Little Caesars founder Mike Ilitch distinguished himself from the likes of Herman Cain and “Papa” John Schnatter. For example, Ilitch paid Rosa Parks’ rent for the last decade of her life so she could live in a safer neighborhood.

I only scrolled through the first page of your link but, sadly, they were all nouns.

I need an adjective that describes the emotion that one encounters when one’s higher expectations encounter reality in such a way that one realises the optimism one felt was sadly misplaced.

I, for one, am “a tad miffed” about the recent outages.

Hmm, that’s not it… I am “slightly narked.”

Nope, not that either. “I expected better”?

Close, but not quite the word I was looking for… :thinking:

Well, the pepperoni itself is the biggest food cost there. The dough, sauce, and cheese cost literally pennies per pizza.

On the plus side, monitoring is working well…
Still not sure about the cause yet.

Ah, brute force.

If it doesn’t solve your problem, you’re simply not using enough.

Are the editing rules different now?

I’m going to change this post a few times to find out.

It is now 18:39 PDT

EDIT: it is now 18:40 PDT

ANOTHER EDIT: now it’s 18:41

It’s 18:42 and Discourse believes this post is “4m” old.
