IMO, Wendy’s has much better burgers. Haven’t had Carl’s Jr’s in a long while but I remember their “$6 Burgers” were pretty good.
Burger King, the meat quality seems to have gone downhill. Like an unchewable but in each meat patty. They used to be my favorite.
Edit: the “$6 burger” is now called the thick burger since it now costs more than $6

For those that complain about the first past the post voting, Alaska managed to pass ranked choice voting:

If you hate FPTP and the choices it gives you, don’t just sit out the election, that’s an inherent vote for the person you like the least. You can try to back a similar ranked choice measure in your state:

LordOfTheChia@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts1·10 months agoThey also included in the ruling that:
“Chief Justice Roberts determines that “official conduct,” which garners presumptive immunity under the Court’s framework, may not be used as evidence of other crimes when prosecuting former presidents.”
https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-supreme-court-s-presidential-immunity-decision
My understanding, a president having an “official” meeting with his staff regarding commiting a crime that falls outside of his normal presidential duties is no longer admissible as evidence for the criminal act.
LordOfTheChia@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Four Connecticut Dems are charged after video showed them stuffing a ballot box5·10 months agoWhen I think of “stuffing” I think of people creating wholly illegitimate ballots, which does not seem to be what happened here.
That’s exactly what ballot stuffing is and why what these folks are charged with is not ballot stuffing:
https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_stuffing
Ballot stuffing or ballot box stuffing is a form of electoral fraud in which a greater number of ballots are cast than the number of people who legitimately voted. The term refers generally to the act of casting illegal votes or submitting more than one ballot per voter when only one ballot per voter is permitted.[1]
If the absentee ballots they handled were either fabricated or if the voters they were from already voted, then yes it would be “ballot stuffing” but I didn’t see that in the article. Just “mishandling”.
Still best that absentee ballots are handled properly as to show the voter hasn’t voted in person.

I hope there’s some kind of backup plan in case the company goes under, gets acquired, or decides to abandon existing technology. Like placing the key tech in a trust of sorts.

Kudos!

About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized.
Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.
Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.
And there’s more!
LordOfTheChia@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk cannot keep Tesla pay package worth more than $55 billion, judge rules301·1 year ago55 Billion is a little more than Tesla’s gross profit from 2023, 2022, 2021 combined. 3 years of gross* profit!
https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/gross-profit
Maybe the board was proposing to Musk?
“They say you should spend 3 years salary.”
* Gross profit is revenue without subtracting manufacturing or production expenses. Net profit is gross profit minus the cost of all business operations and non-operations.
Edit: Tesla’s total net income from 2010 to 2023 looks to be less than 46 Billion:
https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/net-income-loss
So take all the money Tesla has made since 2010 (without subtracting the years they’ve lost money), take another 9 Billion dollar loan, that would equal 55 billion.
