🚨THIS IS WILD🚨 CBC's Rosemary Barton started out celebrating Mark Carney’s majority. Then a reporter called him “autocratic”… live on air. Watch what happens when he backs it up with receipts.

American entrepreneur bought a Subway franchise location to see if he could make money I got all the numbers, here’s a breakdown of how much money his Subway location makes in 1 month Revenue: - Revenue before coupons, discounts, DoorDash fees, etc: $20,766.56
(This is the figure Subway uses to calculate royalties.) - Revenue after coupons, discounts, DoorDash fees, etc: $19,903.24
 Expenses for the month: - Cost of Goods Sold: food, bread, meats, vegetables, supplies, etc.: $5,832.49 - Labor: wages $6,624.75 - Royalty Fee (paid to Subway corporate): $2,595.82 - Rent: $3,100 - Utilities: air conditioning, heat, electricity, etc: $800 - Miscellaneous small expenses $400 - Wi-Fi and Phone: $174.57 - Insurance: $303.80 - Set-aside for future loan / remodel: $1,400 Net profit for the month: –$849.82 He lost -$849.82 by owning a subway…. He could have made more working at a McDonald’s Maybe they would make more money if Subway prices were astronomically high. If they lowered prices back down, way more people would come through the door

@GrandpaRoy2 Copy that. I gobbled propaganda again.

@Derstrom13 That system has not proven to be effective.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense is seeking proposals for a system to counter fiber-optic drones, which are immune to traditional jamming and electronic warfare. The IDF has not been well prepared for Hezbollah’s use of fiber-optic FPVs in Lebanon. 1/

@RichardMorrison Should have hung a noose over his desk. Just to remind him.

I'd love to hear the story of the facilities guy in Huntsville who had to knock out part of the ceiling in von Braun's office so that he could fit the tallest rocket model without having to move the bookcase.

@EODHappyCaptain And chain smoke.

The night before running ten miles: Civilian world: let me eat some carbs and get some good sleep Military: let me stay out late and slam some beers so that I can sweat it out in the morning

@Only9built I don’t even recognize about 2/3 of those automobiles. Most would be shunned or mocked here.

Pick 1 from each row & match my selection.

@MrJamesMay @graeme_cobb After decades of bland I had forgotten how “dynamic” the character of cars could be. Then my lovely bride bought me a little mustang a few years back. I had a solo 150 km drive home on delivery. I nearly wept.

@graeme_cobb Agreed. The whole ‘It’s got soul’ thing is lazy. Cars have mechanical and dynamic character, but that’s something different.

Cars don’t have souls and people need to get over that. Whatever you drive your car has characteristics that may be unique to the brand, the model or the specification. I’ve owned many, many cars over 35 years of driving and not once did I sense a soul there. My eldest dog has a soul and I love him to bits. I’ll also be overwhelmed with grief when he goes. I’ve never grieved over a car going. I’ve really liked some cars, but I quickly moved on to the next one. It doesn’t mean to say that I have not thoroughly enjoyed some cars. I have. And I currently enjoy my current car. Having owned a few Alfa Romeo’s, a Lancia HF Turbo, a V6, straight six, V8, V12, plenty of turbocharged performance cars, a supercharged car and some EVs, they’ve all offered good, engaging, entertaining drives. None had a soul. Equally I’ve owned some terrible cars through hard times and they didn’t drive as nicely and were less pleasant places to sit. They didn’t have a soul, either. Some of my cars sung wonderful notes, but they didn’t have a soul. Some felt like they pivoted from my hips, but they didn’t have a soul either. When my cars broke down, I was cheesed off. In fact, I felt a sense of some being badly engineered (cough cough Alfa). They didn’t have a soul either. What tickles our fancy is a combination of great engineering, amazing driving characteristics, how well it steers into a bend, or the glorious noise from lift-off, or fast acceleration. It excites us, makes us want to drive it for no good reason, brings a smile to our face, but still it has no soul. It has great characteristics. We need to get past looking at cars that don’t appeal to us and slamming it as a soulless box. Some will treasure their cars irrespective of what it is, but for most people, they just need a tool to get from A to B and will either opt for a trusted brand, or great value. A few will look for cars with special features, great driving dynamics, speed and a sense of having the car wrapped around you like I did with my old -Y-reg BMW E46 with a nice straight six in it. But it had no soul. And it died after 18 years so off I went to replace it. No grief.

