American entrepreneur bought a Subway franchise location to see if he could make money I got all the numbers, hereโ€™s a breakdown of how much money his Subway location makes in 1 month Revenue: - Revenue before coupons, discounts, DoorDash fees, etc: $20,766.56โ€จ(This is the figure Subway uses to calculate royalties.) - Revenue after coupons, discounts, DoorDash fees, etc: $19,903.24โ€จ 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: โ€“$849.82 He lost -$849.82 by owning a subwayโ€ฆ. He could have made more working at a McDonaldโ€™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

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 Hezbollahโ€™s use of fiber-optic FPVs in Lebanon. 1/
Roy๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ@GrandpaRoy2

Hezbollah fiber-optic FPVs continue to strike Israeli vehicles parked in the open and lacking any additional stand-off armor. Two โ€œNamerโ€ heavy APCs and one HMMWV were hit. Hezbollah has clearly learned from the war in Ukraine, but Israel apparently has not.

@MrJamesMay @graeme_cobb After decades of bland I had forgotten how โ€œdynamicโ€ 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 โ€˜Itโ€™s got soulโ€™ thing is lazy. Cars have mechanical and dynamic character, but thatโ€™s something different.

Cars donโ€™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. Iโ€™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. Iโ€™ll also be overwhelmed with grief when he goes. Iโ€™ve never grieved over a car going. Iโ€™ve really liked some cars, but I quickly moved on to the next one. It doesnโ€™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 Romeoโ€™s, a Lancia HF Turbo, a V6, straight six, V8, V12, plenty of turbocharged performance cars, a supercharged car and some EVs, theyโ€™ve all offered good, engaging, entertaining drives. None had a soul. Equally Iโ€™ve owned some terrible cars through hard times and they didnโ€™t drive as nicely and were less pleasant places to sit. They didnโ€™t have a soul, either. Some of my cars sung wonderful notes, but they didnโ€™t have a soul. Some felt like they pivoted from my hips, but they didnโ€™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 didnโ€™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 donโ€™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.

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.

@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.

Within 10 to 14 days, Iran wonโ€™t be able to storeย 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.
