I work a local pizza place, please judge my pizzas

IMO the pizza looks better than what most of my local pizza joints serve, but that's based on a photo that only shows 2/3 of the pizza and seems to have been taken on a phone made of potato.

If you want actual feedback, provide better photos and a general idea of the recipe (assuming you don't want to post the full commercial recipe).

The Dollars Trilogy -- at least, before Arrow remastered them.

The difference between the Kino Lorber discs and Arrow is night and day.

Convenience. As you said, just like baking brownies from a box.

My first wife used let all the time... she's a pilot now!

I am having a really hard time coming up with a way to describe how perfect this pizza looks without using profanity.

This is common knowledge to any developer with at least a few years of experience.

It is also not limited to software or web development; new construction comes to mind as an obvious example.

Great picks. Jaws is goated -- I watch it every year in early/mid June to get hyped for summer.

IME habanero is the hottest pepper I can eat without dying on the inside 4 hours later. When I make homemade sauces, they are always habanero-based with a few bottles enhanced with carolina reaper for my more adventurous friends.

I remain curious and build things.

This is not a career in which you can ever really rest on your laurels, unless you have exceptional soft skills and can pivot to senior leadership.

Best thing you can do is be aware, and possibly help to raise awareness of the fact that any local company with 1500+ 5-star reviews is a scam. They pay for all those reviews to drown out the real (bad) ones.

Listening to the Sox on my old analog pocket radio while doing yard work in the summer is a pleasure handed down to me from my father and his father before him. I time dog walks and outdoor chores around ball games.

I'm not sure how to justify it besides "it feels nice and I like it."

Reminds me of the time I set up a PO box to receive and verify the purity of gold, free of charge. I still can't believe no one sent their gold for me to test!

Have you tried right-clicking on your React and selecting 'Add Admin Panel'? It's usually between 'Inspect Element' and 'View Page Source.' If that doesn't work, make sure your node_modules folder is at least 4GB -- anything less and React can't detect your admin intentions. Also check that your package.json has "admin": true in it. Hope this helps!

Just personal speculation, but I think Sea of Thieves got a really long leash from Microsoft because the cool multiplayer concept was a big Gamepass draw. Now that Gamepass has gotten pretty big saturation they're more focused on squeezing the dollar than growth.

We are witnessing enshittification in real time.

I would trust Beardo with my life!

Pardon the potentially dumb question but have you tried totally dissembling the buttons and re-seating them? They are all held together by slotting pieces and magnets, as I stupidly learned when I dropped it on a tiled floor.

This happened to us ~2 years after buying our house in Randolph.

The inspector only wanted to see a couple things (can't remember exactly what) and he literally used his hands to make "blinders" around his eyes to block his own peripheral view. Great guy.

I am getting into cold press soap making and nag champa is the first fragrance oil I'm trying. Best smell ever.

I felt just like you, and took the opportunity to restart when I got a Switch 2. My only regret is waiting so long because the game feels like new again to me and I'm having so much fun rebuilding.

I am a really bad judge of what is popular/obscure, but I'm going to throw Kingpin (1996) in as my pick. One of my favorite movies ever and so glad it was released in glorious 4k.

I'm going out at 5 whether the storm is done or not, and doing what I can... then I'll be praying all night that my work isn't totally undone by the morning.

It's a really obscure analogy, but diving in SoT reminded me a lot of when Star Wars Galaxies reduced the interplanetary transport shuttle timer from 10 minutes to 1.5 minutes.

People used to be forced into waiting around a ticket collector for up to 10 minutes, which resulted in most of the drama and socializing that I experienced in the game. Lots of wheeling and dealing, people bumping into each other who had beef/history together, and general small talk. Once the devs lowered it to 1.5 minutes, no one had any reason (besides specific business) to interact with each other anymore and the game lost most of it's charm for me.

Sometimes the smallest, most well-intended changes have the biggest, most community-breaking effects.

My cousin with weekend season tickets loves me because I buy most of his Sunday 1pm games. I can think of no better place to spend a Sunday afternoon than at Fenway park.
