Love it as a "secret sauce" on burgers. My local burger joint calls thousand island "burger lube".
We have a bottle of HP sauce at home all the time, it's like a better A1 sauce, and is great on fries.

When did ketchup on hot dogs become such a controversial thing? I've always eaten hot dogs with ketchup and mustard, as one variant (chili
dogs are another one). I don't recall there ever being a debate about ketchup on hot dogs, but this sounds similar to the pineapple on pizza debate..
my sister will eat potato chips, pickles, all sorts of things with ketchup.
it's weird because french fries go fine, people have pickles on hot
dogs. but those seem weirddddd

wrong (too much crust/bread). But it can still be good sometimes.

Bringing us back to the "ketchup topic"....
Back in college, I had a roommate who was... let's say "acted like he
had had a frontal lobotomy", to be nice. I.e. he couldn't think ahead.
Every week, I would get pizza fixings - just a crust/sauce combo, cheese and toppings - make a big pizza, eat a slice or 2 then put the rest in

After the crust is made, oiled and spread out in the pan, and the oven pre-heating, he opens the fridge and says "there's no sauce". Like the fridge was a magic box like the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter.
So he used ketchup (see what I did there?).
Then he opens the fridge back up and says "there's no pizza cheese".
Why he thought that pizza cheese would magically appear since the last time he looked, I have no idea. Now my grandma had given us some of
that gov't cheese - which tastes great on grilled cheese. So he grated some of that on to his ketchup covered pizza dough.
And third time's the charm, he opens the magic food box back up only to complain that there were no pizza toppings. No substitute here. He
puts his processed american cheese topped, ketchup covered, pizza into
the oven.
Needless to say, it did **not** turn out to be a good pizza. And he complained how his pizza didn't turn out like mine.
The CheeseSteak Shop in Oakland, CA had a great cheesesteak sandwich, steak fries seasoned with paprika, cokenotpepsi and those packaged TastyKake "twinkies" - which apparently are a Philly thing.

If You get one, place it on a microwave safe plate when using it

did follow the printed instructions.
I currently have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/West-Bend-78500-Breakfast-Removable/dp/B07KMVKDSP
That would be interesting. I wonder how the omlettes come out in the microwave, and if that makes it easier to cook omlettes. I like cooking omlettes, and over the years I think I've gotten alright at cooking them in a pan, where I can flip the egg mixture in the pan without it falling apart.
I'd be surprised if it was cheaper to buy a pizza at a pizza restaurant compared to buying the ingredients and cooking your ownat home. For a while now, it seemed to me that pizza restaurants tend to charge a lot
for their pizza, at least if you're buying a large one. For a large pizza, some pizza restaurants in my area charge about $25 to $30 or
more, depending on the pizza. When I was growing up, I seem to remember
it would often cost around $20 for a pizza that would feed our small family.
Some are less expensive, especially bake-at-home pizza shops (such as
Papa Murphy's). And of course, the frozen ones from the supermarket are fairly inexpensive.

ytalk... we had the Apple User club BBS back then, weirdly running on a 486 with an early Slak install. We had a 4 way ytalk chat with the admin guys that really new what they were doing. While the GF of the time and myself, still had training wheels on, we just happened to be hosting the hardware. Probably a few years earlier though, 92/93 maybe.
Back then there was no way to host a multiline dialup system on a Mac. AU/X didn't support PPP. Apple was dropping, and there was no software for MacOS of the age either.

Agreed although, to be fair, I really don't like pineapple on much of anything. Back in the 1970s, or maybe early 80s, there were some orange juices that included pineapple or grapefruit juice in them because, presumably, those were cheaper at that time. I used to drink OJ all the time but not when it had one of those in it. I didn't like those fruits
The one time I don't mind pineapple flavoring is when a ham has been

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.

Or in a van, down by the river?

Let us know how good it is. The school pizza was not really like flatbread in that the crust underneath was not thick at all.

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

It is also included on OpenBSD. I can see it working for
something like a shared Unix shell, but the system is very

That said, t is great the system comes with such a chat mechanism

She could, however, bake. I had a Braeburn apple tree in my back yard,
and after a harvest one year, she took a ton of them with her. She came back a couple of days later with a couple of the best apple pies I'd
ever had for us. Crusts from scratch, just the right amount of flakey
and sweet.

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.

I disown them, NZ can have them. Although the pacific islanders seem to have a thing for them, probably because they all get here via NZ :)

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.

Its not a great chocolate either. I'm certain that they make it out of
the scrapings off the floor.
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.

I'm in northwest Oregon. I haven't seen The Habit here.
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..

And it was good, though really more like eating lasagna than eating
Though, really, I should probably eat less pizza. :)

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.

No idea what Mounds or Almond joy might be, they don't sound to joyful though.
They're candy bars - Mounds is sweetened coconut in dark chocolate, and Almond Joy is the same but with a couple of almonds added.
