  1. I prefer Kailua. My sister and her family have lived there for about 20 years. When we visit, we feel like locals. Plus, it’s tough to beat sunrise at Lanikai Beach or up at the pillboxes followed by a breakfast sandwich at Kalapawai Market.
  2. Lahaina, Kailua, San Diego, Park City, NYC
  3. “When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror, like the passengers in his car.”
  4. I had 17 squares across multiple pools. Finished the night 0-17.
  5. Spam is a buddy of mine. I sent him a message with your PayPal info. I’ll follow up with him.
  6. Run DMC, Beastie Boys, and RHCP are enough to carry this decade. Plus, two albums by The Who and four from the the Stones.
  7. I’d like to read the article, especially their methodology, analysis, and limitations sections. Other studies show positive effects, so this one article doesn’t mean that universal pre-K is not beneficial.
  8. The write-up of the findings suggests variability in the quality of pre-K programs in TN may be one of the reasons for the negative effects.
  9. My Niner friends in Oakland are hoping for that.
  10. Isn’t the first rule of attending Eeyore’s birthday party, “avoid the drum circle?”
  11. Sounds like your buddy may have been an asshole
  12. Private Cowboy! I didn’t place him as John Henry in Moneyball. Should have with that voice.
  13. I’m in a playoff pool with some friends and need to make up some ground (fucking Cowboys). I’m going with the following: Bengals (8 points), Packers (12), Buccaneers (4), and Bills (16). Am I overestimating the Bengals? I’m also in a playoff lineup league where you pick a one and done lineup each week. The Bengals and Niners are likely to lose so I’m heavy on them; however, Kupp is a great play this weekend. Worth a risk to play home or wait a week? This is my first time with this format so I’m unsure of the optimal strategy.
  14. Did you fuck her in the ass on a private jet? If not, we don’t care.
  15. I wanted to name our son Howard (he would have been the IV) after my father. My wife did not. We were very close to naming our daughter Elliot (we loved Scrubs and the idea of androgynous names for girls); however, we had friends with girls named Elle and Ella. A good friend of mine is named Koala Bear (first and middle names). I also know a guy named Bear. Both of them grew up in Berkeley.
  16. While I disagree that throwing a precision pass from the 50 is likely to end well when the defense is playing prevent, I do agree that briefly stopping the clock to move the chains on a 1st down is something to consider. A team shouldn’t have to wait for a 45-year old person to run down the field behind the play. Dak slid with about 9 seconds left and the official appeared on the screen 4 seconds later (he ran into Dak with 4 seconds left). If Dallas had executed the last play the way it was intended (ie., handing the ball to the official and not blocking him), they had a shot to run a legitimate play like you are thinking from about the 20.
  17. From the 40 with 14 seconds left, they had at most 2 chances (both low probability). Threading the needle from the 50 isn’t easy.
  18. My post implied this. Dak and the linemen obviously were confused and made it difficult for the umpire to spot the ball.
  19. On the last play, the Niners had the sidelines protected pretty well. The Cowboys had an opportunity after the Niners TO to remind everyone (especially Dak and the center) the umpire needed to touch the ball before the snap.
  20. I found a BottleRock 2022 lineup playlist. RKS and Amos Lee are definitely on my radar now. Also, Fantastic Negrito and Greensky Bluegrass.
