DiGiorno is my go-to frozen pizza, although I also like the Detroit-style frozen pizzas from Outsiders Pizza Company.

Detroit style:

Freschetta thin crust is my frozen favorite.

And Red Baron thin or classic crust is second.

Totinos sells $600 million in pizza rolls a year.

Big frozen food.

Those are both products of Schwan.

I happily crushed a plate of pizza rolls as a snack tonite

How many fit on a plate?

I had them recently from the microwave for the first time and that's a different experience.

You can draw a straight line from Brazil's northern most point to the closest border of Canada (Nova Scotia), and it'll be shorter than the straight line to Brazil's southern most point...

In fact you can do the same with the northern most point of Brazil and any other country in the Americas and it'll still be shorter.

reading comments on a Kickstarter thing I backed, delivery due in February and one guy complaining that he hasn't received his item yet. pretty sure the dude has no idea how Kickstarter works.

I bought LED closet lighting on Indiegogo many, many months ago, and it has been pushed back a few times. First because of Covid, and next because they were unhappy with the manufacturer and switched to a new one. Should have it in February, hopefully.

You made me check this out. I am using the Google Maps measurement tool. While it is close, I'm not sure this is accurate.

Northern-most point in Brazil to southern tip of Nova Scotia - 2,845 miles.

Northern-most point in Brazil to southern tip of Brazil (there is a sliver along the Atlantic Ocean that actually goes down past Uruguay) - 2,635 miles.

I am still surprised that the distance is that comparatively close, but unless Google Maps algorithms are wrong, it's 200 miles further to Canada.

[count2infinity]

Your northern most spot is the spot between Guyana and Venezuela, right? And the southern tip is just past Uruguay...

I'm getting:
2660 for Brazil to Nova Scotia
2733 for Brazil to Brazil

I get 2654.5 assuming that little island is part of Nova Scotia.

[PFiDC]

Either way that is an astounding statistic. It's like how Reno, NV is more west than LA.

[count2infinity]

Yeah, I went to the mainland of Nova Scotia, but regardless, it's shorter than to the southern tip of Brazil.

This is also what I got

Good call! I was measuring from the Northeast tip of Brazil which is not as far. That's damn cool. I really would have never guessed Canada and South America are that close.

I took almost the opposite take away...Canada and South America are still far away, but Brazil is super freaking big from top to bottom.

Brazil's Eastern tip is also closer to Africa than it is to its Western tip. which isn't quite as remarkable as the Canada thing.

That's actually a cool fact. That section of the Atlantic is quite narrow.
