It’s half right though, the top one is correct -the bottom one should be the opposite way around.

Nope. Surely it has to resemble pizza to be sold as pizza 🤌🤌 This is a totally different paradigm from ranking wines.

Delicious, carefully crafted PIZZA from Naples.
Vs
Crap round dough with shit on top from Sunshine West.

Sadly, I speak from experience. You’re welcome to come try some of my try-hard crap, which is definitely better than chicken with bbq sauce, but not as good as what the pros manage. 🤌🤌🤌

Hydroponic basil plant growing just fine indoors, near a window, in the depth of winter. I started these from bits of basil that I bought in the supermarket. Added an aerator. I’m quite impressed. Cheap, easy, tasty, fun!

This is Trump bowing out of his ‘magnificent’ 12 day war. Anything from this point is a totally different war, because Donald totally made Iran great again, but they blew it, and deserve everything they get from here on in. Or whatever.

I get in my little Isuzu and the key snapped off in the ignition!? Solution - grab some old pliers and grind them down until they’re REALLY small, then pull the key out.

My heater’s thermostats died so I created my own. 2 x ESP32s with temp sensors that get queried by a .net core app running on a Pi that saves to db and runs a web interface. It has two relays that turn the boiler on for hydronic convectors and heated slab.

You just know this photo is now going to be used for every piece written about Trump throwing shade on Musk.
