I got nothing special to eat either... just some Pizza Hut, stuffed crust pizza. 5... out of 10.
They gave me the pizza... I confirmed it was fresh. Why is it that the entire crust seemed... stale?
Very tough to eat -- my jaw hurt eating that pizza. :( I feel like I just ate a jaw breaker from the TV show Ed, Edd, n Eddy.
But In the advert it says “devoted to the dough”

Looks a little bit like our AEI Optispec, which was loosely based on the Atlas Alpha 3.

This seems to contradict our Dear Leader's love for old and inefficient technologies, as he specifically attempted to reverse bans on incandescent lamps and high-flow bathroom fixtures.
Your reply makes you sound like a condescending, partisan idiot. Just saying... I don't exactly agree with his policies, but I also don't treat his every word with derision and certainly don't call him 'Dear Leader'...

I honestly don't know why they'd even bother banning fluorescent at this point. Its a quickly dieing technology as it is. With whats got to now be the majority of businesses (and likely homes) already having converted to LED, its only a matter of time before manufacturers quit producing fluorescent - simply because lack of a market for it.

electric baseboard heater. These cost much more to operate than pretty much any heat pump or natural gas furnace.
Oh don't worry... they'll be coming for those natural gas furnaces & water heaters next.
Infact some cities and states have or are working on natural gas bans.
For example Denver passed a ban on gas powered heating in new construction commercial & large apartment development (so not homes..yet) and along with it for existing buildings a mandate that replacement heating systems must be fully or partially electric. Boulder has done the same, but also includes new homes larger than 3000 square feet.
These various bans/laws are ofcourse being challenged in court, so has yet to see what all be implemented.

CFL's were banned here in CO last year (along with most other fluorescents), but even before that its been awhile since I'd seen any it stores.
Still have some in use at home & some spares, those will be used up/not saved. They're nothing special to me or something I'd want to keep around.
Will keep the couple of colored ones I have, just use for special occasions & such.
