capt_wolf , in Starbucks’ CEO is out. Chipotle’s Brian Niccol is taking over
@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

Starbucks is sugary, trash water. Brew your own coffee at home. Costs way less, tastes much better, and it’s significantly healthier compared to the flavored milk they sell.

PlantJam ,

And if you make cold brew in advance, it’s saves a lot of time in the morning. It’s even good heated up in the microwave, but I drink it iced year round.

jwt ,

But if I brew my own coffee at home, how will people know I’m writing a screenplay?

@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

In my experience, anyone I’ve ever known who is earnestly writing a book or a screenplay doesn’t shut up about it, regardless of whether they go to Starbucks or not.

quicklime ,

Meanwhile, what they serve at Chipotle is not worth even half of what they charge for it.

CmdrShepard42 ,

Yeah both these companies have been run into the ground in my opinion. They’re just coasting on inertia at this point.

corsicanguppy ,

Costs way less, tastes much better, and it’s significantly healthier compared to the flavored milk they sell.

I don’t have the machine at home. Or that other machine. Nor can I make a fern leaf with the milk. And where’m I gonna get a lip piercing at this time of night? Be reasonable, man.

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

I’m sure Maduro will welcome him with open arms.

This is slightly at odds with many Republican legislators because many people fleeing Venezuela are firmly on the right. When DeSantis did his whole transporting Texas asylum seekers, one of the main issues was that money for that was not to be used for people fleeing Venezuela.

photonic_sorcerer , in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years
@photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Y’all actually need to read the article before commenting:

One of the major initial concerns—the wastewater’s mercury content—stems from what experts believe may be egregious typos within SpaceX’s records. Lab reports indicate polluted waters contained 0.113 μg/L of mercury, while subsequent summaries appear to misplace the decimal point to show 113 μg/L. If the former measurement is accurate, then Starship’s wastewater contains roughly 1/17th the legal mercury limit.

SpaceX has done some shady shit regarding their environmental practices, but this claim about mercury just ain’t it. Some of the comments further down go into more detail.

DarkCloud ,

That says if the former figure is accurate… But if it’s the latter? Then it’s 100 times more than 1/17th which would mean it’s waaay more than the legal limit… So it depends in which is the typo.

photonic_sorcerer ,

I’m going to assume a lab report is more accurate than its summary.

Doomsider ,

I am going to assume letting companies police their own pollutants is fucking stupid.

foggy , in Mom fights back in grizzly bear attack: ‘I’m not ready to leave my daughter’

Even a bear’s gotta understand that when it fucks with a mama near her babies, it’s fucking game time.

sunzu2 , in Disney wants wrongful death of LI doctor lawsuit tossed over Disney+ streaming terms

How is this not a criminal matter

thisbenzingring ,

It could be a difficult thing to prove who is at fault, and the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the staff at the restaurant were at fault individually.

sunzu2 ,

Like alec?

BossDj ,

Honestly, my brain went straight to, “Someone along that chain is one of those people who think allergy sufferers are just weak complainy people and faking it”

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

Yeah this is unfortunately a very common line of thinking. Restaurant workers get tired of people claiming allergies just because they don’t like something. And over time, they get lax with food safety practices, or even outright ignore them because they think the person is just faking it.

Even worse, some people will intentionally “test” allergies to see if the person is faking. Because they genuinely don’t believe the person, and want to prove they’re lying.

My buddy is deathly allergic to peanuts, and has had several reactions after explicitly clarifying with the server that there were no nuts in the food. And he actually ended up breaking up with a girl because her mom tested his allergy. She added peanut powder to some brownies she baked, then told him they were nut-free. He found out that his ex knew about it, (and didn’t warn him), which is what led to the breakup.

evergreen , in The Untold Hunt for a Sex Trafficker

What a horrendous situation. Some people are just animals… and I feel like I’m insulting some animals a bit by saying that. I googled, but was unable to find any info on whether he’s been to trial or sentenced yet. Hopefully soon.

Rhaedas , in Mom fights back in grizzly bear attack: ‘I’m not ready to leave my daughter’

I don't like the fact that they killed bears they found in the area afterwards. She admitted she was in a bad place to be, and her dog might have triggered the initial attack (but did a good boy and helped scare off more). So bears that were being bears died because of this. I started reading this as a happy story of survival, but now I'm just glad she managed to live and the rest sucks.

shalafi ,

Had a black bear wander in my dog door a few years back. The state biologist concerned with bears ordered it euthanized. I could tell she was heartbroken, but that’s procedure in such a case.

The contractor who works for the state set a trap in my yard for a week. Didn’t get him! Haven’t had a bear in the hood since.

Rhaedas ,

I do get the reasoning behind such a policy to prevent an animal exposed to behavior from repeating it, but it sucks so much death came from a simple mistake. Especially since the bears weren't even straying outside their normal area and just doing what you'd expect them to do.

tamal3 ,

Golly, bears where i live get into houses and trash all the time. To my knowledge none have been killed for it, it’s just accepted that people need to lock up their houses.

A bear also recently opened my car door, ate what it could find, and left with no damage to the car (other than a next level quantity of mud).

The differences in policies between cities are interesting.

bleistift2 , in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years

I think we would’ve noticed if they had crashed an entire planet into Texas, right?

MeekerThanBeaker , in Mom fights back in grizzly bear attack: ‘I’m not ready to leave my daughter’

It’s a bad-ass (though frightening at the time) story you can tell for the rest of your life. “I survived a grizzly bear attack.”

SeaJ ,

Except if you are like Allena Hansen who, as she was being attacked, did not think about her family or whether she led a good life. Instead she worried about whether her insurance would pay for rehab.

roguetrick , (edited ) in Former Kansas police chief formally charged over Marion newspaper raid

Glad they’re charging him with the felony. I really really hope he cuts a deal and incriminates the county council members that hired him to be their bulldog in the first place.

He did not go after that council member without their explicit instruction, I promise you.

solomon42069 , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

Why wait? Trump could leave the United States right now and we’d all be better off.

hannesh93 ,
@hannesh93@feddit.org avatar

Could he though? Isn’t he on bail?

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

Yup, out on bail while he awaits sentencing for the 34 felonies. And more charges are tied up in courts until after the election, but prosecutors have already started proceedings so he’d also be considered a flight risk for those cases.

solomon42069 , (edited )

So what I’m hearing is there are no downsides…

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

Well if that’s not a reason to vote for Kamala, I don’t know what is.

Since he’s a big fibber, maybe she could make it an election promise to enforce it.
