There are alternate locations in Oakland—Howard Terminal and Jack London Square—that Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf is trying to sell the team on, but those are in less public transit–friendly parts of Oakland, and the team certainly can’t afford to make things less convenient for fans right now.

I guess it depends on the situation. I can accept that I might freeze in the moment. I can’t know that about myself since it hasn’t happened. But I know that I would say something later to the police. I have done that part - notified authorities as a mandated reporter for possible child abuse. Waiting ten years is not…

Arizona is not “the west”, it is flyover country. I can kind of imagine what you are saying in the Pacific Northwest tho.

Do you even teach out in the West? Here in Nor Cal, it is hard to find those kind of bubbles outside of Palo Alto or the East Bay. (I grew up in an East Bay bubble) Everywhere else is plenty diverse economically. The “middle class” in the South Bay, Oakland, Marin, Napa, (where I teach) and Sac (where I have taught)…

Yes. They were in the top division of Brazil’s football structure, and played well enough last year to qualify for international competition.

And being rich helps this how? Getting involved with policy and trying to prevent the rich from running the government for their own benefit is the only real way to fix things. It will happen, but will take a long time.

Look, if you want to do that dumb “Canada doesn’t want X” thing, then take back Beiber. We don’t want him in the US.

Get over yourself

There are levels. As a teacher, I interact with ~200 kids each year. There is the potential to help thousands over the years if it’s done right, with additional returns if you take an active role in unions or policy.

Intentional.

Still won’t save you from malice

I used to work in a lab that had an autoclave (giant pressure cooker) that you had to put your knee on and lean in to reach samples in the back. I always checked behind me to make sure nobody was there to shove me in, lock the door, and turn it on. Would make for a pretty bad death.

Lagunitas finishes at way too high a gravity. Homebrew is better for a lot of things, but classic west coast IPAs with “C” hops end up being easier/cheaper to just buy since breweries out here have them really dialed in and you don’t get quite the same value over replacement beer when making your own compared to …

Did they ever come out with a second edition of Luponic Distortion? The first rotation was alright, but I would rather drink a Union Jack since it hits on the same general flavor notes with a more enjoyable bitterness.

Go drink another smirnoff ice and keep your bad opinions to yourself.

I’m curious about the pain involved in falling into a hot acid bath vs a hot water bath. I’ve burned myself with concentrated nitric acid, and that didn’t hurt. I assume it basically killed the sensory nerves in the area so I didn’t feel anything. I’ve spilled boiling water on myself and that was the worst pain I’ve…

From what I understand, the lava that you see flowing consistently that you can actually fall into (not the Mt St Helens kind) is basically molten glass that you would not sink into. You just sit on top and burn.

But what if it was? Best ratings ever! “Will president trump fire Bolivia by nuking it? Find out next week on ‘the apprentice: presidential edition!”

So? Sometimes the less likely outcome has to land.

Obama’s staff are Democratic party staffers. None of them would take the job.
