I don't think so although it has been quiet here in the FSX_GEN area.
Folks must be busy with their jobs or other real life things.
Oh, and of course Chad Jipiti, he's a good guy.

So I just double checked from Hub 3, and successfully polled all
hubs.
clrghouz shows a graph of traffic, and while traffic to FSX_GEN
is down, traffic to FSX_DAT is up!

Has Chad Jipiti posted on FSXNet?

Sadly yes *it* has. It's posts are easy to see, as they are
filled with waffle, and no real usefull content.

Happy Saturday morning to you over there. Nearly 11.30am here with just a few weeks left of daylight savings to run.
Waffles are nice, especially with maple syrup.

I always thought, pancakes by nature and name, were spoonfuls of
batter hurled at a red hot frying pan, and after a quick flip they're
done. While the waffle was a square brick like thing that you fed into
a toaster, that my parents used to snaffle down with cream and
Lettice, Beetroot, Pinapple, meat pattie, Egg, Cheese...
I was wondering if he might be a Togruta, or some odd version of a blue man..

While I understand you could start and batter and bang it into a waffle iron, I've not ever seen that as a thing, or how that might vary from
the pancake batter.

I wasn't aware of that, although I knew the US changed the DST period a while back.

If people put pineapple on pizza along with Canadian bacon / ham / etc.,
I don't see the problem with pineapple on a hamburger. I've actually
seen some restaurants make a "Hawaiian" burger with a pineapple (and
often with a teriyaki or barbecue sauce).

Here we're in the delightful period when the US has gone to daylight savings time, but Europe has not, so now the US time zones are all an
hour closer.

There's a burger joint not too far from my house that has 20 or 30 different kinds of burgers on their menu. Everything from a peppercorn crusted patty to a sheppard's pie burger. There's even one where they replace the bun with two grilled cheese sandwiches.
One of my favourites is the burger that has a grilled pineapple ring and thick-cut peameal bacon. The burger is so tall I almost feel like I
have to dislocate my jaw just to eat it.

There is *noting* wrong with pineapple! I'm a regular eater of it!
Time for breakfast...... %->
You'll have to try popping it in your leg of ham for roasting. Works a treat, pretty old way to do it too. Along with glace cherries pinned to the top with toothpicks. Kind of gives you a glaze on the ham, and you
get the caramelised pineapple to have with it afterwards.
It might be part of the origin for putting pineapple on your pizza too.

One of my favorite things about traveling is going to a hotel with continental breakfast service featuring one of those flippy waffle
irons. In fact, it's the only thing I enjoy about traveling. :)
My mother use to score the ham to end up with diamond shapes that she would then place a clove in the middle of. Next would be to cover the whole ham with pineapple rings. Then the whole thing would be placed in the oven for, as far as I was concerned, too long to bake! The
pineapple would be the first thing I would go for.
It was cooked on the BBQ along with the meat pattie!

When I was in college, a local chain restaurant used to have breakfast
deals at night - but only until midnight. We'd get there around
11:45pm for the deal, and spend a couple hours drinking free coffee
refills and doing homework.
They were awfully patient, and we tipped as well as we could, being
poor college students.

Traffic has been down across all of the nets, suppose that life is
getting in the way.
I'm going to be at my family's cabin in the mountains soon, looking forward to some time out of town. Trying to get DSL up there has been a pain, we're in an unincorporated community and most of AT&T's automated systems don't register our address.
In the meantime, I have a 1TB card in my phone, all of my movies loaded onto it, and a USB-C to HDMI cable that lets me play movies on our TV.

Good. You're not allowed to.. breaks are ok, but no vanishing on us :P

Yeah, it comes and it goes. I think there's probably plenty of people lurking, but if no conversation starters it can get quiet.

I've been trying to get my grown kids to get their heads around having
cartoons on only from 7:00am until around 10:30am on Saturdays. You'd
be into your third hour of cartoons, sitting in front of the TV with a
bowl of sugary cereal turned to mush in front of you when a cartoon
would end, and the next show was something like Meet the Press.
That's when you got on your bike and rode around to a park or your
friends house. Simpler times.
