About ten years ago something happened in the Tekscopes group that caused it to split into two groups and one of the outcomes was someone painted a 500 series scopes in white with red flames.
Or that might have been the liquor. I can't find any pictures of the scope.

"The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it."
 - Albert Einstein, 1953

What you do or tolerate, is up to you and your own conscience.  But when you ridicule others for having principles and following their own conscience, you are evil.

I think Albert Einstein didn't aim this particular comment at molesting one physical object which -in the grand scheme of things- doesn't really matter.
--- End quote ---
You think wrong, then.  Einstein's point was that it is exactly the small things that humans do that build the world, that they matter more than the mass atrocities we all know.  That we need to focus on the things we ourselves can do, instead of "the grand scheme of things", to make the world a better place.

I have principles.  I abide by them. I do not exploit others.  I do not tolerate evil.  By this way, I try to avoid putting the world in greater peril.

If it's possible to place orders and only pay for them when picking up or on delivery, wouldn't that make it all too easy to DoS them by spamming orders without accepting them?

A large chain pizza franchise would likely have your phone number or email when you ordered and blacklist you. (or sell your details to the mob!)

But pineapple pizza remains an abomination.

--- End quote ---

My favorite kinds of pizza have pineapple on them. I'm not sure why some people find that so vile, or care. Lots of Polynesian foods combine pineapple with meat too.

--- End quote ---

I'm completely ambivalent to pineapple on pizza, raises no emotional response with me but I also fail to understand why people get so damned upset when somebody publishes their 'take' on a classic dish.

Pineapple goes *great* with all sorts of pork/pig meat, it doesn't seem a terrible combination to put it on a pizza but by the same token I can't remember the last time I ate pizza with pineapple.

I reckon it's some sort of manufactured outrage, might even be traceable back to a marketing campaign somewhere.

Italians can be fussy about their food. When someone buggers their food, changing it, so it no longer suits their taste, they see it as a kind of cultural appropriation!

It's all a load of bollocks. Anyone should be able to incorperate other cultural elements into their food, dress, music etc. without being persecuted. If someone likes pineapple pizza, they should be allowed to enjoy it. If someone else doesn't like it, no one is forcing them to eat it!.
