I mean, I’ve split firewood… Maybe twice. I’m not very good at it. But I’ve done it.
I was splitting some branches the tree people trimmed off my oak, to feed my ornamental suburban fireplace. So, not very much wood to split. But it did need to be split.
Yeah, it must be more common behavior among suburban/town/city people than I’d thought. (I know I’m not the only rural SDMB poster, but I have the impression we’re in the minority. ETA: and not everybody rural splits wood.)
Anyway – that was why I asked: to check an assumption. Sometimes when I do that it turns out I was wrong.
ETA: Stand with your feet apart! so they’re not in line with the splitting tool. But maybe you know that (it’s a really common error with inexperienced wood splitters, though. Most of them don’t hit their feet; but it can happen.)
I answered both “Yes, moderately well” and “Don’t know, never tried” even though that seems contradictory. I vaguely remember splitting firewood with an axe way back when I was in Boy Scouts, and I think I probably still could, but it’s been decades since I’ve even thought about it.
In New Orleans I had crayfish (crawfish?) on pizza. It was pretty good.
Banana pepper rings are great on a pizza.
I don’t actually remember everything I’ve ever had on a pizza. I took my best guess at it, and added “other”.
Argh! You omitted green olives! I don’t know why it’s so rare for pizza places to offer green olives; they’re probably my favorite topping.
Only 70% of people have had a plain, “cheese only” pizza?
(Also, it’s unclear from the question whether that includes tomato sauce. I assumed it did, as otherwise the “favorite topping” poll is badly lacking. But I’ve had pizza with cheese and no sauce, too. But i guess that interpretation could be why the number is so low.)
I’ve had a lot of different pizza toppings, many of which I didn’t like. But I’ve tried them.
My go-to pizza at the place nearest us is a cheese pizza, heavy on the sauce. Their sauce is great, and the give the pie a bit extra time in the oven because of the extra sauce. Mmmmmmmm.
There used to be a place in La Crosse, Wisconsin called Pizza Doctors that had a buffet featuring pizzas with lots of fairly unusual toppings. I’m pretty sure one of them was a seafood pizza with shrimp. I don’t remember if there was lobster on it, though. Maybe crab? Having been there once I was left with the impression that most of their pizzas weren’t especially good; their main claim to fame was just that they were unusual.
They did get featured on the Food Network show Outrageous Food, though.
I don’t see how there isn’t a “cheese” option, just a “cheese only”.
Does any pizza have to have cheese on it by definition?
It’s pretty standard on American pizzas, but I don’t believe pizza by definition has to include cheese. I’m pretty sure some traditional Italian pizzas lack cheese. And I have know some vegans who sometimes order a cheeseless pizza if there isn’t a non-dairy cheese option available.
I’ve had a pesto pizza with no cheese. It was delicious.
Come to think of it, I’m not sure if there was cheese in the pesto. But it may have been vegan.
I would have chosen green bell pepper if it was available. I don’t put orange, red, yellow and green bell peppers in the same category.
Sausage is my favorite pizza topping. Can’t get it here. 
I’ve had pizza with no cheese, but agree that cheese is the norm, at least in the USA.
I really can’t vote in the early retirement question.
I probably could have retired a while ago, and choose to keep working until >60. But… Certainly not because my spouse pressured me.
Anyway, neither answer works, because i can’t relate to the hypothetical. It’s like, “if you were a totally different person, what do you think you would have wanted to do?”
And my response to the early retirement is “keep working, but quit the job you hate and find something to work at that you like.”
I strongly prefer full ripe sweet peppers to green ones. Green ones are green in both senses. Red sweets are full ripe and so are some yellow and orange ones; depends on the variety as some of the latter ripen red and others are yellow/orange at full ripeness.
Oh, yes. I think we were too rural for the ice cream truck. They’d have had to do a lot of driving per kid.
We did, however, get an icecream delivery truck every couple of weeks; selling not individual portions to children, but half gallons of icecream to the adults of the household. I got to choose one of the flavors each time, though; which certainly felt like a treat to me.
It would be mine too, except that would be fighting the hypothetical (“Assuming that these are the only two options and no compromise can be reached”). But I agree that it’s a pretty big (and probably unrealistic) hypothetical to swallow.
Not precisely. The options given were “retire early” or “keep working.” They didn’t specify “in the same job”; but I didn’t want to answer just “keep working” because that would include doing so in the same job.
