When Curry went out on February 4th, the Warriors were in 8th place. He’s missed 20 games. During that time Andrew Wiggins missed 5 games and Draymond missed 2 games. The Warriors are now in 5th place. The West is really weird.

Def easy if you are waking up in Hiroshima. It just seemed like a lot of logistics to me if you are starting and ending the day in Kyoto. But some people are great at squeezing in everything. I aspire to be one of those people, but alas. And no problem. In 2014 you and a few others were a huge help to me on the old site in planning a month long bar trip in Europe, which at the time was my first time out of North America. Safe travels

Oh I get it; a few years ago we were supposed to spend 6 days in Kyoto after a week in Tokyo. After 3 or 4 days (including 1 in Osaka and Nara), we hopped on the train back to Tokyo to finish the trip. Adding on Hiroshima would be pretty easy as you suggest. Adding on Miyajima would require a bit more planning. Edit to add: I’m sure you have all your big reservations (if any) planned for Tokyo, so below are some walk in noodle/other places I can recommend (as of like 5 years ago, so COVID closures may apply). Tatsunoya Ramen - amazing smokey garlic tsukemen. My first meal off the flight extremely jet lagged. Order with vending machine. Shin Udon in Shinjuku Afuri ramen - yuzu based ramen. They have a few locations, all in trendy locations. Fu-unji ramen - long lines but fast and terrific Nagi Ramen - in Golden Gai. Anchovy (or sardine?) based broth Butagumi - marbled pork katsu. Nodaiwa in Ginza for unagi Tempura Tenfusa if you want eel tempura. Jazz Blues Soul Bar was a dope record bar we went too. Highly recommend doing a record bar if you can. This one (maybe all) will have plenty of tourists.

You have three full days in Kyoto excluding travel, or you are traveling on some of those days? I ask because Hiroshima (and especially Miyajima) is a trek of a day trip. Certainly doable if you are committed, just depends on how much you want want to do in Kyoto. Shit is really spread out, so like Arashiyama is almost a full day (but can be paired with golden temple early am), fushi inari takes up a bunch of time, etc. Tokyo is so fucking awesome, I’m jealous.

Re watched The Strangers from 2008. Young Liv Tyler could get it.

Any of you guys who do your own taxes do a mega back door Roth? My firm just added the after-tax contribution feature in 2022, so I threw in to that on top of traditional 401k and regular back door Roth. Just curious if it’s a complicated filing or just simple 1099-R? The regular back door can be a pain on turbo. thanks

I’m of the uninformed opinion that A&M at most makes some kind of cosmetic tweak and this all blows over (and others follow in short order). It can’t be overstated what a feckless institution the NCAA is. Hope to be wrong.

EO (available on Criterion). Effective. Can’t remember another movie quite like it. What a year for donkeys in cinema

Incredible amounts of disrespect for a 2x (soon to be 3x) MVP and 3x (soon to be 4x) first team All NBA, who is the subject of unending adulation from every respectable basketball podcast. I will not stand until Kendrick Perkins, Stephen A Smith and my high school friend Tim all recognize Jokic is the King!

You need to get smarter friends and stop watching day time sports tv.

Awesome game. Joel is a monster

I expected Babylon to suck, but I admit I got hooked and mostly really liked it. Margot can do no wrong in my book (except Amsterdam, that movie was garbage).

I’ll take your word for it, as I don’t pretend to be able to scout high school players. I just rely on the statistically predictive nature of composite rankings, and in that department we are woefully behind if we expect to have anything more than a pedestrian defensive interior after 2023.

I get that, and it’s certainly a great data point. But Georgia and A&M are absolutely fucking stacked at defensive line, as you know. They can afford to take a flyer on a .92 behemoth from New Jersey, whereas our entire depth chart hinges on him being a rock star. Hopefully he’s great. If not, oof….

Hate to beat a dead horse, but our interior defensive line depth chart is about to be scary (not in a good way) after this year, right in time for the SEC. We are really banking on low 4 stars massively out performing their ranking, and it seems like we probably missed on Ross.

The firearm enhancement was dropped, significantly reducing the max jail time. I haven’t been following this too closely, but the prosecutors seem pretty JV based on what I’ve read. And I take offense to their slander of “big-city attorneys” trying to “secure billable hours”!

OP’s best post on this site by a mile.

So I ordered some Gilmans from this link for like $100 off, said they would be ready in approximately June. Just arrived today. I’ll take it

I’m not usually a Spielberg fan, and maybe it’s just because I’m getting old and soft, but I really, really enjoyed this movie.

Possessor - inception with body horror. Not sure how I missed this a few years ago. Cronenberg’s son, who also just came out with infinity pool. Streaming on Hulu. rewatched Rec - Spanish found footage horror. Absolutely awesome. Streaming on Prime. Hard recommend.

Resources are finite so I get not being able to pull it off late in the game. But it would be nice to have a replacement ready to go when JaTavion enters the draft next year.

Love 3.

Westbrook to Clippers. Makes absolutely zero sense for the Clips. Bizarre

How you listen to that podcast is beyond me. I like Feldman ok, but neither of them have any on air personality, the production quality is awful (background noise galore), and half the time Feldman sounds like he’s packing up to run to the airport. Staples is the only CF podcast I’ve been able to regularly stomach.
