  1. It could be that Starbucks is hurting due to the trendy "Free Palestine" based international boycott based on nothing Starbucks actually did. I'm into coffee, not sugar and milk, and I think Starbucks black coffee is decent when travelling. But yeah similar is available for cheaper but not everyone buys based on price alone.
  2. I never mentioned the color of a poster.
  3. No point as your reply before had nothing to do with what I posted.
  4. You are English? Pizza is bread? The earth is fat? "I love the . . . CRUST."
  5. Reading comprehension is a thing.
  6. Your reply has nothing to do with the post you were replying to.
  7. Of course you do. Imagine this. A topic about too many blacks on tv started by a member hostile to that representation in media. Then a later post saying I don't care what blacks think. What is that if not hostility?
  8. As usual you're wrong. The word crust as in pizza crust is NOT an Americanism. It's used widely that way in the wider Anglophone universe. Yes you will also find the word base used sometimes in the US as well.
  9. Thanks. Interesting. How about this example. A US person transfers in 30k usd in a year. His social security is 20k and the rest of the 30k being 10k from an IRA. So the American only has to worry about the 10k, correct?
  10. My plan is to try this with lower grade buds like popcorn. I won't touch brick with a ten foot pole.
  11. Trying to read between the lines am I correct in thinking that it's your strong opinion that US social security will not be taxed by Thailand after being transferred to Thailand?
  12. His cult of fans if their bubble even brings them this news will love him even more now. Don't ask me for a logical explanation.
  13. Cheese? Schmeese. The CRUST is a must! Types of Pizza Crusts: Learn About The Many Delicious Options (pizzaneed.com) WHY IS THE CRUST SO IMPORTANT? The reason is simple: the crust lays the foundation for all great pizzas. Without crust, we’d be left with an assortment of cheese, sauce, and toppings that would be more recognizable as leftover lasagna than pizza! This is an exaggeration, and cheese and toppings are delicious by themselves. Still, the point is that a crust ultimately makes a pizza work and gives its toppings their purposes. A pizza without a crust is like a car without wheels, or more appropriately, like a glass of water without a glass.
  14. An Italian dish outside Italy will be different to some degree either a miniscule difference or majorly, but that doesn't necessarily make the "foreign" dish inferior. In some cases it can be superior. Being perfectly "authentic" which is a can of worms word to begin with is not the only factor that food can fairly be judged by.
  15. Yes I recall reading about using already vaped weed addressing the question of whether you should separate the strains. It said no. It's all the same after being decarbed. I have been surprised as I use lower Temps to vape, usually Max 190 C that the already vaped week still packs a powerful punch. It's really easy to OD on edible weed if you're not careful.
  16. Just saying that's an unfounded accusation of fraud.
  17. His way of thinking about food is so incredibly passe. Food is global, now more than ever.
  18. I guess he would say it's impossible for that to be 100 percent the same as in Italy, which I suppose is true, but who the heck gives a flyin' puck?
  19. Maybe in Cloud Cuckooland it is. In the real world, it's one person loving a regional variation of pizza about all others he's tried.
  20. Terminal literalness is a scourge of humanity. It is a pizza. It's a regional variation of pizza. Italy has regional variations of pizza. Other countries do as well.
  21. I actually do understand regionality in food in Italy and other countries as well including my own. I do understand your point about toppings. Whats really annoying though about your posts is that they project an arrogant pomposity that you have some rare and special knowledge to use as a cudgel on the ignorant unwashed masses.
  22. I agree. Super great pizza much harder but again taste is subjective.
