It’s funny how perceptions of Reno are based almost exclusively on its ratty downtown. It’d be like hanging out in Compton for a weekend and then declaring LA to be a crime-ridden shithole. Anyhow, I live in Tahoe and work most of the time in Reno. I came from San Francisco and have lived in a number of places. Reno…

I’m smitten with Jaque on their indoor team (who also happens to be one hell of a volleyball player).

Yes, creepy. But after being confronted with another Trump atrocity, seeing a happy Henry Winkler was a nice palate cleanser.

I saw one of these earlier this week. I generally love Maserati styling, but this car is horrible in person. Horrible. If it could cavort with other cars, its best friends would be VW Cabriolets, Toyota Solaras, and Lexus SC 430s. It looks like the kind of car an aging trophy wife would drive to her tennis lessons in…

Holy crap: #10 in the highlight video. In terms of uncomfortable tension, it’s the ping pong equivalent of the bar scene in Inglorious Bastards.

I’m 40 years old and have a couple of degrees with honors from very good universities. And yet . . . I ALWAYS want to touch art and famous things. Not fuck them up or alter them in any way. Just feel them with my finger tips. I don’t act on the impulse, but it’s always there.

There’s a lot of good on this site. But this is the bad part—frothing, often petty judgment. It’s that Internet thing where people are just so eager to confidently assume the worst in others.

I saw this on a first date when I was in high school.

I AM TERRIBLE AT CHOOSING FIRST-DATE MOVIES.

There’s a lot of weirdness with the general citizenry and legislature in Alaska, but the Alaska Supreme Court has historically been fantastic and much better than most other states’ high courts.

I’m not clear about the conclusions as to its snow/ice capabilities (as opposed to rock crawling). Are you saying it isn’t a good crossover if one drives in snowy, icy roads regularly in the winter? I’d say Subarus are very capable winter vehicles (note their abundance among locals in all ski towns) and am wondering…

I live in Tahoe and have had bears in my wife’s car on a couple occasions. The bears here can open certain kinds of unlocked car doors with their mouths, like the pull handles of a Subaru. I’m guessing the bear got into the car through an unlocked door and then somehow closed the door.

It seems like this site has posted a dozen negative articles about Bill Simmons. But it hasn’t commented on his creation of The Ringer (which is a new and, in my opinion, very good voice in sports media). What gives?

Okay. I’m trying to learn how to talk about these things openly but respectfully. I’m sorry if I fucked up.

I’m all for calling out domestic abusers, but are we sure Depp is guilty? I haven’t followed this as closely as many, so this isn’t a rhetorical question. All I know is that Heard has made accusations in a nasty divorce/PR battle. It seems like everyone here believes Heard’s claims, which is fine. But, at this point,…

BMW 850i. IMO, BMW’s best looking car. But it didn’t feel particularly fast for a late 90's car. I drove an M5 that was only 3-5 years newer, and it was much, much faster.

Awaits the penguin gifs and Barry’s note of contrition . . . .

There’s a reason why we treat actual bad acts and attempted bad acts differently, whether in baseball or crime. In the midst of the hyperbole and snark, I didn’s see a response to this point. And where in the MLB rules does is say that they are purely for deterrent purposes? Why can’t they also be retributive?

On the other hand, actually doing something bad is worse than just trying to do something bad, right? It’s why attempted murder results in a lesser sentence than actual murder.

As a Warriors’ fan, meh. He was calling a timeout with no one really around him. It would have been surprising if the refs had called a travel. Anyhow, we lost because OKC stepped up its defense, limited its TOs, and because we took horrific shots. And also because Westbrook and Adams are terminator robots.

I don’t care whether they’re healthy or not. The peanut-butter dark chocolate bar is glorious and tastes better than anything in the actual candy isle.
