and journalism. And that’s fucking tragic because those are maybe the two most important jobs there are.

Lemming6969 ,

This is why we have public funding and government and laws.

AmidFuror ,

I don't know about you, but I consume water more often than cold medicine.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I have absolutely no idea what your point is. I drink more water than Pepto Bismol, but if there was mercury in it, I would sure as hell want them to stop selling the Pepto Bismol with mercury.

AmidFuror ,

The dose makes the poison. What was the benzene level in Perrier compared to these medicines, and then how much was a person likely to consume in a year? Without a discussion of dose, it's pretty meaningless.

California has Prop 65, which is rendered virtually useless because everything is carcinogenic to some degree.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

First of all, plenty of people take Mucinex every day, especially in allergy season.

Do you know what the safe daily dosage of benzine is? I bet it’s not especially high when we’re talking about something cumulative. And why should people take that risk when the article says this is just about saving money and there are safer alternatives?

This is some weird defense of big pharma.

MadLegoChemist ,

This article is talking about benzene, not benzine FYI.

The allowable limit in drinking water by the EPA is 5 ppb. Inhalation exposure limit by OSHA is 1 a 5 ppm per day (inhalation is not an apples to apples comparison to consumption though). I’m not a toxicologist so I don’t know what exposure amount is “safe”, but dosage does matter.

This article mentions benzene coming from the carbomer in these formulas. The benzene is a residual impurity in the carbomer making process, and there are carbomer on the marketplace that don’t use benzene in their manufacturing process, but they are more expensive. I’m not sure the source of carbomer for these products, but I’ve seen reported on carbomer I’ve looked at to have up to 1 ppm of benzene impurity. Products like this might use carbomer up to 0.5 to 1%. So you’d expect maximum levels of benzene to be in the product (at the aforementioned levels) to be 10 ppb. So possibly at double the amount allowable in drinking water by EPA. People drink a lot more water than cough syrup (I hope) so it might not be that concerning.

The article frustratingly does not give amounts of benzene found in these products so it could be sensationalist—I just don’t know. So is benzene bad—yes. Does the cough syrup have concerning levels of benzene? Maybe, but just saying benzene might be present isn’t enough information in my opinion.

whostosay ,

I think what he’s getting at is, it has benzene, it’s got what plants crave.

disguy_ovahea ,

They also had a magnesium filter fail shortly after. They survived the bad press by buying up US water brands before the boycotts could take them down. They picked up Poland Spring, Great Bear, Deer Park, and San Pellegrino. Their only real competition was Evian until Dannon got big into the water game.

newthrowaway20 , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

In the context of what he was talking about, it seemed like that was his weird way of trying to make Venezuela sound like a better place than what America would be under Kamala Harris. Best thing you can do really is just completely ignore this guy because he thrives on attention, negative or positive.

Gingerlegs , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

lol, adding more reason to vote against himself every day. Gotta love it

Pretzilla , (edited )

As a convicted felon he can’t vote for or against himself

Ed: if there was any justice in the world

st3ph3n ,

He can since he was convicted in New York and is registered to vote in Florida, Florida will follow NY’s guidelines and permit him to vote. If he was convicted by a Florida court he would be ineligible to vote there, but I guarantee that DeSantis would have pardoned him to fix that.
