  1. Too late to edit post but the above Starbucks figures are for fiscal 2nd quarter of 2024, 13 week period ending April 30th. Starbucks financial press release here.
  2. I'm not saying Starbucks is in danger of going out of business, but this article says that Starbucks had a 3% drop in North American sales due to a 7% drop in the number of transactions. I skimmed the article so I may have missed the time period this covers but I presume it is the first quarter this year. Is Starbucks stable? I would agree with that statement. Growing? Those numbers perhaps suggest otherwise. Maybe overall Starbucks is growing. I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I certainly not an expert. I rarely hit up Starbucks myself as I think, like was posted upthread, the coffee is not that great. Your mileage may vary though.
  3. I believe there is a Surly member or two that resides in Michigan. Do any of them live near Dearborn?
  4. For less than that (seriously, the price on the website is $9,420) you can get a robot dog with a flamethrower. We are almost to the point of actually having sharks with lasers. Hell, those probably do exist in a DARPA aquarium somewhere.
  5. Does every county court house have a passport office? I just looked on the website for my county court house and did not see anything about a passport office. I live in a more rural county, so it would not totally surprise me if not every county court house has a passport office. I need to update my passport but I have no travel plans so this is not anything I need to do right away, but it is something I've been meaning to do and have been unable to overcome my inherent laziness.
  6. The Schwab has been stumped. Howie Schwab, longtime ESPN producer, star of trivia show, dies Also, for those of you hard core golf fans, Stephanie Sparks, host of "Big Break" on the Golf Channel, passed away. https://golfweek.usatoday.com/gallery/stephanie-sparks-golf-channel-reality-series-big-break-dies-at-age-50/
  7. Whitey Herzog is now in the big dugout in the sky. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39954883/hall-fame-manager-whitey-herzog-dies-age-92
  8. Pretty sure Jordan Spieth is not a Commodore and pretty sure Nick Dunlap is not a Longhorn. Luke List is a Commordore.
  9. What is their Surly handle? We’re addicted to naked cruises and have already spent $40K — here’s why we’ll never do a clothed one again There are pictures in the linked article for the curious.
  10. Personally speaking, for me to give a shit about the other SEC teams (at least the ones outside of aggy and arky) then the SEC had better do a 9 game conference schedule and some sort of regular rotation so we see the other SEC teams on some sort of frequent basis. Hard to work up any kind of hate for a team if Texas will only face them once every 12 years and will come to Austin once every two decades.
  11. Went with a frozen pizza for dinner. Pulled it out of the oven and cut it into 8 pieces. Turns out the amount of Cholula left in the bottle was only enough for 7 slices. Managed to push through the pain and consume the last piece.
  12. Or, if you are on an Air New Zealand flight, a handy urinal. Man charged after urinating in a cup on Air NZ flight
  13. Ape law > bird law > aggy law
  14. Texas leading the way in number of bee colonies and it is not even close. Wait, does America suddenly have a record number of bees?
  15. Don't think this one has been posted yet. Heard this the other day on Outlaw Country. I confess to not being familiar with Kimmie Rhodes. After hearing this I will make an effort to become more familiar with her work.
  16. This past Thursday the first ever tweet became old enough to vote. For some reason this fascinated me when I learned it.
  17. Necro bump. Searched and did not see anything anywhere else, so SIAP. According to Shooter McGavin, Happy Gilmore 2 supposedly in the works. Paige Spiranac doing some auditioning and throwing out cast suggestions on X.
  18. SIAP. Don't know at which Whataburger this took place, and it was against fire fighters in their gear, but dude has some moves.
  19. From the bathroom, Corn Nation has thoughts. Maybe better suited for the Nebraska thread. Feel free to move if deemed appropriate.
  20. I mean, there is kill, and then there is overkill. 2 Georgia men indicted on charges of setting off bomb at woman's home and plotting to release python to 'eat' her daughter
  21. Well this might just make me lose control.
  22. Is commentary on radio commercials allowed? The Zyppah commercials I hear constantly on the Sirius XM sports channels need to be nuked from orbit. Whomever decided that horrible New York accents was a good idea needs to be fucked in the ass with a rusty barbed wire dildo.
