Sorry, but Domonos is the worst pizza on the planet. I tried it back in England in the 90's when I lived there and almost gagged. For a laugh I tried it here in Dallas a year or so ago...it was still nasty. Support your local pizzeria.
Here we have a Pizza Inn. Technically a chain but it has become a local fixture over the years and I they have a drive-up window so I can get a pizza
with minimum contact. There is also a local place called Linney's. The

Right? Great pizza. They say it's the water and I believe them. There are even bagel places out here that try to replicate a New York bagel
.. they just can't get the dough right, ever. I do miss the west and
the west coast for Mexican food though, the best I've ever had. Here
in Indiana they throw pizza sauce on burrito and call it spicy. Uhg.
We did have a Chewy's open here, which is a non so good chain that
serves Southwestern style Mexican food .. so I can at least eat there
if not in the mood to make the food from scratch.

HOWEVER, after having Chicago Pizza (In Chicago) and New York Pizza (almost every year, in New York) as many times as I have, there just
isn't much to compare. They are the best. I sure hope I don't start an East coast pizza war .. thats all I have to go by...
I assume that about the only thing more likely to be argued about in
the pizza world is whether or not it's reasonable to put pineapple on a non-dessert pizza.
Putting pineapple on any pizza is blasphemous.

You are in the Indianapolis area, right? There used to be a pizza place inBrownsburg called Racer's. I only went there once when it was called that. The pizza was not bad. Pictures of Indy 500 cars and drivers everywhere.The next May, it was called Adriatic Pizza. It had been sold to some folksfrom the coast of the former Yugoslavia. The pizza during those 2-3 Mayswas awesome!
I am wondering, do you have any "Mexican" places there that are run by realMexicans or South Americans? We have a few of those here in Central KY andthey are the best ones. I did visit a Mexican place over on Shadeland orSW Avenue when I was up there for a conference in 2017. It was not bad. Ihad a margarita or two so my taste buds might have been a little friendlierthan they might have been otherwise. :)

I am familiar with that type of sauce. Restaurants also use it here, but often also have an option or order (or add) something more "authentic" forthose that want it. :)
The people we should be concerned about are those who flagrantly disregard our new normal because it conflicts with their freedom or they have a "medical condition".
I witnessed a woman screaming at the top of her lungs because she wasn't allowed in a grocery store without a mask. She was being quite loud and obnoxious about it, making quite a scene, all the while holding up the (quite long) line behind her. At one point while carrying on she got almost nose -to-nose with the manager while screaming at him. So much for 6ft apart.
In my experience, the level of civility to be found is heavily dependant

But it is the biz's obligation to "convey" that masks are required. Now.. I personally don't have any signs that have "must have masks

Not at all, there are people who genuinely can't wear a mask (people who have COPD come to mine) ...
- But in those cases places like Fortinos require that you
wear a face shield instead. This lady wouldn't have any of
it, she wanted to walk into the store without either.
The biz had no right to "not" allow her in, if she was there as a

Yup, and that's exactly what they did. After she got near
nose-to-nose with the manager (he was wearing a mask, she
wasn't) was near the end of the encounter. After that she
left, again screaming at the top of her lungs, that she has
a "medical condition" and that "you'll be hearing from
lawyers".
It's hard to have empathy for a person who acts in such a way.
..I personally don't have any signs that have "must have

is how I "convey" the matter.
The City of Hamilton has bylaws in place saying that you
have to display this sign and that sign, in addition to any
other restrictions that the business would like to impose.
"Wear a Mask", "Do you have any of these symptoms", "Max
occupancy", etc..
There is one Pet Valu close to my house that has so many
signs on the door that you can't see in to know how many
people are in the store.

I dunno, covid is a pretty clear and present danger. It's
not something anyone wished for but it happens from time
to time. Hopefully these new vaccines will prove to be
effective and we can get back to normal.
The PCR is what is not only used to "test" for covid, but
is also what was used to "discover" covid in the first
place. I put those two words in quotes because, even
according to the nobel peace prize winning inventor of the
PCR himself, Karry Mullis -- the PCR is not a test. It does
not test for anything. It is incapable of testing for
anything.

Why do vaccine manufacturers have liability exemption? And
furthermore, why does this seem to be okay with a lot of
people when it is mentioned? Clearly they don't understand
the implications of that.
Why are there talks about force mandating a high
experimental dangerous injection, with an in excess of 3%
adverse reaction rate (so far!), ...
..and that they do not even call a vaccine, they call it
"an operating system".

Good observation. You would think that the biz owner can't
refuse service to people under those grounds either. But I
think there are some laws that govern decency that a biz owner
can fall back on.

