I also enjoy our Wii U; my 6-yr-old will be 7 soon and he loves it as well.

The worst part about this is how Duterte’s whole war against drugs is really a war against the poor. His hypocrisy, admitting his own ‘drug abuse’ but not excusing anyone else is truly telling.

Back in the late 90s, my band had a regular gig at Bruno’s bar in the Mission district of San Francisco. The way the place was set up, there is a restaurant area that you enter through, then a long walk past the bar before the doorway to the next area, which was where we would play - a big U-shaped place with an…

The only thing this story is missing is that dude was the drummer.

Yeah but it wasn’t just the paper that ran the story. I saw this on a national news program (can’t remember which), but it BOTHERED me because the only redeeming quality of this story is that Santa is black: “Look! A black Santa. And people are treating him like a regular Santa (because, I believe, he’s been doing…

If you can show me a team that replaced 3/5th of the rotation and the cleanup hitter mid-season, and maintained the same production for the 2nd half in to the World Series (“All in” was the theme of 2014's trade deadline for A’s), I’d love to hear which team that was.

My other problem with Beane and his…

Self-professed ‘casual’ GSW fan here; in their 30 years of ineptitude I got tired of watching three quarters of exciting basketball with a 4th quarter of no strategy at all.

Long time A’s fan chiming in here.

This. The major label game involves signing a contract that gives the artist a lot of money that they eventually have to pay back through touring - not record sales, not merchandise sales - touring. The contract usually stipulates that everyone gets paid before the artist does.
One reason why the Metallica v Napster…

Offending Twitter is like shooting fish in a barrel; you get a lot of mutilated fish and a useless barrel.

Sort of a non-sequitor, but the image of those boats reminded me of an art installation I saw by African artist Romuald Hazoume. He documents the illegal gasoline trade in Benin, among other things. I met him once in Maine at a somewhat infamous arts summer camp that I worked at for one summer.

Just want to point out that, in the 1980s, when the first Macintosh was introduced, you could buy a carrying case for it, it had a handle in the top (for one-hand carry), and the “fat” version had 512k (k!) of RAM.

Oh great. I just bought this game last week.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Third best thing was Baron Davis sweeping the Mavs 2006.

It’s not exclusive to NYC; in California, LA has NoHo (SoCal), Bay Area has SoMa (NorCal). Some further north actually consider SF area SoCal, it gets conservative up there.

“Look how they did it - Lester, Hammel, Zobrist, Russell, ... I mean, like, we were right on the same doorstep, right? RIght??”

Wow - salaries and wages only accounts for 1.1 million dollars, at UC Berkeley? A *lot* of people work here. That’s not very much.

While Wahoo is an artifact of a more racist era, I like to think that after years and years of association with the major league team, it has transcended its meaning from bigoted background and ony refers to the team in Cleveland. A few editorial tweaks, maybe it could fixed?

Now I want to know which of the above schools pledge allegiance to the Bible, teach Creationism/abstinence as sex education, and prefer their teachers/student-body to be packing heat.

“...given who they are...”
