▼ + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Casey Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

To spare you a bad experience, Ridgway told BI her top red flags to look out for at a bar so you know when to make a beeline toward the exit. But if you're rolling up to a "craft cocktail bar," there shouldn't be a swarm of low-quality spirits. Ridgway said it's common for a bartender to join regulars for a sip of something boozy throughout the night. "I don't go to a bar to have someone not fully in control of their faculties mix me a drink," she told BI. A dismissive bartender is a tough sell for RidgwayWhen you go out to a bar, you're handing over some of your hard-earned dollars for the beverage of your choice.

☆ We almost had a secret Deadpool Christmas movie — and it was going to be marketed as a deliberately bad buddy cop movie to avoid leaks

Reynolds revealed on an episode of "Hot Ones" that he had once planned to promote an intentionally bad-sounding movie called "Alpha Cop" as a ruse. As Reynolds pointed out on "Hot Ones," marketing a fake movie would help with leaks of what was being cooked up for the next Deadpool movie. "Ryan's idea was, the $100-plus million that studios spend on marketing a big Marvel movie, fuck that, let's do 'Alpha Cop,'" Wernick said. There was even an 'Alpha Cop' poster made. "Deadpool & Wolverine" is in theaters now.

While the returns policy on electronic goods is now 90 days, until 2007, Costco members had an unlimited returns policy on electronic goods — excluding personal computers. It's far from the only example of Costco returns. Bean used to offer a legendary lifetime returns policy but switched to a one-year return limit in 2018 after some customers abused it.

One by one her girls fell sick with what doctors diagnosed as hepatitis A, a viral liver infection that is transmitted through person-to-person contact or contaminated food or water, and can spread quickly in unsanitary conditions. More than 100,000 people in Gaza have contracted acute jaundice syndrome, or suspected hepatitis A, since the war between Hamas and Israel began on Oct. 7, the World Health Organization said last week. There are also nearly one million cases of acute respiratory infections, half a million cases of diarrhea and 100,000 cases of lice and scabies, the W.H.O. On Friday, the agency’s chief, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that even polio, a disease that has been eradicated in much of the world, was present in Gaza.

The discovery at the presidential office Wednesday came after South Korean authorities warned the public to beware of falling objects as suspected North Korean trash balloons moved south toward the northern area of Gyeonggi province. “While monitoring trash balloons sent by North Korea in cooperation with the Joint Chiefs of Staff today, we identified trash that fell in the presidential office area in Yongsan,” the presidential security service said later in a statement. “North Korea’s actions clearly violate international law and seriously threaten the safety of our citizens,” JCS said in a statement after an earlier balloon incident. Despite repeated North Korean warnings, the South Korean activists were “not stopping this crude and dirty play” she said. The South Korean Defense Ministry said the US planes will join with South Korean F-15, F-16 and FA-50 fighters in exercises that will end August 8.

Children walking near stagnant wastewater on their way to a food distribution point in Deir al Balah, in central Gaza, last week. The large number of people treated for war injuries — almost 90,000, Gaza’s health ministry says — and the surge in illness have overwhelmed Gaza’s diminished medical system. The Israeli military has launched two operations at Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, fighting deadly battles with militants there. Before the war, Gaza’s health care system was “reasonably well functional,” said Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, the W.H.O.’s representative to Gaza and the West Bank. Now, fewer than half of its facilities remain even partly operational, he said, and its health care work force is severely depleted.

While working there, I never felt indifferent toward the company; I either loved or hated it. Amazon felt like an engineer-driven company because technical engineers had control over entire projects versus being assigned small tasks by non-technical managers. As a senior engineer, I ran a training on "customer obsession," one of the main "leadership principles" that define Amazon employees. Because there are so many principles, managers could use them in contradictory ways.

Its owner, Brigitte Kruse, formed a relationship with Elvis' ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, and has even acted as her power of attorney. The questions over some of Kruse’s Elvis items reflect the murky world of celebrity memorabilia. The problem, these collectors say, is that there are dishonest people with Elvis ties providing bogus items to auction houses. In her suit, Priscilla said they were introduced by a mutual connection who said Kruse wanted to discuss her business selling Elvis memorabilia. In the days before the auction, Priscilla did media interviews explaining why she was endorsing it.

"The massive daily swings reflect a manic market becoming unglued," the head of Rosenberg Research wrote in his daily market note Friday.
