Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…

It's also great because most people won't even try it and I can just have the whole pie...

I eat it with hot peppers and blue cheese. The sweet/spicy combo is fantastic and the blue cheese brings a fantastic complexity to the mix.

Unexpectedly best combination I've found: pineapple and *cinnamon*, on a mildly spicy tomato sauce.

Who says I want all five flavors? Most dishes I eat and like don't have all of them.

In my opinion - I think pineapple compliments every individual component of pizza. The acidity of the fruit cuts through the grease in the cheese and compliments the savory flavor like a wine platter. It goes excellent with a good sauce, and can elevate a can of store-bought marinara with a sort of tropical pico-de-gallo elegance. The bread tastes relatively inert and doesn't interfere with the whole thing. If I just…

I've never thought as deeply about my love for pineapple on pizza as you have. Maybe I should grill some young pineapple and throw it on my next pie for that caramelized, charred flavour.

I'm done with Wordpress until Matt is done with Wordpress. Then (and only then) will I consider it for new projects.

Yeah. I have a good track record with picking things to bet on the future, and the people involved often color that. I stopped caring about bcachefs after watching Ken's extraordinarily unprofessional, gas-lighting (yes, I know how to use that word properly) behavior on LKML. Similarly, I cannot fathom anyone betting the farm on WordPress right now. It will coast for a while, but this is some childish, unserious behavior.

Schema deletions usually have to be rolled out in two phases. Maybe this is just a light-hearted approach to be immediately compliant w/ the ruling without making a breaking API change.

Apparently the last time it was just an html change, not stored in a database, but could potentially be stored in logs.

I guess I have enough FU money to say things like this, but I can't fathom getting to this login page and continuing. Do I think I'm actually making a legal agreement with these checkboxes? No. Do I think Matt is going to come after me, personally? (LOL, I don't think he has much of a grasp on the rest of our's shared reality right now, so...) no. But also, I have a low-bar of tolerance for insulting or abusive BS and this far, far exceeds it.

> That poor attorney. He won't be a poor attorney after milking Matt Mullenweg. The financial rewards of having to defend one of the most vindictive clients ever[1] are probably not small, especially when your client is so mentally stuck that they will see their delusional case to the last appeal.

If that’s genuinely an Automattic site, well… I guess I thought I couldn’t be surprised by the petty and spiteful depths Matt could sink to anymore. I was wrong. Infantile.

Unrelated, but you might be openminded enough to enjoy the bizarre but oddly harmonious combination of banana and dill pickle. I was getting my electrolytes balanced impatiently and discovered that they're inexplicably complementary.

You hooked me, can’t resist the recipe challenge : Caramelized onions (sweet), sun-dried tomatoes (sour), roquette salad or kale (bitter), olives (salty), and mushrooms or tempeh (umami) I’m hungry now

Now find me a place that caramelizes onions rather than sauteeing them into charred mush and calling it caramelized

For extra rounding it out, I also advocate sliced up chili pepper (jalapeno or whatever) My go-to pizza is pineapple and jalapeno

I like: Pineapple (fruity, sweet and sour), green olives (veggie, salty) and spicy Italian sausage (savoury, spicy). It comes with the added bonus of nobody stealing a slice either!

You said veggie like it was its own flavor. Honestly it feels right to me. Is there a term for the veggie taste or is it a texture thing?

'a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox' remove means gone, not altered or replaced. i think clarification comes next, offering a chance to demonstrate lack of contempt before being jailed.

On what grounds? He changed the statement the box makes by the user. It's silly compliance but O think you really have to go further than this for contempt.
