Oldest ever genetic data from a human relative found in 2 million year old fossilized teeth. Genetic information from an ancient human relative have been extracted making it the oldest such data recovered to date. This remarkable discovery involved analyzing protein sequences from several Paranthropus robustus tooth fossils found in a South African Cave, dating back to around Two million years.

The old Sears building in Atlanta across from the old Ponce ballpark.  To the left of the Sears building was a Ford assembly plant, now it's lofts.  Thhe ballpark is a strip mall.  The trains are now the Beltline.  The Sears building is Ponce City Market.

When I was a kid, these were quite popular, and it was a treat for me to dine at one.  I could eat a lot of catfish.

I'm cool with more businesses being closed on Sundays.  Less business, more time in parks.  Could be that the old-fashioned folks knew a little more than they're given credit for.

I'm cool with more businesses being closed on days when their owners CHOOSE to be closed. 

I'm not cool with business being forced to be closed because of someone believing their deity will be offended by doing commerce on "his" day of the week. Blue laws are IMHO BS.

I have no problem with companies closing on Sundays or weekends for that matter.

Mine is. Yours is.

In 1923, a photograph captured Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, Ford in cowboy attire, and Edison seated in a car. These iconic American inventors shared a close friendship that spanned their professional lives. Ford's initial connection with Edison stemmed from his role as chief engineer at the Edison Lighting Company. During his spare hours outside work commitments, Ford dedicated himself to constructing his inaugural automobile. This passion project eventually burgeoned into his own automotive enterprise, later becoming one of the foremost successful car manufacturers in the United States.

I think CFA being closed on Sunday actually drives more business their way. Something about not being able to have something when you want it. I read recently their locations far outsell their contemporaries. It also must make scheduling far easier. 

I could take it or leave it. Nobody eats there because it’s always packed.

In 2022, the leading quick service restaurant (QSR) chain in the United States by sales per unit was Chick-fil-A. The chicken chain reported approximately 6.71 million U.S. dollars in sales per unit that year. Raising Cane's placed second on the list with an average of 5.44 million U.S. dollars in sales per unit in 2022.
