        I like it. I'd even consider it. I'm just skeptical of their ability to deliver on a meaningful scale. That site is ridiculously short of - pmb Apr 23, 15:17 1

  - We didn't start the fire -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:46
- Custard > Ice Cream > Soft Serve > Gelato. Twist Custard cone dipped in chocolate jimmies is what I grew up eating, so it's a "Ratatouille" memory - JaxSean Apr 23, 14:32
- Ice cream, soft serve, frozen custard, gelato, sherbet, snow cones/shaved ice -- nm - TWuG Apr 23, 14:29 8
  - NO! One cannot group snow cones and shaved ice together. Absolutely not. - JD Apr 23, 14:40 7
    - Shaved ice is far and away better than snow cones which are trash. I love shaved ice! - Krusty Apr 23, 14:43 2
      - SHAVE ice! well, at least in Hawaii. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:48 1

    - They are both ice with syrup. Yuck. -- nm - TWuG Apr 23, 14:43 3
      - Hmmm...that sounds like a challenge. 8-) Have you ever had shaved ice? -- nm - JD Apr 23, 14:44 2
        
        I have had something called shaved ice but no idea if it was what you'd call shaved ice. -- nm - TWuG Apr 23, 14:50 1
        
        Ok. How about this one? Not exactly strictly shaved ice as the toppings aren't syrup -- (edited) - JD Apr 23, 14:59 [Attachment]
- Gelato, Ice cream, soft serve, custard, sherbet isn't real food. Gelatto because it's Italian so it's the best. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:21 5
  - I find the flavor in gelato lasts longer on my palate - it lingers -- nm - JenBro Apr 23, 15:50
  - DTM! Sherbet is awesome! -- nm - Krusty Apr 23, 14:23 3

- Ice cream #1, all others tied for 2nd -- nm - prayformojo Apr 23, 14:18
- Oh - and add Italian Ice maybe too? -- nm - JenBro Apr 23, 14:16 1
  - Love it! Also, spumoni. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 23, 14:24
- All yummy. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 23, 14:15
- Ice cream, gelato, soft serve, custard (wasn't aware this was a thing on its own) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:15 10
  - Soft serve is just soft ice cream. Custard is very similar to ice cream but with added egg yolks making it denser, creamier and richer. It also takes - Krusty Apr 23, 14:36
  - Woah now, we're adding custom ones? That's how it is? Number 1: DQ Blizzard Treat. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:32 7

      - same reason a McDonald's "shake" is not called a milk shake -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 23, 14:37 3
        
        Rat gonads. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:37 2
        
        That or they don't have the required milk fat percentages to be called ice cream -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 23, 14:39 1
        
        Heheheh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:57
  - original recipe was called frozen custard, american test kitchen has you make a custard first then ice it, but that tastes too much like store bought - zeitgeist Apr 23, 14:31
From B whatever, so David was only looking out for the well being of the original idiot when he was hoping that it wouldn't escape the Disney Park sphere -- (link*) - JD Apr 23, 14:07 2

  - Yeah, it's longer than I expected but very interesting. It's certainly not helping with my craving for a cone of soft serve. - Krusty Apr 23, 14:08 6
    - Hmm. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 23, 14:14 1
      - I've looked into those but they're not good enough. -- nm - Krusty Apr 23, 14:17
    - Soft Serve?!? You can get CUSTARD there. - JaxSean Apr 23, 14:11 3
      - Soft serve meaning from the machine and not scooped from a tub. I love soft serve ice cream! :-) I'm fine with custard as well but it's harder to find - Krusty Apr 23, 14:15 2
        
        We used to have like 0 places here with Custard. (Now we have a few) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 23, 14:27 1
        
        It's what I tend to make when I make my own homemade ice cream. Theresa tells me some of our ice cream trucks actually serve frozen custard. - Krusty Apr 23, 14:47

- Make America Great Again like it was in the 1950s! -- nm - Dano Apr 23, 13:35
- I hadn't heard that rate for the capital gains tax. I have to say I don't really understand taxing it at a higher rate than the highest income tax - pmb Apr 23, 13:28 4
  - also the cap gains rate is only on those with $1m of earnings. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 13:40
  - That percentage takes into account the investment income tax as well as the marginal rate which would go to 39.6%, same as regular income would go up to -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 23, 13:33
  - Because the marginal income tax rate is barely an inconvenience for the wealthy since they can drop their effective rate to - TWuG Apr 23, 13:31 1
    - I don't necessarily agree with your first statement (at least other than the super wealthy and this would affect many below that level). On the second - pmb Apr 23, 13:35
- maybe he meant eye-poppingly low, historically speaking. -- nm - Max Apr 23, 13:24
