The one time I don't mind pineapple flavoring is when a ham has been
baked with pineapple. I won't eat the pineapple, but the juices don't taste bad on a ham. ;)
"I" can identify with that Loose Screw phrase.
Over here in NZ they used to sell fruit "flavored" drinks with an apple base. Mostly they all tasted like cheap apple juice with a hint of whatever fruit it was advertised as tasting like.
Much like yourself, I avoided them. I find apple juice just too overpoweringly sweet - its ok mixed with other stuff (and a lot of water) but by itself and some rather fake tasting fruit flavour, no thanks.
What is a pineapple lump? o.O
I don't remember them making us any cookies at lunch. The probably did and I have forgotten them. I do remember making giant chocolate chip cookes on round pizza pans in home-ec in jr high, though!

I like a good pizza, and I tend to like pretty much anything from
Costco. One thing about their pizzas is that they're almost too big for some home ovens. I remember buying one years ago and it was so big that it touched the glass window on the oven door when it was in the oven,
and it had to be squished in just slightly.

My dad, who was a teacher in that district, told me why the pizza was
so good.
Tuesday was chili day and the chili was also really good. What I

sloppy joe on the pizza was really the left over chili.

Genuinely interested to hear what your take on communism is? I'm pretty left leaning, believe that society and our governments have a duty to ensure that everyone has a fair deal, has their basic needs met when
they are struggling and has the same opportunities to get on in life regardless of who or what they are. I would not go so far as to describe myself as communist though.
Interested in hearing you views about what itmeans for you.
Could you please shift political / religious discussions to an othern thanks.
Apologies, i will be more mindful of this in future.
It's not necessarily controversial, it's politics that's banned. It
never ends well, results in rehashed arguments that neither side is
going to be swayed by and either riles people up or is just tiresome.
There are plenty of other outlets for peoples political ideologies and this net focus more on what brings people together rather than drives
them apart.
to be fair, here are a few things that are controvertial:bruh xD
amiga was better than the pc and should have won out. the c64 was junk
but people could afford them.
joe is a better text editor than vi and should still come with linuxwhats that
synchronet is better than mysticyeah..
lord is a mediocre door game
ketchup belongs on hot dogs
etc.
don't really need politics nor religion to argue about something.
i for one don't care for the "chicago dog" .. chili cheese onion and jalapeno is where it's at ;)
Anyone who uses joe drinks toilet water. Putting your .vimrc in git is
the way...
It seems the better technologies don't always win out. For PC operating systems, I thought OS/2 was better than Windows, but Windows ended up becoming the de facto standard.
Is discussing opinions on communism considered controversial?
But I want to know _people_, not political opinions. And I want to _like_ most everyone here.

So there are two components:
* The talk server, which is actually just kind of a little,
in-memory database of talk _requests_, and
* The talk client, of which `ytalk` is one but so are `talk`
and `ntalk`.
The way the protocol works, in a nutshell, is that you send
a talk "request" to a distant host by running the client.

Some of the kids joined when they first arrived here. The missus went a few times, using the same card. Dragged me along once or twice, but there's nothing to my mind that is a "compelling" buy there, and nothing appears to be any cheaper. Can't see how you'd ever cover the cost of the card.

You don't know what your missing. Though my Canadian colleague (my manger in fact) tells me that Whittaker's chocolate is worth buying up in bulk here in NZ before returning home, which he then proceeded to do.
I reckon I've covered the cost of the membership by fuel alone.
On average the fuel is 10-15c/litre cheaper, which translates to around $6/fill savings. Filling up 2x month, I probably breaks even on the membership fee.

Even floor-scrapings chocolate beats many other things. :D
The goes there 2-3 month to buy food, but only specific items (meat, seafood) comes to mind and she says its a lot cheaper...
All in all, I dont save that much I guess, but its convenient, only a couple of k's away.

Weren't most DOS programs designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio? I'd think you'd have the black bars on either side running DOSBox in full screen on a 16:9 monitor.

DOSBOX does text-mode stretching. I haven't tried playing a DOS game in DOSBOX, it'd probably pad a 4:3 screen.
So that begs the question, how much you're paying roughly and where you're filling. I've no idea where you might be able to fill. Generally the cheap servo locally tends to be around the $1.90 mark pretty reliably, making it cheaper than the nominal 4c offering out of Woolworths.

It seems the better technologies don't always win out. For PC operating systems, I thought OS/2 was better than Windows, but Windows ended up becoming the de facto standard.
OS/2 might've been better than Win9x, but it was not better than Windows NT (IMHO). And of course, IBM messed up the marketing of OS/2.
for example, "telnet vert.synchro.net 11" (that is, port 11) will dump the currently active users, and a program made to use MSP could send messages to them..

I saw that. I do like the variety of pizza in the area.
Weird in what way? A lot of the pizza in the area here is probably
pizza. There's also at least one chain (Pizza Schmizza) that makes some more unusual/weird pizzas (there's one with hickory smoked bacon, baby
red potatoes, roma tomatoes, and sour cream; a steak & potato pizza;
they also have another one that includes alligator sausage, and so on).
I wonder if you guys have "Brampton style" pizza anywhere? So Brampton
is a city near Toronto with a large Indian population. The butter
chicken pizza is amazing. (Butter chicken sauce as a base). They have various other's with indian spices. I believe "Popular Pizza" was the chain that started it.

Given Portland's reputation for being a little weird, that does seem like about the sort of thing I was expecting, with my comment.
I do appreciate unusual food options, generally, so it sounds like a neat place.

Yes, I'm Opinionated as everyone else is.
This was on a food topic, and I've tended to like food for this.
Because I think people should be able to passionately argue for why various foods are great/terrible, or that one should _always_ do one thing or another with a certain recipe.
And, at the end of it, people can eat whatever food works for them, and even if that's coconut (which isn't food; it's just "edible" sawdust), my opinion on the person hasn't changed, because my arguments, while extremely serious, are not actually serious at all.
People can eat whatever they like, and I'm not going to judge them, even if I'm totally going to judge them in the sense of one color being superior to another, when the difference is entirely subjective.
But it's nice when people are passionate about the food choices, even if they're wrong.

Are you eating the Kapok portion of the coconut? While I'm no fan of coconut in general, sawdust seems a little harsh. Unless wherever you
are gets only really dry shredded...
I mean the texture that you'd get in the candy bars that involve chocolate-covered coconut. So, yeah, it's not _really_ sawdust, but moistened sawdust covered in milk chocolate.
That said, my mom's favorite candy bars are Mounds and Almond Joy, so whatever I _detest_ about it must be enjoyable for my mom.
