"with its new system, third-party contractors prepare the dough instead while following Panera's recipes and instructions. The dough is then partially baked, or "par-baked," at those sites before being frozen and shipped to cafés for final baking."
IPA wasn't bad but my favorite 3 Floyds beer is Gumballhead (American Wheat Pale Ale). They finally have a distribution channel to the STL area!

Lying liars, grasping grifters and sucking sycophants worshiping their masters Trump and Musk while screwing the public. Why would anyone have any confidence in this administration or its fiscal policies?

This one made me chuckle. Reminded me of John Stewart saying "The Gremlin was invented so the Pinto wouldn't feel so bad about itself".
A new study says you're 17 times more likely to be killed in a Tesla Cybertruck than you are in a Ford Pinto.

Doing my #gardening on this beautiful cool morning and finding many dead cicadas. Such a long wait in the ground for such a brief bit of freedom.
And then I thought about working before retirement ....

Health Care Platforms Need a Strategy Overhaul
To succeed, digital health platforms must shift their approach in three key areas.
"digital platforms typically extend rather than replace the established ecosystem ... can currently substitute for, at best, only about half of incumbent offerings in primary care and much less than that in specialty care"

"the health care context requires platform entrants to carefully consider interdependencies between the scope of services provided, the geographical markets to enter, and the integration of and interface between digital and physical health care."

She is tough as nails!

Is there any good use for old and ancient iPads?
I inherited a couple devices. The laptop was so thoroughly hacked I gave up - HP locked down the bios making it pretty hard to install #Ubuntu and UNETbootin wasn't working because the hacked device was blocked from downloading an ISO given my limited skills. Plus I didn't want to spend hours working trying to rescue a 10 year old hacked laptop.

Stein's Law: "Anything that can't go on forever will eventually stop."
Keynes's: "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
"Verizon has done an admirable job of balancing on a knife edge between Stein and Keynes, proving that a business can remain large, its products relied upon by millions, its stock actively traded and its market cap buoyant, despite manifest, repeated incompetence and waste on an unimaginable scale"

Mississippi disenfranchises nearly 11% of its voting age population, the highest percentage in the country. The impact of felony disenfranchisement on the state’s Black population is particularly staggering: “African Americans constitute 36% of Mississippi’s voting age population, but 59% of its disenfranchised individuals.
African American adults are thus 2.7 times more likely than white adults to have been convicted of a disenfranchising crime”
