Instead of having customers donate a dollar and giving them a coupon book "worth" $30, why doesn't KFC just donate those $30 themselves (or even half)? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

hm actually profits on drinks aren't as good as I was expecting. if I'm seeing correctly, a 5 gallon box of Pepsi syrup costs $105

if I do my math correcy that comes to $3.5/gallon (1 part syrup, 5 parts water)

we sell that (best price) $8.38/gallon and worst price ~$20/gallon

so yeah actually for the medium drinks that's a crazy profit margin of what like 85%? add to that the fact that there's ice, so you're not actually getting the cup full, I wouldn't be surprised with a margin of like 95%

that's why I give those for free half the time lol

can't really find anything else, not sure how to read these charts

only reason I go for that is if I'm paying cash because I'm willing to pay that little bit extra to not have change in my pocket

definetly true. I need to look at the next truck order, I'm curious what they're paying for this stuff. see what sorts of margins they've got.

I know that on cake for example they've got a ~50% profit

never bothered to figure out the other stuff

not losing profits? some of those coupons are half off, no way their profit margins are that high. but I'm sure that its outweighed by the extra foot traffic or something

I'm guessing it drives more profits

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 5 points 1 week ago

guess so, i thought ceramic would just be one thing but yeah that makes sense

Ceramic coating a car makes water bead right off, but the best brake pads and clutches are also ceramic (aside from carbon ceramic and carbon carbon)

Answered: basically ceramic is a wide range of materials with vastly different properties

How can I keep my forwarded port secure? (kbin.earth)
 

I just setup a minecraft server on an old laptop, but to make it acessible i needed to open up a port. Currently, these are the ufw rules i have. when my friends want to connect, i will have them find their public ip and ill whilelist only them. is this secure enough? thanks

`Status: active

To Action From

22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere Anywhere ALLOW my.pcs.local.ip`

also, minecraft is installed under a separate user, without root privlege

Anybody know how to get lossless audio on linux? (kbin.earth)
 

I pay for apple music, but all the linux clients seem to just be webapps which support 256AAC at most. Any way to maybe automatically download my library as flac and keep it locally (legal or not idc)

cant move services as every other service sucks (yes i have tried them all (tidal, spotify, qobuzz, deezer)

thank you all

Where can I learn about how to make coffee? (kbin.earth)
 

I've just reached the point where'd id say I have full control of the process (just bought a grinder, kettle has temp, I've got an accurate scale)

I've got a basic understanding of how for example water temp affects the taste, but not how to combine the right grind size with the right temp with the right beans at the right ratio

I do pourover

thank you all

live location sharing? (kbin.earth)
 

need to share my location with some people, are there any services that respect privacy? paid is alright as long as im the only one who has to pay (like if i can be a paid user but free users can view my location)

just dont wanna use google maps but if thats all there is then whatever

already checked out owntracks and zood, neither worked for me (needs to be cross platform)

EDIT: in response the responses, no self hosting, and has to be just ready to install, no buildning it yourself

im willing to sacrifice privacy here over ease of use, just hope i dont have to

Hows .jxl support these days? (kbin.earth)
 

I heard about this recently and decided to look into it. Seems neat. When I convert my existing .jpeg images to .jxl, they look identical, but take up only ~60% the space. Windows file explorer and paint dont support it however, but ImageGlass does. Considering converting all my images to .jxl to save on storage space (esp. cloud storage). Thoughts?

Best way to save battery? (kbin.earth)
 

stock pixel os had a feature where you could "pause" unnecessary apps. any way to do that? on graphene os currently. I already use saver tuner on extreme, but I don't need Google play services, or my email, or any of that. manually disabling the app also removed it from the home screen which is less than ideal. thanks guys. basically I'd like to reduce it down to SMS, call, music, browser
