Read an interesting article recently about how California’s economy is so big and there are so many people that the state gov’t can establish laws that have a ripple effect all over the country (e.g., setting emission standards for cars - which car manufacturers will then meet for all vehicles sold in all 50 states…

Of the top 7 links on DS right now, three are either sponsored posts or KINJA DEALS(!!!) for an automatic bread slicer or whatever, and two more are cross posts from other blogs including one story about a car dealership mascot.

I just had dinner with someone who was living in Thailand for 6 months or so and just got back, and she was slamming some shrimp tempura, tails and all. The fact that they were fried made it a LITTLE better, but...no thanks...I wonder if that is common in Southeast Asia?

damn, thats hard core.

A story about Newt Gingrich’s methods of serving his first wife with divorce papers has “really damaged the discourse in this nation?” I just want you to read that and really let it sink in, given everything we hear regularly from the PEOTUS. Mocking women, LGBTQ folks, religious and racial minorities, and backing…

Make America Greet Again

I am from Southern Illinois and where I come from deer are basically bigger, stupider rats. We can spare several hundred thousand to release all over NYC if that’s what they want.

This kid had so much trouble checking him that @jahbuckets_30 is now known around his school as “The Privilege.”

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I don’t think Kaep gives you a much better chance to win than fucking Matt Barkley.

That is weird. With his reputation, I would have expected him to get all defensive.

And yet still nothing in the CBA banning domestic violence. smdh

I think Dabo’s southern drawl may have confused some of his players during the pre-game speech when he told them that he wanted them “to play hard-r” during the game.

I would never use that term, sir. You are both a scholar and a gentleman.

This is funny because I also pee a lot, but I pee FOREVER. Probably need to get the ‘ol prostate checked out, but that’s neither here nor there. My friends say as soon as I drink a 12 oz. beer I take a 16 oz. piss.

The harshest DUI possible? You are right. That’s totally the worst thing that could have happened to you, or anyone else, as a result of you driving drunk. LULZ BRO

As a dedicated console gamer that has not played PC games since the C&C: Red Alert and original Starcraft days (no FPS on PC, ever), what is it exactly that makes the mouse and keyboard so much better? Is it just faster to move the cursor around and lock onto someone, more precise, or is there something else entirely…

It feels like America is finally starting to settle down, everyone has taken a deep breath, and everyone has gone back to insulting and yelling at women on the internet over good old fashioned topics like baseball.

Looks like Frank Jackson is shaping up to be the next “constantly scream-at-the-crowd, scowl like a villain in Taken, furiously-pound-my-chest-and-the-floor” Duke player that is just fun to hate. And Grayson Allen is like John Scheyer/JJ Redick/Greg Paulus 2.0 only a better player.

Nice to see Greg Oden landed on his feet somewhere.
