Who doesn’t love Pizza? This is better than any Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa John’s, etc. Once I tried this, nothing is the same.

The image shows a pizza inside an open cardboard pizza box. The pizza is topped with a variety of ingredients, including melted cheese, black olives, mushrooms, and pieces of meat, which appear to be sausage and ham. The cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy on top. The pizza is cut into slices, and the crust is visible around the edges. The inside of the box lid is plain brown, and on the side of the box, there are checkboxes for different toppings, such as anchovies, peppers, pepperoni, meatball, onions, and special. None of these checkboxes are marked.

@energisch_ @gerrymcgovern unfortunately, the more mom and pop, specialized, independent #home service companies get eaten up by larger all-in-one, everything home #conglomerates the harder that becomes.

Even with their #expensive #crm #serviceTitan #efficiency #constantContact #app tool for #scheduling and #pricing their new #super #skills #company needs to charge more for everything with less experienced #workers than if you had a #momAndPop #master do the work!

If anyone truly wants to #save the #Planet everyone needs to kick #bro out of the #game

Anyone that thinks replacing #human #skills and #abilities with #software and #machines is better for the #Environment than letting a human expell their own #energy doing the same things, is the problem, not part of any real word solution.

Are you the #Victim or the #Crime ?

#GratefulDead #BuiltToLast #MuzakLessons #ClimateChange Does one really need an #ebike for a trip through #downtown and back?

@maxalmonte14

As do all the #HomeService companies using #ServiceTitan to #streamline #operations and provide #ConstantContact

That $h!t doesn't come cheap. Guess who gets to pay for it? While at the same time, fueling the #erosion of their own #communities

Giving those that can #afford it #CarteBlanche to #gobble up #MomAndPop

Billy Burgers sign in Wilbur, WA. The sign is neon with an arrow pointing leftward. The smiling boys face is a bit creepy with upturned nose and bright red lips. Beneath the sign is a single wooden picnic table at the roadside.

With a lilting ditty that could be a sonic sister to 2010's "Congratulations," our heroes are back to tickle our senses and bob our heads once again. "Nothing to Declare" has all the hallmark...

Bonkers that it's been 15 years since I first saw MGMT's "Time to Pretend" video on MTV2's "Subterranean" show. That whole sentence is a little bonkers. Back then my Tivo would record "Subterranean" for me every week and I'd ...

I did my #breakfast burrito thing at the #Diner, the owner was cooking and cranking some #reggae, I sampled some of his "own recipe" Salsa, had black coffee that can strip paint, and everything is absolutely fucking BEAUTIFUL with the world.

YEAH!
Beautiful.

As the sun sets and the neon signs come alive, I find myself drawn to this type of drive-in restaurant. There's something magical about how the neon lights paint the dusk sky, casting a colorful glow over the pavement. The crackling sound of the old speakers adds a touch of vintage charm to the atmosphere, transporting me back to a simpler era.

"Batman: The Cult" trade paperback first edition, found in one of my to-do boxes Saturday evening by a customer who wisely elected not to carry it around all night. The Dark Knight approves making the tough calls.

Bonnett's Books is an 80+ year old, 3rd generation, family buisness in a 147 year old building which survived the Great Flood of 1913, in the hometown of the 1st Edgar Cayce Psychic Institute. I'm often asked if we're haunted...

Do you believe in ghosts?
