@MichaelKudrna Chain pizza deal pricing is nearly inflation proof. Domino’s has been on a $7.99 large carryout price point for at least 15 years. Pizza Hut is on a $10 large pizza price point, which it was on in 2010.
🚨🗣️⛳️ #NEW — Brooks Koepka reacts after firing a 64 in Myrtle Beach: “That's the most excited I've been playing golf in a long, long time… I would say back until '23, the PGA. That's the most, it's been a long time since I've had fun playing golf.”

@CXCarroll@BirdNewEngland BK Reddit page overwhelming positive on the updated whopper. Could be anecdotal. Or the brand is getting people to post positive stuff. But a lot of people giving it great reviews and talking about going to BK for the first time in a long time.
@sodacitysimpson And if you are thinking of going to Moe’s… I went to the Moe’s on Devine a few months ago & it was one of the worst run food places I have been to in a long time. No customers yet filthy dirty and the workers screwing around with 3 on their phones and only 1 doing anything.
Biggest story in Japan right now is this mobile roasted sweet potato truck catching on fire, blasting full speed through red lights and driving right up to the fire station.
These sometimes drive thru my hood, albeit in less gaudy trucks.
• be Morris Chang
• survive WWII in China, escape to America in 1949
• go to MIT, fail the PhD qualifying exam twice
• decide academia is a trap, join Texas Instruments
• spend 25 years climbing the ranks, building their entire semiconductor division into a global powerhouse
• get passed over for the CEO job because of corporate politics
• 1985: you are 54 years old. Most executives are buying golf clubs and preparing to retire.
• the Taiwanese government begs you to move to a tiny island and build their tech sector from scratch
• you look at the global chip industry and see a massive, glaring inefficiency
• the industry rule at the time: "Real men have fabs" (if you want to design chips, you have to spend billions to build the factory to make them)
• Chang realizes: "What if a factory just prints everyone else's designs, and promises never to compete with them?"
• 1987: founds TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) at age 56
• invents the "pure-play foundry" model
• traditional hardware giants like Intel and IBM laugh at him for just doing the "dirty work"
• suddenly, a guy named Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) and companies like Apple realize they can design world-class chips without spending $10 Billion on a factory
• TSMC single-handedly births the entire "fabless" technology industry
• scales the physics down to the atomic level, printing circuits smaller than a biological virus
• becomes an absolute, unbreakable monopoly on advanced human technology
• accidentally builds a "Silicon Shield" around Taiwan
• the US and China both realize that if Morris Chang's factories go offline for a single week, the entire global economy (smartphones, fighter jets, AI, car manufacturing) instantly collapses
• steps down, comes out of retirement at age 78 during the 2008 financial crisis to ruthlessly fire the CEO, doubles R&D spending while everyone else is panicking, and permanently crushes Intel
• 94 years old, smokes a pipe, plays competitive bridge, and controls the single most important bottleneck on planet Earth
"We do not compete with our customers. We are everybody's foundry."
Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina. He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.
Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized.

@jonathanmaze Fantastic breakdown. Can’t help but think having the mastermind Doyle leading and personally invested in the business is a key part of the long-term strategy. He provides stability and a move away from a quarter to quarter approach that is the downfall of many systems.