After working at libraries for many years, I grew to enjoy saying,
"signs are for ignoring". Because _everyone_ misses signs, because there are _so_ many, because people want to get other people to do various things. Which, of course, is not the way to actually get people to do various things.
But signs are _super_ useful _when people are looking for them_.
These two aspects are often in conflict.
E.g., we had self-checkouts, and we _knew_ there were some common stumbling blocks. So, of course, we put up a sign.
So eventually I wound up helping a woman with the self-checkout, and
after explaining the workaround for the difficulty she was experiencing, she said something along the lines of, "you should put up a sign about that".
At which point I picked up the sign and said, "like this one?".
The temptation is always there for me to spin up my old BBS and bring back my old echonet. I've lost count of how many times people have as me to, or asked if I am going to, because they think it would be nice see.
Remaining "just" a user seems pretty solid.
There are plenty of BBSs out there, and any door games would be better if spread over fewer BBSs.
And messages are basically the same throughout the networks.
And files are probably going to be on the internet, or fairly widely available.
So, from what I can tell, the main reasons to run BBSs are:
1) You like doing fun things with ANSI
2) You like doing fun things with code
3) You just want to play around with BBS software
4) You want to engage in nostalgia for your own BBS.
3 and 4 are definitely, "it's entirely for you", and the first two
aren't far off.
But don't let that stop you, either. I started for the nostalgia and stayed for the ANSI and coding. Though I'm happily only about 100 ANSIs away from completing the first draft of my daily calendar project.
But if you're a user, you both get to experience all the various neat things about BBSs, and make a sysop happy that they have a regular
caller.
So, yay for users!

From the words of the inventor of the technique, PCR would seem
to be the WRONG approach for "testing" for the presence of
covid. But sadly, this test is the gold standard to diagnose
active COVID-19 infection in patients with symptoms.
Mr Mullis would be shocked by the misuse of his technique.
Which of course reminds me of a joke I tell often: "I'd
tell you a covid joke, but there is a 99.969% chance that
you won't get it" :D
I like that one!
Why do vaccine manufacturers have liability exemption? And furthermore, why does this seem to be okay with a lot of
people when it is mentioned? Clearly they don't understand
the implications of that.
Yes.. people seem be unaware of that little detail - and
ofcourse the media does not mention it often enough for the
reality of that to sink in. Manufacturer's want liability
exemptions so that they can produce untested chemical compounds
without concerns of being sued.
There was a report (and pictures) of a fellow who developed a
major skin rash, swelling and peeling shortly after receiving
one of the covid vaccines.
On the evening news tonight, there was a report of an increase
in covid "cases", but now they include ICU occupancy numbers.
Apparently the number of people in ICU is now suddenly higher in
the last month than it has ever been since the covid outbreak
started a year ago. I doubt that all those ICU units are covid
related - there are people who need to be in ICU for other
reasons too. What terrible spin of fear that is going on.
I am not excited about allowing experimental compounds to be
injected into my body if I do not have any recourse incase
something goes wrong. Other medicines have liability recourse,
but the covid product does not.
There are also some talks (gossip really) of mandating
"vaccination passports" :/ ..that would be used to control
access to public places and businesses.
I haven't heard that, yet.

On one side of the coin I see economic experts predicting a
major crash. But just tonight on the evening news was a
comparison that our economy is mirroring the roaring 20s that
followed the Spanish Flu epidemic.
I don't know what to think or believe anymore. Maybe that is the
goal of the media and the elite - and thus keep the public under
control by fear and confusion.

Not necessarily. The science has been clear for years that not only are masks completely ineffective in preventing the spread of disease, but
also that long term mask usage can be harmful in a variety of ways. It
is not about safety, it is about control.
So this is not as straight forward as "having no shoes and no shirt in
the store is bad hygiene". And if we're being honest, if the main stream media started telling everyone that shoes and shirts were dangerous, they'd toss all common sense out the window, forget everything they ever actually knew about hygiene and just do as they are told.
Oh, really? Has anyone told ER staff about this?
Jeff.
Oh, really? Has anyone told ER staff about this?For decades, the boxes in which masks are distributed come with a disclaimer that
surgery grade masks are not apt for defense against biological agents and diseases.
So yeah the boxes told the ER staff.
Actually I don't go as far as to say masks are useless ins this regard,
but they are
not half as powerful as people makes them to be. I think they are being
so heavily
promoted just because governments need people to believe something is being done, and
wearing a mask is a cheap way of achieving peace of mind for a lot of people.

How powerful is that? Couldn't you just take whatever protection they do provide, multiply by two and

No need to be aggressive.

No need to be aggressive.
All I am saying is mask manufacturers have been claiming their products are not to be used as protection
against biological agents and diseases before the COVID crisis hit, and that the effectivity of masks is
being magnified in the eyes of the public for mass psychological reasons.
Since the effectivity of masks has become a political topic, in which people takes tribalistic
positions and assumes everybody who does not agree 100% with them is a member of an opposite tribe, and
therefore must be destroyed, I am letting the matter drop.
