During the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call last week, CFO Richard Galanti was asked whether the retailer would look at increasing the price of its all-beef frank as it aims to deal with tightening margins. After joking that "lightning just struck me" after he got the question — a reference to the $1.50 combo's mythical status at the company — Galanti said that it will always be other parts of the business that are keeping the hot dog's price in the same place it's been since 1985.

Despite the ongoing historic joint WGA and SAG strike, the fall slate is filled with plenty of new TV. Notably, a good portion of the fall’s most anticipated shows are British—of the 34 listed here, six are from the U.K.—a sign that more American TV shows are likely pushing back release dates in hopes that an agreement will be reached, allowing writers and actors to once again promote the shows. Comedies, with their oversize British presence (Dreaming Whilst Black, Still Up, Everyone Else Burns, the final season of Sex Education), reign alongside dramas over the fall slate. And a few shows make a case for less populated TV genres, like fantasy/horror (The Changeling), romance (Fellow Travelers), and sci-fi (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters). Animation, which is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, brings us Krapopolis and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. And The Super Models represents documentary, with testimony from the big four: Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington. Based on the 2017 fantasy horror novel by Victor LaValle, this eight-part series fuses genres. One part fairytale and one part horror, it also threads in parenthood and New York City idiosyncrasies. The Changeling follows Apollo (LaKeith Stanfield), a used book dealer, as he searches for his wife, Emmy (Clark Backo), when she disappears after the birth of their child. Continued here What really caused the collapse of the Maya civilization? - National Geographic (Premium)    Power struggles? Drought? Overpopulation? Whatever happened to the Maya remains a mystery—with clues hidden in the jungle. Maya civilization once stretched across a vast territory in Mesoamerica, in what is today southern Mexico and Central America. It was home to thriving cities and thousands of people, but over the course of two centuries, major cities would be emptied, with their grand temples abandoned and vivid artworks unfinished. Much like its ending, the exact beginning of Maya culture has been difficult to pin down. Many scholars believe it first coalesced sometime between 7000 B.C. and 2000 B.C. after hunter-gatherers from South America moved into Mesoamerica and settled there. Sometime around 4000 B.C., cultivation of corn, their staple crop, exploded, allowing Maya culture to flourish and expand. Continued here
