haven't had the thin crust at pizza hut but I agree, no real "bad" pizza out there. you have epic, great, ok, edible. most chain places fall under ok to edible.

I don't know how Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc. survive in the North East. I mean with so many seriously viable pizza options that deliver, why? Usually not a lot cheaper, and if it's a buck cheaper, is it worth the trade off? Pizza Hut I almost understand, because it doesn't really taste like normal pizza. I could see someone just liking that for some reason. But the other places...the Dominos, Papa John's of the world...I can't see it.

Normally I'd roast you for ordering pizza hut, but you live in Houston, so........

im of the opinion that there is no such thing as bad pizza so take this with a grain of salt but pizza hut thin crust is pretty damn good

It's really more of a chain vs mom & pop thing. Pizza Hut and Domino's put out a tasty pizza, no doubt about it. But 99% of the time, I'll opt to pay nearly double the price for a pie from a mom & pop. It's more principle than anything else.

pizza hut is not bad, dominos is not even close to be "tasty"

Pizza Hut?  Seriously?   Pizza Hut is horrible.

And I wouldn't feed Domino's to a dog.

Took my son to a local joint for a pie and wings.  To die for.

I'm definitely not going to argue over chain joints because they could all go away and I'd never miss any of them, but they all have at least one or two items on their menu that don't suck.

i hate you and your family for having this opinion

Lockpickers 3-D Print TSA Master Luggage Keys From Leaked Photos

The TSA is learning a basic lesson of physical security in the age of 3-D printing: If you have sensitive keys—say, a set of master keys that can open locks you've asked millions of Americans to use—don't post pictures of them on the Internet.

A group of lock-picking and security enthusiasts drove that lesson home Wednesday by publishing a set of CAD files to Github that anyone can use to 3-D print a precisely measured set of the TSA's master keys for its "approved" locks—the ones the agency can open with its own keys during airport inspections. Within hours, at least one 3-D printer owner had already downloaded the files, printed one of the master keys, and published a video proving that it opened his TSA-approved luggage lock.

Anyone that would order a lobster roll from McDonald's deserves to be shot (or possibly they deserve to be fed a lobster roll from McDonald's).

If you're in Maine there are literally 100s of places to get fresh high quality lobster rolls. Getting one from farging McDonald's is the height of slovenly American stupidity.