KFC is expanding it's Saucy concept. Already at 10 locations (w/another 5 planned), they seem to be putting a fair amount effort behind this. A short thread: 1/

The Russians entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them. They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

Long unofficially banned from appearing on state TV, incoming Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appears on a channel to which he was previously not allowed only to announce an end of "North Korean" style Orban media monopoly.

@erinotoole @BobR @AndrewScheidl Watch the movie “Relief of Belsen”. It will change you.

@BobR @AndrewScheidl Canadian war artist Alex Colville visited shortly after the liberation and painted some haunting images. Never again. Lest we forget. aci-iac.ca/art-books/war-…

81 years ago today, the British army liberated Bergen Belsen and its surviving 60 thousand prisoners, including my Mom.

@brianlilley Two things can be true at once. Most of what he says is true. The White House is inept and does not have a strategic plan.

Interesting take. Listen to Montana Senator Tim Sheehy as he ties together Iran, Cuba and Venezuela and what it all means for China and Russia.

@etkiIihaberyeni @PhilWMagness

Yeni Macaristan Başbakanı Peter Magyar, devlet televizyonu M1'de ilk defa konuk alındı ve şok açıklamalarda bulundu: -Bu kanalın haber servisini askıya alacağız. Bu benimle ilgili değil, intikam peşinde değilim. Halkımız gerçeği yansıtan bir haberciliği hak ediyor. -Orban döneminde iş insanlarına ve vakıflara verilen varlıkları kamulaştıracağız. -Orban'a yakın Mathias Corvinus Collegium Vakfı'na MOL (Petrol şirketi) ve Gedeon Richter'in (İlaç şirketi) %10'u bedelsiz devredildi. Bu hisseleri geri alacağız. -16 yıllık Orban döneminin ardından bu ülkede 400 bin Macar çocuğu derin yoksulluk yaşıyor. -Cumhurbaşkanı Sulyok, benim gözümde ve halkın gözünde artık bu ülkenin cumhurbaşkanı değil. -(Sunucunun kontra olarak Zelenski ile görüşmesini sorması üzerine) Bu esprinizi anlıyorum, hoşuma da gidiyor. Ama artık bu göndermelerinizin bir anlamı kalmadı. -Size göre Almanya çöktü, orada internet yok, insanlar seks bile yapmıyor. Macar halkı size gülüyordu. -Bu kanalda küçük çocuklarımın bile benimle konuşmadığı söylendi, oysa çocuklarım benimle birlikte yaşıyor. -(Sunucunun sözünü kesmesi üzerine) Bu stüdyoda hiçbir sunucu, Macaristan'ın en yozlaşmış ve en yalancı başbakanının sözünü kesmeye cesaret edememişti. -(Haber servisini kapatma kararının yasal dayanağı sorulunca) Bu kanalda birinin beni yasayı ihlal etmekle suçlaması, bir hırsızın polisi suçlaması gibi görünüyor.

@McFranchisee It must be quite a process when Coke cleans those for re-use.

I need to give Europe its due: Apparently in some countries like France, they have the MegaMcBIB. A 250L container of bulk Coke syrup. For those Americans trying to do the conversion, don’t worry, 🇺🇸 still wins: it’s 66 gallons vs our 75. I am impressed by a pallet of syrup🥤

@JohnCleese @CamillaCleese Good god what have you done to that thing? At first i thought it was a puppet and John hand was going to pop out of its ass.

Sharing a silly moment with @CamillaCleese’s dog-shaped creature, Hercules. 🐾

@WarMonitor3 I watched it live on ship tracker about 10 hours ago. Then it shut its transponder off. It passed most of the way through the strait and came close to the anchored ships to the south.

There is unconfirmed reports Iranian tanker RICH STARRY has just passed through the strait of Hormuz and has been turned around by US navy ships.

@WallStreetMav It’s common practice in the middle east to just dig a big hole and pump the oil into a pond. They have unlimited storage.

Within 10 to 14 days, Iran won’t be able to store oil and will have permanent long term damage to oil wells for extracting oil. Oil wells perform poorly after you stop the flowing process. Iran exports oil, but it also imports gasoline and diesel. Iran lacks the ability to refine enough of their own oil into gasoline and diesel. So very soon Iran will be running out of fuel everywhere.
