Due to franchisee bankruptcy, Popeyes has taken over 14 KFC stores and is converting them to Popeyes Louisiana Kitchens. Popeyes will grow from 1 store in Minneapolis to 15 stores including 1 very near me. I've NEVER eaten Popeyes! So Hive mind, is this a good thing? What's best thing on Popeyes menu? #inquiringminds

From newspaper reports KFC got surprised by franchise holder bankruptcy and Popeye's bid for property satisfied creditor and judge before KFC could react. KFC is (apparently) miffed to have the competition in a market they pretty much had sewn up. I'm looking forward to playing the coupon game. I do like KFC pot pies after all.
- WarLord
I like a lot of the food from Popeyes, but some of it is just spicy for spicy's sake, without much flavor. Their Dirty Rice, for instance, is actually really dry and somewhat bland, but rather spicy. Their mashed potatoes & gravy, however, are awesome.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I got aggravated with my folks for buying so much chicken, but I did prefer Popeyes' biscuits

I'm allergic to Popeye's fried chicken as they are made with diary products. Though I can eat KFC without much reaction.

Wikipedia bumps women from 'American novelists' category | Books | guardian.co.uk - http://www.guardian.co.uk/books...
AJ Batac, Halil, Soup in a TARDIS and 7 other people liked this
"Wikipedia has a category for "American novelists", but it runs to so many names that the site has said "pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable". Yesterday, the authors – and females – Amanda Filipacchi and Elissa Schappell noticed that editors had begun moving women "one by one, alphabetically, from the 'American novelists' category to the 'American women novelists' subcategory", wrote Filipacchi in the New York Times. "If you look back in the 'history' of these women's pages, you can see that they used to appear in the category 'American novelists', but that they were recently bumped down. Male novelists on Wikipedia, however – no matter how small or obscure they are – all get to be in the category 'American novelists'.""

"Their observations sparked a widespread condemnation of the policy on social media. "Women writers are consistently underrepresented, their work receiving much less attention than that of their male counterparts.

Virgin Launches In-Flight Creeping to Make Air Travel Even Worse - http://gawker.com/virgin-...
Tamara J., AJ Batac, Kelli H. and 7 other people liked this
"In an effort to promote the launch of its ultra-cheap Los Angeles to Las Vegas route, Virgin introduced a new "Seat-to-Seat Delivery" option that allows passengers to hit on other passengers by sending them unsolicited drinks, meals, and snacks through the in-flight entertainment system. The purpose of this feature, according to airline president Sir Richard Branson, is to help Virgin travelers "get lucky." "I'm not a betting man, but I'd say your chance of deplaning with a plus-one are at least 50%," Branson says in a video explaining how the function works."

Long-term care in aging US: Not for me, poll says - Yahoo! News - http://news.yahoo.com/long-te...
Halil, AJ Batac, Kirsten and 14 other people liked this
"We're in denial: Americans underestimate their chances of needing long-term care as they get older — and are taking few steps to get ready. A new poll examined how people 40 and over are preparing for this difficult and often pricey reality of aging and found two-thirds say they've done little to no planning. In fact, 3 in 10 would rather not think about getting older at all. Only a quarter predict it's very likely that they'll personally need help getting around or caring for themselves during their senior years, according to the poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That's a surprise considering the poll found more than half of the 40-plus crowd already have been caregivers for an impaired relative or friend — seeing from the other side the kind of assistance they, too, are likely to need later on... The poll found most people expect family to step up if they need long-term care — even though 6 in 10 haven't talked with loved ones about the possibility and how...

"The AP-NORC Center poll found widespread support for tax breaks to encourage saving for long-term care, and about half favor the government establishing a voluntary long-term care insurance program. An Obama administration attempt to create such a program ended in 2011 because it was too costly. The older they get, the more preparations people take. Just 8 percent of 40- to 54-year-olds have done much planning for long-term care, compared with 30 percent of those 65 or older, the poll found."

"...The harsh reality: Medicaid, the federal-state program for the poor, is the main payer of long-term care in the U.S., and to qualify seniors must have spent most of their savings and assets. But fewer than half of those polled think they'll ever need Medicaid ..."

We got our policies started about a year after marriage. It's much cheaper to start younger. Also, we knew we weren't planning on having children, so there would be no one to care for us in our advanced years. Even if we had children, we still would have done it though. Of course, my parents instilled a certain sense of responsibility in regards to adequate insurance.

I'm not going to deny that doctors can often be uncaring, ill-tempered assholes who don't listen. I certainly have my bad days. But the idea that some programmer who will never see a single patient in their life can instruct a machine to have even more empathy than the average M.D./D.O./P.A./N.P. just strikes me as the acme of ludicrous insanity.
AJ Batac, Stephen Mack #TeamMomo, Jennifer Dittrich and 5 other people liked this
Two reasons why you are wrong. 1) People will have lower expectations of a machine. 2) A programmer can socially engineer a better empathetic experience. We've seen this through the AI challenges. It's not the hard to fool people.
- Todd Hoff
I don't think fooling people into thinking they're being treated by a real human being versus by an automated script is necessarily all that ethical, but what do I know.
- Victor Ganata
...but the programmer can download feedback of thousands (if not millions) of patients reactions to those doctors, and write a clever algorithm that will factor out the low-rated doctors... advantage programmers/data-scientists. +1 math. The doctors' records will haunt (or reward) them.

A machine that you think may care is better than a doctor who you are sure doesn't care.

So it's totally OK if I give you sugar pills instead of chemotherapy for your leukemia without telling you, because you seem perfectly fine now? The ends justify the means, I guess? Well, maybe you're right, maybe people won't care about such ethical conundrums.

Not even what is being talked about Victor.
- Todd Hoff
I believe it is similar.
- Victor Ganata
But like I said, I don't doubt there are many physicians who don't listen. But I suspect the solution to that is to find a physician (or physician assistant or nurse practitioner) who does, not to substitute with a machine that only feigns to listen.

Electric Garden Slug Fence - http://www.instructables.com/id...

"Slugs will ruin a vegetable garden pretty fast unless some serious means of taking care of them is implemented. The electric fence has proven to be pretty well 100% effective in my experiments to date. The fence consists of two runs of wires spaced about 3/4 inch apart running around the perimeter of the raised bed - one wire is connected to the +ve terminal and the other to the -ve terminal of a battery. An electric current will flow through the slug if it makes contact with both wires at the same time. The resulting "shock" with usually cause the slug to turn back. I've been using a 9-volt battery as the power source, the battery lasts the whole growing season but the voltage drops to 5 volts or so by the end of the season (my measurements). It's a good idea to check the volage once in a while to make sure the battery is still providing enough voltage (corrosion can be a problem at the battery connectors). A few years ago when setting up a new fence I didn't have a 9-volt battery...
