    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    I wonder if the mechanism will be like what 8bitnes said. It will be $X starting at like 10:30am, but drop down starting at 2pm. Then if someone is in line, and it goes down, its "yay" instead of "that's a ripoff".

    AP has Kansas back ahead of ISU lol

    There's only 62 AP voters in the AP poll?? I would have thought it would be closer to 200. And one of them is Leastikow... FWIW, the 6 outliers on ISU all have Duke and UNC higher, that's the main difference I could see.

    Marketing man! Same result, but happier spin.

    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    Not much different than off-peak airline pricing. Charge more when demand is higher. Actually makes more sense for a restaurant, really. When it's busy they have to have more workers, which is a big cost driver. So I kind of get it. The optics are not great, though, never are for price...

    So how good is the Big 12 in Basketball this year?

    Just to reference the original question - how good are any other conferences? The Big East to me looks like a great UConn, a frisky Marquette and Creighton, and then... very very average. B1G is basically Purdue and a bunch of really meh and really bad teams. And all of them, including...

    Property Insurance

    Compounding the problem is rebuild costs are up a ton due to inflation. So more losses on top of higher costs of those losses. Double whammy.

    Filtering via metrics is good, but you have to add some other factors to it as well. Momentum - are they hot, or fading? Location - do they have to play another team in their backyard? Coaching - plus or minus? Here's your "don't pick them too far" list right here: Zona, Purdont, Tenn...

    Cal is a BIG and EXPENSIVE name, and Texas likes BIG and EXPENSIVE.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    That's probably about right. But Toyota has never ever been the bleeding edge of technology - they've always been 2nd gen tech for maximum reliability. Thus the bulletproof (but 18mpg) engine in my 4Runner. Feels like their approach on EV matches that. So in 2040, they will have the most...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    That is interesting. A lot of something good is better than a little of something great? From a corporate standpoint, I think they think the window on EV isn't truly open yet and for sometime hybrids are still the way to go, both for practicality and profitability. Sort of like the...

    Coaches getting Technicals

    Usually somewhere between the 12 and 8 minute mark of the 1st half. He will go get one, and then usually things start going KU's way. Absolutely a tactic he uses. And he usually does it when the opponent already has the ball, so that saves a possession. Just a master of the deliberate T.

    Bracketology 2024

    Edey could take a direct hit from an RPG and still lumber up and down the court and score 20. The key to Purdue is always their guards. The Greeks knew it. The Carthaginians knew it. And now YOU know it too...

    Bracketology 2024

    That's why it is so great. You get chaos and upsets, yet still a deserving team wins it all. There's probably 4-8 teams that COULD win it, but most of them will get whacked en route. I'd put AZ, UH, UConn, UNC, and maybe Marquette, Duke, and ISU on the list. One of those will be the champ.
