Thx for the update.

My understanding is that PepsiCo is also one of the biggest of the corporations that declined to leave Russia as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.

Not since about 25 years ago. It was spun off from PepsiCo in 1997. And in fact it was not called Yum until sometime later than that – it was never Yum under PepsiCo.

Edit to add: I still don’t go there, of course.

I wonder how much money it takes to rebuild a blown engine in a new BMW 3-Series nowadays?

Edit: so I went and had a brief look in Google. It looks like they run between $6000 and $12000 depending on how powerful the engine is. So for a base model it would indeed be somewhat cheaper.

That’s an analogy that might appeal to the LE types.

That’s a separate issue from pay scales. Quality of the courseware should be enforced by the institution regardless of pay rates.

But I am also curious, which campus is this?

I don’t think that it actually answers your question, but I would like to point out that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas: a gigantic nuclear furnace.
