    Best Ingredient for Single Topping Pizza

    Any fruit that would taste good grilled would work on a pizza. I would personally like to try apples and apricots. I think pears would work too but I don't like pears. And I don't care how good it might taste, prunes on a pizza are a no-no.

    Pinapple is the most valid of all the toppings! As far as validity goes.

    A reply to nested quotes doesn't work. At least I can't figure out how to make it work. The "multi-quote" button doesn't help.

    The schedule has the Starlight at only ~30min slower than the Cascades. I did wonder why. For my purposes, the Starlight has a dining car. That's the difference. You'll find me in the lounge anyway. I wonder what time of day I should travel for the greatest people density? Nope, never traveled...

    Why C.A.F.E Standards are Dumb

    That's the thing. Even if I cared how people dress, people riding the bus at 7am and 6PM are going to/from work. My route took me through 2 housing projects. Everyone was dressed for work and cared about the same things: no gum on the seats and a schedule that was on time.

    Why C.A.F.E Standards are Dumb

    I had Kobe beef cooked on a hot rock (ishiyaki) last Wednesday. It was great! A couple of years ago I let a guy on the bus use my cell phone so this he could call his ride cause he was getting to the stop early. I could have sanitized it when I got home if I wanted to but I didn't. That would...

    I'm going to be traveling from Seattle to Portland at the end of next month and have chosen to go by train. It'll either be the Amtrak Cascades or the Coast Starlight. I'm leaning toward the Cascades and the $13 upgrade to business class.

    ha, I haven't used alt-keys since 1989 and umlauts. I'm woefully ignorant of international settings such as these. If international keyboards have the potential to move keys around are they designed to be more efficient than the qwerty keyboard (ala Dvorak))?

    Firstly the iPod is not particularly innovative especially from a mechanical/form factor perspective though it is definitely the most polished product of its kind. If someone does come up with a new handheld camera form factor I don't think it will be from the established players.

    I've had some goat's milk from the store and it was not particularly goaty. This fresh stuff (bought from a farmer) had an aftertaste that hit about 5 seconds after swallowing. Not bad but distinctive. I've sensed a similar distinctiveness with different brands of cows milk.
