It takes well more than a minute if you are doing it right, rest the dough at room temp, etc. Oven needs to be real hot. I managed multiple dominos back in the day and then I owned my own place for a few years, so yes it is easy to make a pizza if you have the ingredients but it’s also a bit messy and time consuming, hence the reason people buy pizza out.
But also, yes little Cesar’s sucks. On the other hand, it is a franchise so anyone could open one should they chose

Can’t you sell or give your credits to another person? I’m on vt electric coop. For several years I was generating more than needed and I applied my excess credits to my parents account. They allow you to apply credits to any account also served by the coop, could be your camp, second home, neighbor, etc.

My solar company installed the meters and all wiring. I’m on VT Electric coop so I’m sure there are some differences. Once installed the CoOp came and swapped the meter and activated it.

Ok I didn’t think this would be complicated. Hood owns Booth Brothers. Hood produces Hannaford private label milk. Yes hannaford sells the same brands as nearly every other store in vermont. Those referenced above plus a number of smaller, mostly organic brands.
I don’t know who bottles the private label brand for shaws and price chopper. It could be Hood, I’m sure a quick Google search could confirm.
So not sure what lie you think is being perpetrated here but those are facts.
Now on to the milk with dignity program. It was first agreed to by Ben And Jerry’s and subsequently all the Vermont grocery stores, except for hannaford.
So now, what is that program you wonder? In short it says “The Program enlists the resources of participating food industry leaders, who commit to source their milk in compliance with the fundamental human rights of dairy workers, to improve farm labor conditions and help offset farmer’s costs of compliance by providing farmers premium prices for milk.”
Meaning that price chopper and shaws require the milk being sold under their brand is sourced from farms meeting those basic standards. Hannaford does not.

Store brand. Not Hood, Monument Farms, etc. https://www.wmtw.com/article/milk-with-dignity-campaign-for-migrant-farm-workers-targets-hannaford/40758660
Edit - So some are confused by this. I’m referring specifically to the in house private label brand. Not the brands you can buy anywhere, to include hannaford.

I stopped shopping at Hannaford when they elected to be the only grocer in VT that is fine screwing dairy farmers and refuses to sign on to the milk with dignity program.

UVM also outsources services, like all of the food service employees. They are all contractors and not UVM employees.

Yes. Or call the commissioners office at 828.2011 and explain your issue.

You can refuse a plate. You do not need to provide any reason. If asked for a reason you can just say it’s personal. Or you can say the letter combination is offensive or reminds you a traumatic event in your life. Or the number combination is bad luck in your “fill in the blank” (culture, religion, home country). Happens all the the time and is perfectly acceptable.

There also are no “Q” because it can be confused with zero. The “Z” is not used because in the computer records the letter Z is used to represent disabled plates. So if you see a disabled plate that shows handicap emblem followed by 1234 that plate is in computer records as Z1234.

Air BnB is taxed, or should be.
Meals and Rooms Tax
You may view your venture as small scale compared to a larger bed and breakfast or inn. However, Vermont tax law requires that you collect and remit tax, just like any other business operating in Vermont.
Vermont law states that sleeping accommodations offered to the public for a consideration on premises operated by a private person, entity, institution, or organization are subject to the Vermont Meals and Rooms Tax if those rentals total 15 or more days in any one calendar year. Note: If you rent your room or other type of lodging to the same person for 30 or more consecutive days, the person is then considered to be a permanent resident, and different rules apply.
The following is a noninclusive list of types of lodging rented or owned by the host which fall under the provisions of the law:
A house or room(s) in a house Cabin, cottage, condominium, ski lodge Barn, bunkhouse, tree house, camper, tent

The town in the series was founded in 1625, which would have been just a few short years after 1620 when the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Jericho’s links to the Pilgrims are strong as the town has its own attraction dedicated to them, known as Pilgrim World.
In Wednesday, the town was founded by a man named Joseph Crackstone who has an ancient link with the Addams Family’s ancestors.

The Jericho we see in Wednesday is a fictionalized take on the real-life town of Jericho, Vermont.
Jericho’s name is taken from the ancient city of the same name which was founded around 9600 BCE and is believed to be one oldest cities in the world.
Located in the Jordan Valley, the original Jericho features in the bible as it was the first city conquered by the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land.
Thanks to its presence in the bible, Jericho has inspired the naming of towns all over the world, most notably a small town in Vermont which is the town where Wednesday is supposedly set. We see several cars bearing Vermont license plates while the nearby town of Burlington also features briefly in the series.
Where the real and fictional Jerichos differ, however, is that the real town was first settled by a European family called the Browns in 1774, almost 150 years after the town in Wednesday was supposedly established by Joseph Crankstone in 1625. source

My bad. We buy the pizza dough balls that are in most grocery stores. Often times the only dough in the store is still partially frozen.
You are correct on the prebaked crusts. But those are barely better than little Cesar
