Gromnir Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) the point o' sales numbers we offer is gonna be far more telling, no? have people list their five or ten favorite pizza toppings and you is gonna start to get oddities. 'ccording to business insider link we provide, less than 2% o' us pizzas is sold with pineapple. call that a staple is silly. heck, corn and mayo is popular ingredients on japanese pizza. am not gonna use such to call corn and mayo staples. "about as popular as pepperoni"? not in the usa-- not by a very significant margin. as an aside, we go to hawaii every year and we does frequent see spam as an ingredient in local pizzerias, though hawaiian pizza in hawaii is considered... gauche. HA! Good Fun! I'd trust that business insider source more if it didn't just copy a pie-chart off a random Quora post's study that does not include multiple options. Unless I'm grossly misreading it, it counts a single primary topping per pizza sold and then "assumes" 25% of them have two toppings. Quote: "The dataset does not include the impact of multiple options as this would produce unwieldily datasets." EDIT: Serious, Hurl is right. There needs to be more research, nobody agrees on anything except people like meat: business insider copy and pasted from quora, but so what? *chuckle* you are posting wiki sources for chrissakes, so am not seeing much room for complaint. the business insider does take from quora, but they specific noted the source o' the study and linked to the aforementioned quora posting that described methodology... as 'posed to your compelling polls? a colorful pie chart included to show pineapple on par with spinach? how is that more compelling? is it even helping your position? and yes, in a discussion o' staple ingredients for pizza, hurl did indicate pepperoni and olives as being on equal footing with hawaiian. am not sure how that helps either. is doubtful anybody is ever gonna do a serious study on the matter. thank goodness. is already too many ridiculous studies that were made possible by grant monies that coulda' been used far more wisely. we sure don't need more research on pizza toppings. even so, hawaiian appears to be a fringe specialty pie in the US based on every source supplied in this thread. serious. how is you reading the data?

Pretty sure I pointed out how unreliable my sources were. Several times. I owned up to it. You don't have to get salty simply because I said I don't think yours is any more reliable. But since them's fightin' woids I'll just say I'd probably take the word of Mintel over a random Quora post with questionable methodology, and to be perfectly honest I consider even Wookiepedia to be a more reliable source on real world things than Business Insider at all times and doubly so when they're just copying a little fluff piece. Kiss and make up? On a side note, I've never seen a pizza with spinach. The fact that some studies claim more pizzas have spinach than pineapple boggles my tiny brain. I would have thought it was more likely to get broccoli or artichoke hearts or even mango on a pizza than spinach. Edited January 21, 2016 by TrueNeutral

Woldan Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Today I ate pizza with spinach and goat cheese on it. I As a salami-chili pizza traditionalist I wanted to hate it, but ended up loving it. Who would have guessed that spinach could belong on a pizza?

Hurlshort Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I had a frozen Digiorno cheese pizza. It was easy and the kids loved it.
ShadySands Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I had class and ate some shrimp in a white wine sauce for dinner Tomorrow is definitely pizza though Also, we made a budget for the new year which is always never not unfun.

Enoch Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Laid in emergency supplies in case we lose power over the weekend - forecast is for up to 10-12 inches on snow I'm sitting here waiting on the Office of Personnel Management to make the call on whether DC-area federal offices are open tomorrow or not. The tyke's daycare has already announced that it'll be closed, so I'm not going in either way. So this will decide mostly whether I'll have to use Leave time, and whether I should be expected to check in on my email and maybe work a bit during naptime. The current WaPo forecast has us in the 18-30 inch total accumulation zone, but it isn't expected to start until tomorrow afternoon (and the heavy stuff won't start coming until after dark). I'm optimistic that we won't lose power-- service in our neighborhood has been quite consistent ever since they re-strung the lines after the 2012 derecho, and the winds should be high enough to keep tree limbs from falling due to snow-weight. Still, you can't account for the occasional idiot driver smacking into a pole or transformer. If we do go dark, I think we'll be OK. Our heat, hot water, and stove all run on natural gas and have worked fine through past outages. It'll just be a race to cook as much of the stuff in the freezer as we can. That said, I'm not really looking forward to a weekend snowed-in with an almost-2-year-old. He's generally a lot of fun right now-- curious, responsive to instruction, learning new words and expressions almost daily, but hasn't yet developed much of the characteristic 2-year-old defiance. But 3 days in the house is still going to get tiresome. (At his age, excursions out into the snow probably aren't going to last much longer than a photo-op.) I am continually thankful that he still sleeps 12-13 hours per day. Edit: The OPM call is in, and it's stupid. "4 hours staggered early departure" is just going to lead to a lot of resentful employees coming into the office for a half day (much of which will be spent complaining about having to be there) to avoid having to use leave or telework for the whole day, and then commuting home just as the snow starts to stick on the roads (or on public transit that will be in their midday "lower traffic expected" mode). Lovely. Ah well, there goes 8 hours of vacation time. Edit2: . Edited January 22, 2016 by Enoch 1

Blarghagh Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 which is always never not unfun. Goddammit, I looked at this for five minutes to work out whether it was a positive or negative. 1
Bartimaeus Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 It's not so hard: treat every negative as a -1, then multiply. So "never" (-1) * not (1) * unfun (-1). Outside of probably a few rare cases, it's not really accepted to put three negatives in a single clause like that, though. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
ShadySands Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I cancelled my TV and landline phone service today and I'm feeling pretty good about it. This cut my Comcast bill down to a third of what I was paying before and since we really don't watch much TV and the phone was only used to buzz people into the building I don't feel like either is any loss. Now I'm looking to buy my own modem so I don't have to pay the 10 dollar rental fee either. Free games updated 3/4/21
